NameProtected

NameProtect

Client-side Minecraft mod for Fabric 1.21.4. Filters and replaces nicknames and chat text on your screen using custom rules. Server sees nothing – purely visual, runs only on your client.

Features

• Nickname filtering – replaces matching player names in chat, tab list, nameplates above heads, and team-colored displays
• Chat replacement – applies rules to all incoming chat messages
• Custom rules – define any number of word → replacement pairs
• Case-insensitive matching – rule noob matches NOOB, Noob, nOoB
• Unicode support – works with non-ASCII names (Cyrillic, etc.)
• Live config – rules persist in JSON, reload without restart
• Zero server impact – pure client-side mixins, no packets sent

Commands

All commands run client-side under /nameprotect:

| Command | Action |
|———|——–|
| /nameprotect set <word> <replacement> | Add or update a rule |
| /nameprotect remove <word> | Delete a rule |
| /nameprotect list | Show all active rules |
| /nameprotect reload | Reload config from disk |
| /nameprotect clear | Remove all rules |

Example

/nameprotect set Notch SteveTheLegend
/nameprotect set badword ***

After this, any occurrence of “Notch” in chat or above heads renders as “SteveTheLegend”, and “badword” becomes “***”.

Config

Rules stored at .minecraft/config/nameprotect.json:

{
  "notch": "SteveTheLegend",
  "badword": "***"
}

You can edit this file directly, then run /nameprotect reload.
