Player Names

A lightweight mod introducing a simple yet powerful command for customising player and entity names

  • Easy to use with the /name command

📖 Syntax

  • name set <target> <name> Set the custom name of an entity.
  • name reset <target> Reset the custom name of an entity.

📦 Arguments
