Multiplayer games very often do not distinguish between players in terms of appearance. If the game is a team game, then different teams may differ in appearance, sometimes a player can choose specific skins for his character, but this does not mean that they will not be repeated. Accordingly, it is often impossible to distinguish each other only by external similarities and differences. What to do? To do this, there are nicknames that you prescribe when creating a character or when entering the server. Nick is your game name by which other players can easily recognize you. Most often, he is prescribed over the character’s figure so that everyone can immediately notice who is heading for them. Given the fact that Minecraft also has a multi-user mode, the question of nicknames there is also quite acute. But it’s worth noting that the nickname in Minecraft can mean more than just a set of letters - it can perform certain functions. True, this is a special case, and first of all it is still an identifier.
Nicky in Minecraft
Nick in "Minecraft" is prescribed most often at the start of the game. Entering the server, you enter the necessary combination of characters that add up to a specific word, which can be meaningful both for everyone and only for you. However, it should be borne in mind that some servers require more - to play there you will need to register on a site or forum, indicating a nickname there, and then enter the game under the same nickname. But still more often it is prescribed at the entrance to the game. Nick in Minecraft, as already mentioned, may carry a certain value, or may not carry it. Sometimes it is quite important.
Nick value
In a multiplayer game, the nickname value can be much more important than you can imagine. For example, the nickname in Minecraft on certain servers will be checked very carefully so that it does not hide any offensive words or expressions, invalid characters and other elements that could cause inconvenience to other players. Therefore, the choice of a nickname should be approached fairly responsibly - you may make some mistake, perhaps unintentionally, but you may be banned for this, and you will have to correct the situation. Moreover, the nickname still somehow reflects your personality or the identity of your character, so you are unlikely to want to see a meaningless set of characters next to his model. In addition, you should keep in mind that skins for nicknames in Minecraft are very common. But this is an extensive topic that should be addressed separately.
Nick's decoration
Naturally, everyone wants to not only pick a good nickname for themselves, but also make it so that it is brightly and colorfully displayed. Unfortunately, nicknames in Minecraft 1 5 2 and other versions of the game cannot be changed in this way. But there is a completely legal software with which you can add brightness to your nickname. Thanks to him, you will be able to change the font color. This can be applied both to the nickname itself and to the text that you will write in the chat. However, do not overdo it, because too bright colors can hurt the eyes of not only you but also other users, and the administration may complain about you, after which you will be given a warning or even banned. These nicknames are suitable for girls in Minecraft, but boys can also take advantage of such opportunities.
How to change nickname
At the start of the game, always select your nickname very carefully. The fact is that then changing it will be very problematic. This is impossible to do in the game itself, so be aware that in order to make changes you will have to change certain client files. If you do not want to delve into the difficulties, then it is better to pick up a nickname with all responsibility and then not to worry. But if you are ready to delve into the settings, then you can try your hand. To change your nickname, you need to find the folder in which your game is stored, and in it find the minecraft.jar file. This is where all the important settings are contained, so be extremely careful. If you accidentally delete any file or line of information, you can spoil the entire game client, and you will have to reinstall it. Naturally, all progress will be lost.
So, you need to unzip the above file and find MinecraftApplet.class in the folder that appears. It can be opened with a notepad or other text editor. There is a large amount of textual information, among which you need to find the line Player. It is there that you need to change your nickname. Naturally, after that, everything needs to be returned to its original state, that is, reduced to the look of Minecraft.jar.
Nicky on the skins
Earlier it was mentioned that the nickname in Minecraft can perform a much more serious function. And this function is associating with a specific skin. The fact is that in a multiplayer game in the pirated version it is impossible to change the skin - the visual shell of your character. To get a different appearance from the standard, you can find a table with nicknames to which specific skins are attached. And then you can play in multiplayer with the original appearance. But nicknames with skins in Minecraft have their drawbacks.
Cons of using nicknames on skins
First of all, you deprive yourself of the right to choose your own nickname, which is your identifier. But there is a more serious problem - you have no control over the skin. If the owner of the nickname wants to change it, then it will change with you.
