Minecraft Nickname Validator

This validator is created specifically for my server but can be used universally if you please.

It does not support formatting beyond color codes and will tell you your nickname is bad if it's greater than 20 characters.

How to Nick Yourself

To set a custom nickname and use HEX color codes you must link your Minecraft account to the discord.
However, everyone can use their username and the default Minecraft color codes.
Both Minecraft and HEX color codes must be prefaced with an & symbol.
The command is as follows:
/nick &5CaptainKirk55
will make CaptainKirk55's nickname look like
CaptainKirk55
An example using HEX codes would look like this:
/nick &#FF80AACaptainKirk55
will make CaptainKirk55's nickname look like
CaptainKirk55
An example of setting a fake name with multiple color codes will look like:
/nick &5ThisIsMy&#FF80AAName
will change your nickname to
ThisIsMyName
Your fake name can be whatever you want*, as long as it is less than 20 characters.
It can also only be letters, numbers, and underscores.
*If your name is against the rules or impersonation you may be asked to change it.
Again, you must link your discord to be able to use HEX codes or change your name to a fake name.
