Mojang will be allowing name changes soon, but you should be aware of a few things before doing it if you care about progress you've made on the server.

Some things will be saved after the change, however a lot of things won't, including

  • Town ownership/positions
  • Perks
  • Titles
  • Forum/Commoner rank
  • Crystals
Everything else should be the same, however it's not guaranteed.

Also, note that if you have a perk/title and change names, it will not be possible to get those perks/titles under your new name.

"If I ban a player “Foo” and he changes name to “Bar”, will he stay banned?

Yes. Same for whitelisted players and oped players. They also keep their inventory, pets, statistics and everything they own on a server."

Why doesn't this apply here?

Not sure it it's the actual reason, but I assume it's because the inventory, pets, and statistics are a part of the actual game, while the towns, perks, titles, etc are via plugin

How will this work with mods? What about my custom stuff on this one modded server?
Ask your mod maker/server owner. Mods should be able to support this system easily and most already do, but we aren’t responsible for mods or servers!

Mods aren't the same as plugins I thought?
