QuickNick

The QuickNick mod provides a flexible system for setting nicknames on your server. You can configure it as a simple way to change names or create a more complex configuration depending on your needs.

What is PDC?

PDC (PersistentDataContainer) allows QuickNick to save user nicknames in their .dat files. However, this means that nickname synchronization between different servers is impossible when using this storage method.

What is SQL?

SQL represents a data storage system in a database that can be accessed from multiple servers. If you have multiple servers connected to the same SQL server, then nicknames can be synchronized between them.
