[Feature Request] Additional options for displayed villager names

I have the following suggestions for villager names when displayed:

  • An option to display Professions in a separate line underneath names
    Example:
    [NAME] [SURNAME]
    [PROFESSION]
    Instead of
    [NAME] [SURNAME] the [PROFESSION]

  • An option to remove (or customize) the word(s) between [NAME] and [PROFESSION]
    Examples:
    [NAME] [SURNAME] [PROFESSION],
    [NAME] [SURNAME], [PROFESSION],
    [NAME] [SURNAME] - [PROFESSION]

  • An option to include Villager profession levels (Novice, Apprentice, Journeyman, Expert, Master) in their displayed names
    Example:
    [NAME] [SURNAME], the [LEVEL] [PROFESSION]
    OR, when combined with the first suggestion above:
    [NAME] [SURNAME]
    [LEVEL]
    [PROFESSION]
    or
    [NAME] [SURNAME]
    [LEVEL] [PROFESSION]

What do you think? Personally I believe all of these would be great implementations.

I think these are all nice suggestions. I currently have finals at the moment and cannot do this yet, but will implement soon.

  1. The only problem with this first suggestion is that it would require the mod to be installed on the client as well as the server so you could manually render the Text as a seperate line, but there might be another way to add new text as a line manually that i'll look for

The last 2 could also be worked on too and I might add them as part of a rewrite I'm doing for the mod

Thanks for submitting a feature request though, I'll be sure to at least add the last 2 and then try to investigate the first one more

I think the best thing to do is let the user configure exactly how they want the name to be displayed. I talked it over with Yumatan the other day, and we thought that you could do something like [NAME] [LASTNAME] the [PROFESSION] and the mod would replace these values with the real ones. This would allow the user to customize it.
