A: No. This plugin creates fake scoreboard teams with packets.
A: Due to how scoreboards were implemented in Minecraft, a player cannot belong to two teams. Any two plugins that use packets or the Bukkit API which alter team prefixes/suffixes will have conflicts. There is currently no way around this.
A: LongTags is only able to disable a longer nametag in the tablist. The name above your head has a different limit (16 characters for prefix and suffix.) We are unable to change this, as this limit is imposed by Mojang.
A: This is a well known bug in 1.8 Minecraft and below. The issue was fixed in 1.9. The issue occurs because of an ignored data watcher flag (which tells the client what to render, and what not to.) We are unable to fix this.
A: Yes. Read up on how to use it here
A: NametagEdit does not have anything to do with this process. The placeholder API is an interface, and requires OTHER plugins to function. Consult the documentation for your chosen plugin.
