A Nickname Plugin

[iDieForEXP]

From reading people's applications, it seems alot of people's rp names are going to be different than their Minecraft username. I was wondering if a really simple nickname plugin could be put on the server to help us poor folks with bad memories.

Nicknames would have to be approved by mods. Otherwise, people would go around pretending they were someone they hated.

Well, you could always tab to see who's online, but I was thinking that mods would be the only ones with access to the commands, and assign the names permanently unless a good reason is given to change it.

We have discussed this before, I myself support the idea but having a different chat name and name above your players head is very confusing, There is a plugin that stops this but its spout only and that would mean having to force spout.

Oh your right! There is that pesky nameplate. Ok yeah, that makes tons of sense.

This can also be done by modifying player packets going out to clients, so you actually don't need Spout. Everyone would lose their skins though.

Could you specifically set the packets to send each person's skins? (I understand this would require an annoying database edit every time we whitelist somebody, but it's just an idea)
