I don't have access to Minecraft on Linux at the moment, but that command line looks suspicious. Give this a try:
java -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -cp "$HOME/.minecraft/bin/*" -Djava.library.path="$HOME/.minecraft/bin/natives" net.minecraft.client.Minecraft "$USER"
If it still isn't working for you, knowing what does happen (error messages, lets you in but has wrong name, …) would be helpful for further troubleshooting. :-)
Edited: Work on Ubuntu 12.04 x32
*P.S.: after "$USER" you can also add "$PASSWORD" "$SERVER"

What to use
It is common to use /blockdata
for changing placed sign data. So, we will use it for now. The syntax of /blockdata
is /blockdata [x] [y] [z] [dataInJSON]
. Note that we use JSON formatting for text.
Basic for sign
To input a text with /blockdata
, we will use Text1
tag. To write "Hello World" into the first line of the sign, simply just do /blockdata [x] [y] [z] {Text1:"{\"text\":\"Hello World\"}"}
. The quotes is there for JSON formatting.
If you need multiple line to display, use either Text2
, Text3
or Text4
.
Coloring
There is a way to change color of the sign using the color
sub tag. There is a lot selection of color. Here is all of the available one:
- gold
- red
- dark_red
- yellow
- dark_purple
- light_purple
- aqua
- dark_aqua
- black
- white
- green
- dark_green
- blue
- dark_blue
For writing "Hello World" in aqua, you write
/blockdata [x] [y] [z] {Text1:"{\"text\":\"Hello World\",\"color\":\"aqua\"}"}
into a command block. It will change the sign with the first line saying "Hello World" on aqua.
Bold
For bold text, you use bold
sub-tag. This sub-tag is a boolean, meaning the value can be only true
or false
for example:
/blockdata [x] [y] [z] {Text1:"{\"text\":\"Hello World\",\"bold\":true}"}
will give you a sign with text "Hello World" with bold.
The real answer
Type this into a command block changing [x], [y], and [z] into the coords of the sign:
/blockdata [x] [y] [z] {Text1:"{\"text\":\"Place Block\",\"color\":\"dark_blue\",\"bold\":true}"}

Best Answer
Not sure if this still works but yes, you're right. Using
/scoreboard teams add {{YOUR TEAM NAME}}
& then/scoreboard teams option {{YOUR TEAM NAME}} color {{COLOR}}
should turn your name to your chosen color.If you're having trouble finding exact color names, I've grabbed a quick list of them from the minecraft wiki.
Enjoy!
By the way, the only place you would use
/nick
would be in a server that has the plugin.
