Bukkit

About

DispNameChanger is a plugin that lets you easily change your display name or any other player's display name. In the current context of Bukkit, that means the username that is displayed on death, when you talk, etc etc etc. Optionally, if Spout* or TagAPI** is installed on the server, this plugin will change the display name above a users head.

*Do note that the Spout Client, SpoutCraft, is required to see this change.

**TagAPI has some restrictions in how it works in changing the display name. Please see the TagAPI page for limitations.

IMPORTANT If you would like help with the plugin that is perfectly fine. However, to assist everyone better, please open a ticket if you believe there is a bug. If you would like support for another plugin, or a feature suggestion, also please open up a ticket. I can not properly support everyone in the comments section. Everyone is also free to post questions in the forum. I generally get back to people within 1 day. If I'm not answering questions in the forum, or on the main page, please feel free to highlight me on the bukkit forums; same username.
