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

Colors. Formatting. Animations. Your name, your style.
⚠️ Project is in an early alpha! Expect some bugs. ⚠️
🎨 Pick your color, any color
🟦 Solid — RGB sliders + live hex input. Fine tune your color to your liking.
🌈 Rainbow — Animated, cycling through every color.
🎨 Gradient — Two colors blended together.
✍️ Make it highlighted
Stack any combination of:
Bold · Italic · Underline · Strikethrough
Yes, you can select all four at once.

Pick one animation, stack a few together, or enable them all. It's entirely up to you.
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.
