Note: This plugin only works with 1.5+ Bukkit builds!

In 1.5 the ability to have custom names for mobs was introduced, this plugin makes it easy to add custom mob names to any mob!

So we decided, Hey let's make it easy to change the name of any mob.

What are the permission nodes?

Use mobname.rename to give permission to a username to rename a mob or just give them op!

If I change it from bukkit to vanilla does it still work?

Of course, it uses NBT structure meaning it works perfect in vanilla!

Any shorter ways of doing the commands?

Yep, you can use /mname or /mn for shorter commands to rename
