hey

 

i might sound like a idiot for posting this; How do i add potion and particle effects to a persons username in 1.8

 

P.S. I Would prefer to use a list in dropbox but if there is any other way, i'm happy with that

First of all... how do you add potion effects and particles to a username?!

ichun does it with his patreon users in ichunutil

iChun uses UUID's

https://github.com/iChun/iChunUtil/blob/79db170e6e18462f72ccd2a2dfbbdec00de5ae54/src/main/resources/assets/ichunutil/mod/patrons.json

 

Check if a player is online with any UUID's stored in a list, if they are, add the potion effect.

 

Edit: I believe what he does is check when the client launches the game if the player logged in is a patron, if so it sets a variable to true. When they join a server it sends a packet to the server saying "This UUID is a patron" storing it in a list, so it knows who to give the effects to.

I don't know what you mean by that. Do you mean that the player constantly has those particles and potion effects?

yes
