As of 1.5, you can rename a mob egg, throw it down and the spawned mob will have a name. Is there any kind of API implemented for changing mob's names yet? I haven't seen anything on the Bukkit API Javadoc. Edit: Looks like I found it! LivingEntity.class has Code: public abstract void setCustomName(String paramString); public abstract String getCustomName(); public abstract void setCustomNameVisible(boolean paramBoolean); public abstract boolean isCustomNameVisible();
Wow... I had all this working last night editing the mobs nbt tags. I didn't even think to check for api because they're typically so slow... lol
