Like animations? Like cool nicknames? Like them free too?
Then you’ll love Animated Nicknames Lite<\/font>.<\/div>\n<\/h2>\n

———————-
\n<\/p>\n

After having sold Animated Nicknames for a while, I’ve decided to make a free Lite version with less features. If you like it, consider buying the full version to also unlock the paid features.<\/b><\/div>\n

Animated Nicknames<\/font><\/b> is a plugin which adds style to your in-game name by adding nice animations both in the player list (tab) and above your head! Just look at this one:<\/div>\n
\"Rainbow<\/div>\n
And guess what, the menus are simple and easy to navigate! Just look at this!<\/div>\n

\n
Features<\/font><\/div>\n<\/h2>\n
Cool animated and coloured nicknames both in the player list and above your head!<\/b><\/div>\n
The animated nicknames will only show above your head if enabled in the config.<\/font><\/sub><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Shadows under your name to make your animations (or just your name) stand out more!<\/b><\/div>\n
Just open the shadows menu and let the colours speak to you!<\/font><\/sub><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Menus that are simple and easy to navigate!<\/b><\/div>\n
Clicking through options has never been easier.<\/font><\/sub><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Preview your animations in the menu!<\/b><\/div>\n
You can see them in advance, in case you don’t want to show your friends an ugly one!<\/font><\/sub><\/div>\n
