Why have a boring white name when you could have this?

Colors. Formatting. Animations. Your name, your style.
⚠️ Project is now in Beta! Expect some bugs. ⚠️
🎨 Pick your color, any color

Fine-tune how fast everything plays with the speed slider. Anywhere from a 0.1× speed to an unhinged 5.0× speed.
✅ Works in Multiplayer
Here's how it works:
- Server has Descriptive installed — your styled name is shown to everyone automatically, no extra setup needed.
- Vanilla or unmodded server — Descriptive will ask if you want to connect to an external relay server so other Descriptive users can still see your name. This connection is opt-in, you can enable this function in the Descriptive Settings > Toggle Relay... Menu.
