Custom Names
This mod lets you change what other players names look like. You can have different customization for every player. I recommend using ModMenu to access the config, but there is a JSON5 file in config/customnames.json5 if you want to do it manually. Mod Idea by ThatWon
Customization Options
Change a players name, Change a players name color, Add a prefix to a players name, and Add a suffix to a players name.
