Chat names.

[ExKing]

So I was thinking about something new. When you press tab you just see white names.. So you should make it so it shows the colour of the rank you have . So it says I am diamond and it shows green for normal people. Iron/GOld/Diamond for donators and it goes on..

There was a problem with this on TIMV where the colors would crop off the names, this caused an error when it read my name as The_Arena_Mast
Because of this, my skin was a steve.
So, plznoifan :c

I'm not against this, but I think it would cause a lot more targeting and it would also cause mods to be noticed a lot easier using tab, which is normally something they want to avoid. Of course, when they say something in chat it's revealed, but sometimes there is no need for that and if people know a mod is in a game that mod will be dead fast most of the time.
Same goes for VIP's and friends.

I think this is a good idea, the only problems with this have already been stated by HalfSquirrel and the_arena_master. There is a command that staff are able to do a command that will make it so they will not look like staff colours but it is being fixed at the moment. People have been saying that VIP's, Friend's and staff would get targeted more but I wont think that would happen as alot of people when they join the servers they do /list to see who is online.

At least for the hub So it looks nicer.

Not a bad idea, but due to the way Minecraft works, it's not the most practical solution.

Just a little bit of technical detail - Minecraft has a 16 character limit on most of the strings in the protocol, such as player names, inventory names, etc. Each color code takes 2 characters. This would mean that for a normal player, their name would be cut off by 2 characters if it was 16 characters (as The Arena Master made the example, his name would appear as The_Arena_Mast); an admin's name would be cut off by 4 characters due to the color code of bold as well (so Bic's name would appear as Bicentennial); and a developer's name would require 4 extra color code characters per character, 2 for each color of the rainbow and 2 for each bold (meaning, for example, my name would appear simply as "Fo").

Damn.. I would like it on the hub because sometimes when I need a staff member I don't know if anyone is in the server and it's kind of boring but okay then.

Do /list and use Page Up/Page Down on your keyboard (or just scroll on your mouse) to scroll through; that's what I do

When there are thousands of people on the server it doesn't work because it takes up the whole chat I think and cuts off some names.
