NamechangeSimulator

Made in Germany with love (and beer)
Did you ever need to test whether or not your plugin properly works with namechanges? Or maybe you need a nick name plugin that works with every other plugin? Then this is the one you need!

Bukkit plugin to simulate name changes by changing the username in the Gameprofile that Mojang's AuthLib returns while a player logs in. (This does not allow players to log in with wrong names when online mode is enabled!)

This could be used as a nick system as it stores the fake names after logouts and restarts and includes checks for the availability of such name with Mojang. But the main purpose is for testing how other plugins react to namechanges without having to buy/own a lot of accounts (or to have friends).

Please note that this is an extremely experimental plugin! Use at your own risk!

Commands

Aliases: /namechangesimulator, /simulatenamechange, /namechange, /ns

/ns set [<player/uuid>] <fakename> - Set a fake name for yourself or for another player
/ns reset [<player/uuid>] - Reset your name to your original one
/ns list - List all the fake names

Permissions

Players with operator status have all permissions by default.

namechangesimulator.command - Use the plugin command
namechangesimulator.command.set - Change names via /ns set
namechangesimulator.command.set.others - Set the name of other players
namechangesimulator.command.set.used - Set usernames that are already in use by other Minecraft players
namechangesimulator.command.reset - Reset names with /ns list
namechangesimulator.command.reset.others - Reset the name of other players
namechangesimulator.command.list - List all changed names with /ns list

Compatibility

Due to the nature of the "hack" used to change the name it might not be compatible with the Bukkit version of AlwaysOnline or any other plugin/server mod touching the session service.
