MobName
Note: This plugin only works with 1.5+ Bukkit builds!
In 1.5 the ability to have custom names for mobs was introduced, this plugin makes it easy to add custom mob names to any mob!
So we decided, Hey let's make it easy to change the name of any mob.

How do I change a mobs name?
Simply look at a mob ingame and type: /mobname Test to change the name Need to turn off the mob name? type: /mobname off while looking at the mob!
Do you support colours?
Yep, Simply do any of the colour codes displayed on http:www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Formatting_codes in the format &c to colour the name!

What are the permission nodes?
Use mobname.rename to give permission to a username to rename a mob or just give them op!
If I change it from bukkit to vanilla does it still work?
Of course, it uses NBT structure meaning it works perfect in vanilla!
Any shorter ways of doing the commands?
Yep, you can use /mname or /mn for shorter commands to rename

Is this compatible with citizens? From what I see it works awesome when I try to rename my NPC's but after a server restart or even a reload everything i had done with the plugin disappears .

There isn't one :(
@Mariskaaa
At this point intime you could worldguard the area and add a flag for blocked-cmds (Google is your friend)

Posted Aug 19, 2013Hello :) Nice plugin! I'm using it on my server right now! But... I want that everybody in my server can use this plugin, so I gave them permission. But now they can name my cats too.. I don't want them to name my cats. I think it's okay for them to name other animals, but not my cats. Can you make an option to disable this ? Thanks for reading anyways. :) Sorry for my bad English, I'm Dutch :/

Ok, just wondering coz it kind a should claim the chunks because otherwise the animal/mob would de-spawn? I honestly cant say for sure .

Posted Jul 29, 2013Q:
Does named mobs keep the chunks loaded?
29.07 15:50:09 [Server] INFO The End "world_the_end": 936 chunks, 98 entities.
29.07 15:50:09 [Server] INFO Nether "world_nether": 627 chunks, 0 entities.
29.07 15:50:09 [Server] INFO World "world": 1,809 chunks, 360 entities.
29.07 15:50:09 [Server] INFO Free memory: 893 MB.
29.07 15:50:09 [Server] INFO Allocated memory: 1,272 MB.
29.07 15:50:09 [Server] INFO Maximum memory: 1,365 MB.
29.07 15:50:09 [Server] INFO Current TPS = 20
29.07 15:50:09 [Server] INFO Uptime: 1 minute 36 seconds
Just wondering because 1,809 chunks in World and end / nether has some too. I dunno what the chunks really re-present here.

Posted Jul 24, 2013Suggestion:
Make nametags not possible to get ?
No point basically of having this if people may just get name tags :)

@MylesC
Perhaps make /mobname clear <radius>, would be much better. If you put -1 as radius , it would be whole world you're in.

Posted Jul 4, 2013Can you make a function that you can clear all the mob names? Maybe defaults only to OP?
/mobname clear or something like that?
