Bug description

We'd like to use nicknames and limit them to modify chat messages - everything else, including command output, still uses the user's username. I suggest EssentialsXChat support a variable for playernickanem and change-displayname is not required to be true to use nicknames.

Steps to reproduce

Set change-displayname to false.
Try to use /nick

Expected behaviour

Can still set nickname. Nickname is only used if chat plugin (EssentialsXChat) uses variable named "{NICKNAME}" in the chat format config.

Actual behaviour

Cannot set nickname without changing displayname which affects multiple parts of the server.

Hi @bdagenais2

There is already the option to have {NICKNAME} in the chat formats.

There is already the option to have {NICKNAME} in the chat formats.

While {NICKNAME} is an existing chat format keyword, the /nick command prevents users from setting nicknames entirely if the change-displayname option is set to false in the config. Marking as feature request.

This would fix formatting in messages, like SocialSpy for example:
