Can't see custom name.

How do I make it so you can't see the custom name of a mob. I thought it could be .setCustomNameVisible(false) but it didn't work. Can anyone help?

you can't do this (maybe on it slightest with packets/nms), since clients automatic render it.
edit if you mean in the direction of setCustomNameVisible(false); and then for compairing with getCustomName();

however why do you want to hide the name?, if you want to put some data in the entity you may want to use:

Code:

setMetadata("yourname", new FixedMetadataValue(plugin, "something nonsense"));

and then just do in other events:

Code:

if(entity.hasMetadata("yourname")) {
      //we got him
}

however keep in mind when you restart the server or reload it this metadata is probably gone.

xize What would go under the "yourname" and "something nonsense"

it actually works as a sort of HashMap so yourname will be the key and "something nonsense" just as something nonsense since I think you only want to use the keys to verify whenever entity should be a bit different

I myself didn't found a other solution yet to ignore the value

 

1928i what you could do it make then spawn at a Location of your choice. then do this for instance.

Code:java

Mob m = (Mob) loc.getWorld().spawnEntity(loc1,
EntityType.YOUR_MOB);

They try set it's custom name.
