Does anyone know of a plugin to make overhead display names of players disappear if they're more than x amount of blocks away? I would also like to do the same with chat.
Not sure if it is able to be done for distance without Spout. As for chat, you can use the plugins that support "/ch local" and just set everyone to the default of Local and not give them permission to join a different channel.
I just looked through Spout plugins on BukkitDev and nothing yet. I did see a chat one though the other day whose specific purpose was what I wanted it to do. I'll look for that one in a bit. Thanks!
