nickname changer
 

Hello, I would like to create a plugin that changes the nickname of each player joining the server to one of the nicknames from my pool. I would also like the plugin to draw a nickname from the pool every time the map changes, and so that the drawn nickname cannot be changed by the player.
How to do it?

I basically do this already but specifically for players who have the default name "Player". You should be able to modify it as needed. You'll have to change the logic for preventing a name change because I only disallow "Player" but it shouldn't be that hard.

There are other examples out there for preventing name changes if you search for them. Might need to use an actual search engine though since you can't search for the term "player" on this forum (because it's too popular a term).

Thank you very much! I'll work on your script a bit and try to adapt it to my needs.
Your help is invaluable.
Best regards and have a nice day.

I trimmed the script a bit. I just need each nickname to be replaced with one of the nicknames from the pool. I already have a plugin that stops the player from changing their nickname. Honestly, I don't know anything about programming (I thought it is a little easier and I think my brain is probably too old to learn it, haha). I need this plugin for a private server where I play with friends from my student days. Could you edit the script for me to change the nickname for everyone, regardless of whether their name is player or not? I would be very grateful.

you are talking about changing or adding a nickname to the existing name...

That will probably conflict with a plugin designed to change names. I think both functions must be in the same plugin so that the two functionalities don't conflict.

another detail is to avoid duplicates

In this case, I will disable this plugin so that it does not conflict with the nickname change plugin.

Re: nickname changer
 

I mean completely changing the nickname of each connected player

Ok, so here is this plugin working based on my understanding of your request.
