Chattyping
The plugin displays text messages above a player's head using virtual text_display entities created and managed via ProtocolLib network packets.
⬇ Download on Modrinth
The plugin uses ProtocolLib to send packets directly to clients that create and configure virtual text_display entities. These entities show text floating above the player and are mounted on the player via a MOUNT packet but do not exist as actual entities in the server world. This method avoids server-side entity overhead, reduces lag and plugin conflicts, and ensures that only players within a certain radius see the messages. The plugin also respects player states such as muted, vanished, or spectator mode, preventing message display in these cases.
