    Pretty simple, I want nametags to be always visible on mobs. I'm spawning zombies/skeletons and whatnot from a commandblock, and I want their names to be permanently visible.



    Also, does anyone know what dmg indicators plugin this is:

    @Goatii If you're spawning them from a command block, try {CustomNameVisible:1}. If that doesn't work, no plugin can help you.

    that doesn't work in 1.8, but I believe having a named armourstand (armourstand names work) spawned inside a mob and moving with it could work?

    The Wynncraft server is 1.8, and it has this plugin!

    @Goatii Never seen Wynncraft before, don't know what they are, but it would look really glitchy - most games run at 60fps, whereas the armorstand would move at 20fps.

    @pie_flavor here is a video of it, you can see at the start that the villagers have the names visible. Mine are hidden if I'm too far away/not looking at the mob.


    I'm basically trying to replicate that server into my own so I can create quests for it.

    It is possible to do it with armorstands.
    Maybe set the velocity and direction for the armorstand?

    Setting the velocity can only be used in code sadly...
    It is the gravity and direction of the mob...

    @Goatii He is offering it as an instruction for our plugins, not for your command blocks.

    "for our plugins" - Do you have a plugin that does this?

    Why not set the Armour Stand to ride on the entity ?

    @Chloe-chan That's a good idea. Maybe a baby armor stand so the nametag isn't really far above it.

    Wynncraft uses holos for its npc names. There is no way to do this unless you are on 1.7.x. Mojang corrected the visual bug in 1.8 clients that's why mob names are visual when you are looking at it directly.

    Edit: Sorry, they are using protocols hack of spigot. Which allows 1.8 to connect but the server is still 1.7

    This works, but how do you use custom things on that villager? How do you kill the armourstand when the mob dies? And can you make the tag a little bit lower?

    This is the command I'm using to summon my baby zombie.
    summon command (open)
    /summon Zombie ~ ~1 ~ {CustomName:"&cGlass Imp &6[Lv. 75]",CustomNameVisible:1,CanPickUpLoot:0b,Attributes:[{Name:"generic.maxHealth",Base:5000},{Name:"generic.followRange",Base:10},{Name:"generic.knockbackResistance",Base:0.5f},{Name:"generic.movementSpeed",Base:0.3f},{Name:"generic.attackDamage",Base:8}],Silent:0,Invulnerable:0,IsBaby:1,CanBreakDoors:0,Equipment:[{id:"minecraft:quartz_stairs"},{},{},{},{id:"minecraft:glass",tag:{display:{Name:"&fGlass",Lore:["&7Misc. Item"]}},Count:1}],DropChances:[0F,0F,0F,0F,2F]}


    Also - I'm on 1.8.8 cb and it still doesn't work? problem?



    They have 1.8 blocks, so its impossible for them to be on 1.7..

    @madtomic those things are unrelated and neither one solves this problem

    You either use 1.7 client or there is no way to solve this.

    You can use MythicMobs to do this.

    Spawn mobs with any attribute, drop and name.

    I'll try it now.

    Edit: It does not work. The names still disappear when you look away/are too far away

    Do you know how to kill a armourstand when the mob dies?

    @Goatii Add a custom something to the armor stand that none of the other ones have. Constantly kill all armor stands that have the custom something that aren't riding anything. Maybe do scoreboards for the custom bit.

    No clue how to do this - I suck with commandblocks ): Halp me!

    btw is posting server ips on here allowed? Then I can give you ip and you can come help?
    EDIT by Timtower: That would count as advertising.
    Ok, thanks! :D

    Also pie, how do you put my zombie into that command instead of the villager??





    EDIT: CHANGED THE OP WITH ANOTHER QUESTION!
