NametagCustomizer
Take full control of what floats above every player's head.
NametagCustomizer replaces the vanilla nametag with fully customizable multi-line hologram displays.
Configure health bars, live chat messages, XP, ping, coordinates, and more — all from a single config file.
Features
| ● | Multi-line holograms that follow players in real time |
| ● | Dynamic placeholders refreshed every tick |
| ● | [MessageStatus] — last chat message floats above the player, wraps, then fades |
| ● | Vanilla nametag never leaks into chat or death messages |
| ● | Single clean config file |
