Highly customizable nametags above players for all client versions

Report ModernTags?

What's New

  • Built-in update management. ModernTags can check for updates at startup and optionally download them automatically. Use /moderntags update to check and download manually, even when startup checks or automatic downloads are disabled. Downloads are placed in the server's update folder and installed when the server restarts.
  • Invisible player tags in spectator mode. Viewers in spectator mode (GM3) can now see invisible players' tags with the modern renderer, just like vanilla names. This brings the modern renderer in line with Minecraft and the legacy renderer. Invisible players' tags remain hidden from ordinary viewers.
  • Standard bStats metrics. Added basic usage statistics. To opt out, set enabled: false in the shared plugins/bStats/config.yml; there is no separate ModernTags setting.

New Configuration Options

updates:
  check: true
  auto-download: false

Startup checks are enabled by default. Set auto-download: true to download updates during startup checks; a server restart is still required to install them. The manual update command remains available in either mode, but is hidden from tab completion when automatic downloads are enabled.

Permission change: moderntags.admin replaces moderntags.reload and grants access to both configuration reloads and update downloads. Operators have it by default. If you granted the old permission manually, replace it with the new one.

Bug Fixes

  • No default name flash during reloads or death. Fixed the vanilla player name briefly appearing while the modern tag was being removed or recreated.
  • Spectators can see other spectators' tags. Fixed spectator tags being hidden from spectator viewers; they remain hidden from ordinary viewers.
  • Legacy formatting survives invisibility. Fixed prefixes and suffixes being missing after a reload while the player was invisible, including when invisibility later ended.
  • Hidden legacy tags stay hidden during updates. Shared text and formatting updates no longer reveal a tag to viewers from whom it was hidden.

Dependencies

  • Updated MyLib to 7d2ccd9fd9 for update management.
  • Added bStats 3.2.1.
