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
@semirotta
yeah, something like that
@MylesC
I use worldguard and i have no idea how to do that.
is it just
/region flag REGION blocked-cmds /mobname
@semirotta
My advice, Use worldguard and prevent the rename command in the area.
Any idea of adding the possibility of changing all spawned and spawning mobs names?
for example: every single sheep would be named as "Fluffy Buff" and Zombies could be "Brainiac".
I would love to have it if just possible.
Also question:
My spawn has shops which includes Villagers from Shopkeepers plugin. . . Players can change their names with this plugin, how to prevent that?
@GummieBear47
There's a plugin called MobManager which already does this.
This is the closest plugin to what I was looking for, thank you! However, I hope you consider adding configuration options that allow mobs to spawn naturally with names defined in config per mob type. With a customized percent chance. So not every mob is named. I would love you so much :D. But regardless, thank you for this plugin.
@Disolia
Added to todo list!
Is it possible to make it that only people with a permission, can give mobs coloured names?
@diannetea
Thanks, fixed in next version!
@Varijon
Added in next version!
@DekuHero
Will do!
the command /mobname doesn't work, but /name, /mn, and /mname do
Just wanted to let you know ;)
Hi,
Just passing by, I just found out the painful way that mobs with a name longer than 64 characters cause instant client disconnects upon loading chunk. (needed a world rollback)
Would be cool to add a check for length if you haven't already?
My problem came from renaming a mobegg (via a plugin) with too long of a name and using it.
I added this to my server, it has 0 errors/works great and its fun.
I hope you keep up with this so I can keep it on the server forever.
