PlayerNameTags

This plugin allows a server admin to set any online or offline player's nameplate to whatever they like! 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's nametagVisibility to never as well.

You can color or format names using the & character instead of the usual § when using the /nametag set command. You can still use the & character by adding a backslash \ before it. See more at Formatting Codes.

All of the commands' syntaxes and the config's parameters are at the bottom.

You can set a player's name using the /nametag command:

And you can change the plugin's config during runtime using the pntconfig command:

Notes:

• Parameters surrounded by <> are mandatory command arguments
• Parameters surrounded by [] are optional command arguments
• | means "or". So, <get|set> means you can input get or set.

Nametag command syntax:

• /nametag <copy|get|reset|set|toggle> are the sub-commands
• /nametag copy <name|prefix|suffix> <source_player> <target_player> will copy source_player's name, prefix, or suffix onto target_player.
• /nametag get <name|prefix|suffix> [player] will send the person who executed the command the player'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.
• /nametag reset <name|prefix|suffix> [player] will reset the player's name, prefix, or suffix. Meaning the prefix and the suffix will be removed and the name will be reset to the player's IGN.
• /nametag set <name|prefix|suffix> <player> <text> will set the player'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).
• /nametag toggle [player] will turn the nametag of player on/off. Crouching or going invisible will not affect the nametag's state until toggled back on.

Config command syntax:

• /pntconfig <get|preset|reset|set> are the sub-commands
• /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.
• /pntconfig preset <config_option> <preset> will set the config_option's value to the preset chosen.
• /pntconfig reset <config_option> will set the config_option's value to its default one.
• /pntconfig set <config_option> <value> will set the config_option's value to the value given.

Config options (in parenthesis are the types of values you can assign to it):

• enable-colors allows nameplates to be colored! (Boolean)
• enable-formatting allows nameplates to be bold, italic, underlined, obfuscated or strokethrough! (Boolean)
• 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)
• max-name-length determines how long a player's name can be. Not the entire nametag, just their name. (Number)
• max-prefix-length determines how long a player's prefix can be. (Number)
• max-suffix-length determines how long a player's suffix can be. (Number)
• valid-name-characters determines which characters names, prefixes, and suffixes can be made of. (Characters)

In the future, I plan on adding "titles" to players above or below their nametags, functioning similarly to a prefix or suffix. Before that, however, I'd have to revamp the plugin which should take some time.

Feel free to use this plugin on any server.
