Name Lib

What is it?

Name Lib is a library that gets the username of any player for you to use.

How to use it?

Simply run function name_lib:get_name as the player you want the name of, the datapack outputs this to the storage name_lib:main name

Why use Name Lib?

In mineraft there is no single command to get a player name, so this small datapack adds one.
