Item Name Changer

A lightweight Fabric mod that lets players rename their held items directly through simple commands - no anvils or experience required!

Description

Normally, survival players can rename items using an anvil, but in gamemodes like Bedwars, Skywars, or custom minigames, anvils aren't always available. This mod solves that problem by giving players quick access to cosmetic item renaming with full persistence support.

🔹 Features

• Rename items with any custom display name (supports formatting codes)
• Reset items back to their original state with one command
• Persistent storage - item names survive server sync, GUI interactions, and reconnections
• World-specific - separate storage for different worlds/servers
• Auto-restore - automatically restores item names when server resets them
• Works great for survival, creative, and minigame servers
• Client-side only - no server permission required
• Lightweight - minimal performance impact

📋 Commands

/customname "<name>"

Renames the item in your main hand to the specified name.

• Example: /customname "§cMy Cool Sword" (creates a red-colored name)
• Example: /customname "§l§6Golden Blade" (creates a bold golden name)

/customname reset or /resetitem

Resets the item in your main hand back to its original state.

• Removes the custom name
• Also removes the item from persistent storage

/customname restore or /restoreitems

Manually restores all items in your inventory from storage.

• Useful if items lose their names due to server synchronization
• Automatically triggered when needed

/customname help or /itemhelp

Shows detailed help information and examples.
