    I suggest changing the limit of /nick "yournamehere".
    it is really simple to do, and can be done in literaly 2 minutes, It would benefit skygods when coloring because they can only make their name so long with colors included.. and also some players names are longer than the limit with even 1 color in front. I think maybe another 10-15 characters can be sufficient, but i see no reason to why this wont be done, except maybe /nick 236ybqnjwgb as some sort of abuse/spam, but whats stopping players from doing that already?

    i know that can be annoying but rather than adding more characters to the limit they should just try to come up with a way to make it not count those color codes.

    But adding a longer limit would be a short term fix ;p

    I guess the main issue would be random number abuse and maybe having your nick super long and out into the chat? I really don't know what would be the issue with this, as player usernames can be long as well. So, support, although this won't really affect me.

    I know that some players will do that, but as i said before, whats stopping them already from doing it, they know they will be banned for nick abuse.

    I know. That's the reason I said support :p I was trying to think of good reasons not to, I really was, but it seems pretty harmless. XD

    Support Really good idea even though I'm a non-donor that would be useful for donors

    The nickname character length isnt set by the server its a minecraft client restriction
    There is nothing that can be done about it
