Why have a boring white name when you could have this?

Descriptive in Action

Colors. Formatting. Animations. Your name, your style.

⚠️ Project is now in Beta! Expect some bugs. ⚠️


🎨 Pick your color, any color

🟦 Solid — RGB sliders + live hex input. Fine tune your color to your liking.

🌈 Rainbow — Animated, cycling through every color.

🎨 Gradient — Two colors blended together.


✍️ Make it highlighted

Stack any combination of:

Bold · Italic · Underline · Strikethrough

Yes, you can select all four at once.


🎬 Add some movement

Animation How it looks
🏀 Bounce Bounce Animation
🌊 Wave Wave Animation
Glitch Glitch Animation
🕰️ Pendulum Pendelum Animation
💓 Pulse Pulse Animation
😵 Shake Shake Animation
🎷 Swing Swing Animation
🌀 Turbulence Turbulence Animation
〰️ Wiggle Wiggle Animation
🌅 Fade Fade Animation

Pick one animation, stack a few together, or enable them all. It's entirely up to you.

Fine-tune how fast everything plays with the speed slider. Anywhere from a 0.1× speed to an unhinged 5.0× speed.


✅ Works in Multiplayer

Here's how it works:

  • Server has Descriptive installed — your styled name is shown to everyone automatically, no extra setup needed.
  • Vanilla or unmodded server — Descriptive will ask if you want to connect to an external relay server so other Descriptive users can still see your name. This connection is opt-in, you can enable this function in the Descriptive Settings > Toggle Relay... Menu.
