Simple as the tittle asks. I know there are several posts of users in '15 and '16 asking the same question, but Sponge has grown so much in such short time and it’s '17 now. I know it’s possible to at least modify the color of user’s display names with other Minecraft APIs because I’ve seen it, but I’m wondering it Sponge has worked on this yet.
Do you mean like nicknames? If so, yes, it’s used in many plugins.
I was referring to the DisplaySlots.BELOW_NAME slot, sorry.
DisplaySlots.BELOW_NAME
Is a scoreboard objective display method. It does not actually change the display name of the player. But displays a text title under the players name.
Are you sure you mean this? Or do you want to change the players name that is displayed above the players head?
Well, I was originally hoping to be able to make the DisplaySlots.BELOW_NAME slot under each user visible to other players because I coudn’t change the user’s name that is displayed above their heads. If changing player’s names above their heads and make that change visible to other players is possible, I’D LOVE THAT.
Right. What your asking for there is client only data. (Seems to be a running theme). Essentially you would create a plugin that sends a Human entity to the client that has the same actions as the real player its essentially taking control over. The client side does not see the real player only the human with the custom name.
This is/was being worked on. Ill try to find the pull request so you can get updates from the source itself
