III. How do I change my name and register?
The command /nick [Your name here] will change your name. Alternatively if your using the java chat, there is a box that changes your nickname in the lower right corner.
Once you have the name you like type /ns register [e-mail] to register your name. Registering is important because someone could take your name, or pose as you.
After creating the account, every time you join you can login by typing /ns identify This will sign you in.
Make sure anything that is surrounded by brackets is changed. EX -> Fluffycat123
