CustomPlayerNametags
A Paper plugin that lets you fully customize player nametags. Includes global formats, individual player formats, PlaceholderAPI support, and Bedrock compatibility.
What it does
Fully custom nametags
Replace the entire vanilla player nametag display entirely with a custom format using PlaceholderAPI placeholders.
Global + individual player formats
Set one global nametag-format as a default format for the whole server. Additionally set custom formats for individual players.
Requirements
| Dependency | Role | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| PacketEvents required | Core packet handling | Allows editing nametag packets— the plugin will not work without it. |
| PlaceholderAPI strongly advised | Placeholder resolution | Not required for the plugin to load, but all %placeholder% values in any nametag formats will not be resolved without it. |
