## About

### The floating name tag, recreated

In Minecraft every player has a name tag hovering above their head — white or coloured text on a flat, semi-transparent black plate, with a signature offset shadow. Minecraft Nameplate Maker recreates that look: type a username, pick one of the 16 game colours, and it renders the plate and the drop-shadow exactly, sizing itself around your text.

### Ranks, colours and transparent export

Add a coloured rank prefix like [Admin] or [VIP] in its own colour, turn bold or italic on, and dial the plate opacity from invisible to a solid chip. It renders with Monocraft — a free, open-source Minecraft-style pixel font bundled right into the tool — so the text is pixel-perfect with nothing to install. Export a high-resolution 4× transparent PNG that drops onto a thumbnail, a server banner or a Discord post. Everything renders locally with nothing uploaded.

## FAQ

### How do I make a Minecraft nameplate?

Type a username, pick a colour from the 16 Minecraft colours, optionally add a coloured rank prefix like [Admin], adjust the plate opacity, then download a transparent PNG or SVG.

### Does it use the real Minecraft colours?

Yes. All 16 Minecraft chat colours (§0–§f, from black to white) are available for both the name and the rank prefix, and each glyph gets the game's signature offset shadow.

### Is the nameplate transparent?

Yes. It exports on a transparent background as a high-resolution 4× PNG, so it drops cleanly onto a thumbnail, banner or Discord post.

### Does it use a real Minecraft font?

It uses Monocraft, a free, open-source (OFL-licensed) Minecraft-style pixel font that's bundled with the tool and loads automatically — so the nameplate is pixel-perfect with nothing to install. The actual Minecraft font is Mojang's and can't be redistributed, so a faithful free equivalent is used.

### Is my data uploaded?

No. The nameplate is rendered locally in your browser with SVG. Nothing you type is uploaded, stored or sent to a server.
