ArmorStands

As we all know Minecraft only shows custom names for entities when you have your cross hairs on them, Well to get the names to show like normal Minecraft name plates I decided to use armor stands.

However it doesn't seem to be actually spawning the armor stand and I'm really confused why

Code:

ArmorStand stand=entity.getLocation().getWorld().spawn(entity.getLocation(), ArmorStand.class);
        stand.setVisible(true);
        stand.setCustomName("Test");
        stand.setCustomNameVisible(true);
        stand.setGravity(false);
        entity.setPassenger(stand);

setGravity stops all velocity changes, and may interfere with the setPassager line. Try removing the setpassager line and seeing if the armourstand appears.

 

Tried that as well with no success.

Also tried using spawnEntity instead but there's still no armor stand.

The thing is, you don't have to do it in this roundabout way. Just set the "CustomNameVisible" NBT tag on the entity and you should be good to go.
