It works as if you right clicked a player with a nametag! Unfortunately the plugin does not allow players to be on vanilla teams (`\/team`) since in order to hide the actual player nameplate all players must be in a team with the `nametagVisibility` option set to `never`. _You can work around this by setting the new team&#8217;s `nametagVisibility` to `never` as well._<\/p>\n<p>You can color or format names using the `&#038;` character instead of the usual `\u00a7` when using the `\/nametag set` command. You can still use the `&#038;` character by adding a backslash &#8220; before it. See more at Formatting Codes.<\/p>\n<p>All of the commands&#8217; syntaxes and the config&#8217;s parameters are at the bottom.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>You can set a player&#8217;s name using the `\/nametag` command:<\/p>\n<p>![\/nametag <copy|get|reset|set|toggle>](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/4172730a7ec0283318654f58fa0ff2177b8a2529_0.webp)<br \/>\n![\/nametag set name Gonkas77 &#038;a&#038;lHi there!](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/8d81b613f909a80473c776b917c65411e997add6_0.webp)<br \/>\n![Result of the previous action is a bold lime nametag above the player&#8217;s head with the text &#8220;Hi there!&#8221;.](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/f44a0fbcb6171e1086d335d2037deb70b23c96de_0.webp)<br \/>\n![The player&#8217;s name is also changed in the player list (tab).](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/f4d6397c9e86ee0b64d8093c12e2d77c9e962a1f_0.webp)<br \/>\n![The player&#8217;s name is also changed in chat.](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/5bb8d51829c9c87f4e58d33d245abed3db9ce79e_0.webp)<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>And you can change the plugin&#8217;s config during runtime using the `pntconfig` command:<\/p>\n<p>![\/pntconfig set enable-colors <false|true>](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/f6c4571fdd359c311bc25dbfca78678b5d03642a_0.webp)<br \/>\n![\/pntconfig set max-name-length <length>](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/81dcd7a5a7a88eed901949df6da84fb145409817_0.webp)<br \/>\n![\/pntconfig get valid-name-characters](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/0ba76deced78bb57626760af150e805aab58bec2_0.webp)<br \/>\n![\/pntconfig preset valid-name-characters <preset>](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/cached_images\/bff61405a7f8480e49876d17fe8a6420fa9e2aff_0.webp)<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>### Notes:<br \/>\n&#8211; Parameters surrounded by `<>` are mandatory command arguments<br \/>\n&#8211; Parameters surrounded by `[]` are optional command arguments<br \/>\n&#8211; `|` means &#8220;or&#8221;. So, `<get|set>` means you can input `get` or `set`.<\/p>\n<p>### Nametag command syntax:<br \/>\n&#8211; `\/nametag <copy|get|reset|set|toggle>` are the sub-commands<br \/>\n&#8211; `\/nametag copy <name|prefix|suffix><source_player><target_player>` will copy `source_player`&#8217;s name, prefix, or suffix onto `target_player`.<br \/>\n&#8211; `\/nametag get <name|prefix|suffix> [player]` will send the person who executed the command the `player`&#8217;s name, prefix, or suffix. If this command is executed without the `player` argument it will assume the `player` argument as the one who executed the command.<br \/>\n&#8211; `\/nametag reset <name|prefix|suffix> [player]` will reset the `player`&#8217;s name, prefix, or suffix. Meaning the prefix and the suffix will be removed and the name will be reset to the player&#8217;s IGN.<br \/>\n&#8211; `\/nametag set <name|prefix|suffix> <player> <text>` will set the `player`&#8217;s name, prefix, or suffix to `text`. By default, spaces are valid characters, which means anything after `<text>` will be treated as part of it (including the spaces).<br \/>\n&#8211; `\/nametag toggle [player]` will turn the nametag of `player` on\/off. Crouching or going invisible will not affect the nametag&#8217;s state until toggled back on.<\/p>\n<p>### Config command syntax:<br \/>\n&#8211; `\/pntconfig <get|preset|reset|set>` are the sub-commands<br \/>\n&#8211; `\/pntconfig get <config_option>` will send the person who executed the command the value stored for `config_option` in the config file. _The config file can be found in the `plugin` folder `PlayerNameTags`._<br \/>\n&#8211; `\/pntconfig preset <config_option> <preset>` will set the `config_option`&#8217;s value to the `preset` chosen.<br \/>\n&#8211; `\/pntconfig reset <config_option>` will set the `config_option`&#8217;s value to its default one.<br \/>\n&#8211; `\/pntconfig set <config_option> <value>` will set the `config_option`&#8217;s value to the `value` given.<\/p>\n<p>### Config options (in parenthesis are the types of values you can assign to it):<br \/>\n&#8211; `enable-colors` allows nameplates to be colored! _(Boolean)_<br \/>\n&#8211; `enable-formatting` allows nameplates to be bold, italic, underlined, obfuscated or strokethrough! _(Boolean)_<br \/>\n&#8211; `enable-plugin` sets the plugin as enabled or not. You can enable the plugin using the `\/pntconfig` command even if this is set to false. _(Boolean)_<br \/>\n&#8211; `max-name-length` determines how long a player&#8217;s **name** can be. Not the entire nametag, just their name. _(Number)_<br \/>\n&#8211; `max-prefix-length` determines how long a player&#8217;s prefix can be. _(Number)_<br \/>\n&#8211; `max-suffix-length` determines how long a player&#8217;s suffix can be. _(Number)_<br \/>\n&#8211; `valid-name-characters` determines which characters names, prefixes, and suffixes can be made of. _(Characters)_<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>In the future, I plan on adding &#8220;titles&#8221; to players above or below their nametags, functioning similarly to a prefix or suffix. Before that, however, I&#8217;d have to revamp the plugin which should take some time.<\/p>\n<p>**Feel free to use this plugin on any server.**<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This plugin allows server admins to change any player&#8217;s nameplate, color it, and make it bold!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":122786,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"playernametags","_minecraft_project_id":"ZBkM1rHg","_minecraft_author":"Gonkas","_minecraft_license":"CC-BY-4.0","_minecraft_downloads":1556,"_minecraft_follows":4,"_minecraft_client_side":"unsupported","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"playernametags.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":68400,"_minecraft_version_count":2,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-16T07:06:04.591220Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2025-04-06T00:20:02.202156Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2025-09-27T20:25:31.340437Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/playernametags","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":122786,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-07T05:18:08+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"4b4d7fc07dffe63b2999c7de1f01c251","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[127,867,92],"mod_loader":[132],"minecraft_version":[62,37,73,74,38,78,79,80,81],"class_list":["post-122785","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-paper","mod_category-social","mod_category-utility","mod_loader-paper","minecraft_version-1-21","minecraft_version-1-21-1","minecraft_version-1-21-2","minecraft_version-1-21-3","minecraft_version-1-21-4","minecraft_version-1-21-5","minecraft_version-1-21-6","minecraft_version-1-21-7","minecraft_version-1-21-8"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
