Changing PlayerTag without skin being changed

Does anyone know how to change the tag above a players head without changing their skin? I've seen it done, and need some help. Please help me thanks!

 

its actually impossible because the skin is client side and so is the rendering of the name so when it renders the name it also renders the skin because to change the name you have to send a packet to the client saying a named entity has spawned and that named entity is a pre-existing player when the client recieves that packet it knows that players name so it can get the skin when it needs to render that specific player.

 

Well the server NewLiberty has done this. And so has the mcpvp. So there is a way, do you know any examples of code I could go off of?

 

When I use tagapi, nothing changes but the tag...

 

rlly? i kinda fail to see how that is possible?
unless the client never updated the skin.
cos afaik tagAPI uses namedentityspawn packets.

 

I used tagAPI it changed the skin instead and the name. Is there special method in TagAPI to prevent skin changing?

 

nope skin is client side 100% sure.

 

Go in to the NewLiberty server, I promise this can be done. It's just hard.

 

Feed me screenshots...

 

See look here Im in the NewLiberty Server and it is being done.

 

no you cant srsly look at the mc source code you will see that im right.

cos only the color is changed not the name?

Heres some more pictures



I know I've made Minecraft mods,

I know, I've programmed minecraft mods, I've seen that line of code you put in before, but it can be done server side. And Im trying to figure it out. Im sure its packeting but I suck at packeting

still thats just color color change doesnt affect skin.
only name changing.

It is easy to change the player tag and keep the skin if you're only changing the colour

It's just if you change the actual name it gets complicated

Check out Tag API

 

im sure it cant be done i would post mc source but unfortunately that would be illegal.

 

Hey MrBluebear3 how do I do it with just changing the players color above their head and keep the skin? I've used TagAPI this is what I have

Code:

    @EventHandler
    public void onNameTag(PlayerReceiveNameTagEvent event) {
    if (event.getNamedPlayer().getName().equals("milkymilkway")) {
    event.setTag(ChatColor.RED + "milkymilkway");
    }
    }

But it changes my skin to steve, how do I keep it from changing the skin?

 

That's weird, it shouldn't do

It worked fine for me...

You're not using an older Minecraft version are you?

 

that shouldnt be happening.
maybe the clients are getting the skin as.

Nope Im using 1.4.6, and my friend says I look like steve.

 

u sure your friend not be trollin?

 

Try it with him :/

You never know, it might work

 

Works now

I had to do ChatColor.RED

That's what you did in the above code?

 

I always use ChatColor.RED + event.getNamedPlayer().getName() just so I don't accidentally mistype the name
