A true nickname system – with skins, a clean GUI, and full command support.

NickPlugin goes further: the nickname appears everywhere – in the tab list, chat, above the player's head, command outputs, death messages, advancement messages, and more. Players can even automatically use the skin of the chosen nickname. Everything is managed through a clean and intuitive inventory-based GUI.
