Solved Over 16 length player names and custom text with no skin change? (Packets, Cheaty stuff)

I saw this on a popular server, i'm sure you know it:
As you can see: It has more than allowed text AND it has text infront of it aswell as spaces.

I already know how to change a player name with packets + reflection using despawn then a hacked spawn packet. But how can i have more than 16 chars and custom text with no skin effect?

Thanks.

I should add: i doubt that it uses TagAPI, tho i could be wrong.

Scoreboard.

 

Indeed it is the Scorboard team prefixes.

Well i'll be damned... Here i am making all kinds of "hacky" stuff and then it's done using the scoreboard API?! I feel stupid... Anyway thanks, guys.

 

I believe Hypixel does use TagAPI, although I could be wrong..

 

I believe they just switched to using scoreboard prefixes due to Mojang's recent antics.

 

Ah, alright, thanks for the info.

 

I know they just added those prefixes, I'm not sure if they used TagAPI before or not. I'm just assuming they did because they now have "full" prefixes that weren't possible with TagAPI and the timing seems to line up with Mojang's..."antics".

 

That and the fact I checked their plugin list a while back.
