[Suggestion]: Allow spaces in names

[HyperSkys]

Feature Request

Allow spaces in names by putting name with a '-' will put a space in it so you can put words in it and you can change the skin with the other command anyways

Alternative Options

There isn't really much I can do at that time

Additional Context

No response

It would cause some compatibility issues with the server and existing plugins, so it's probably not worth it

[Badbird5907]

No it wouldn't you can do it in citizens and nobody has seen any problems with it

as well it would actually be a nice feature to add, would allow youtubers and content creators to have cool names, so if someone wanted to name the bot The Epic Destroyer Man it would 100% look pretty cool and as well you'd be able to add color codes to the name making the names colorful and as well

Doesn't citizens use packets instead of players? Or if they actually somehow spawn the PlayerEntity maybe they remove spaces in the name and modify the name using packets (if thats even possible)

I think its possible to modify it with packets https://wiki.vg/Protocol#Player_Info

Citizens build a string based on the arguments that you provide and sets the NPC's display name to the return value of StringBuilderObeject#toString()

Obeject

nice.

Obeject

nice.

turns out that citizens actually sets the name to something like CIT-<random str>, then spawns a hologram above their name (see https://github.com/Badbird-5907/AntiCombatLog/issues/6)

I have a litte workaround for you:

1. /team add something
2. Goto minecraftjson.com and type "/team modify something prefix %s" in the command field. Here you can type the bot name with spaces.
3. Now create the bot if you haven't done yet.
4. /team join something @e[name=botname]

Example:

1. /team add something
2. /team modify something prefix {"text":"This is a ","color":"#00FF91"}
3. I also added a color for the bot name with /team modify something color red
4. /bot create bot
5. /team join something @e[name=botname]

We could implement something like that with the teams object in the bukkit API but that isn't of highest priority yet.
