Description:
Tired of nameless villagers wandering your world? VillagerNames is a lightweight, powerful plugin that immerses your players by automatically assigning a unique, customizable name to every villager on your server.
This plugin ensures no villager is left behind. Upon server startup, it automatically scans all existing villagers and names any that don't have one. Furthermore, any newly spawned villager (from breeding, spawn eggs, or curing) will be given a name instantly.
Features:
Automatic Naming: Automatically names villagers as soon as they spawn.
Retroactive Naming: Scans and names all existing, unnamed villagers in your worlds upon server startup.
Smart Naming System: Intelligently assigns names from your list, attempting to avoid duplicates until the entire name pool has been used.
Configurable Display: Use the config.yml to set the name color (e.g., GOLD, WHITE) and whether the name is always visible or only when targeted.
Admin Commands:
/vn reload:
Reload the configuration and the name list without a server restart.
/vn nameall:
Manually run the process to name all unnamed villagers in the world.
