    Increase the maximum character limit of custom pet names. Anyone paying real money for a rank shouldn't be limited by only sixteen characters, which is only enough for simple names consisting of a couple words.

    Interesting suggestion, if it were to maybe 24 character I think that could be a good change. I don't know how integer limits affect names, though.

    How long can I name a Wybel in Wynncraft?

    A string is an array of characters which have a theoretical limit of 32 bits or -2 to 2 billion limit*, but unfortunately you would run out of memory quickly if this was the case, so I guess that answers (loop back to beginning of short)

    *in Java

    Give 144 characters so you can write out a full tweet...

    ...in all seriousness, I think there's probably some specific reason why nametags are so limited. A big one would be that Minecraft nametags are a single line (I don't know if modern datapack tools let them be multi-line), so if it gets too large, it'll occupy a lot of the screen and the text will start shrinking.

    Is there a BigString class in a similar vein to BigInteger?
    Edit: Checked the oracle docs and no- you can not have the largest string your ram could phyiscally allow

    Cuz strings are just an array of characters which have a max capacity of the integer limit, which cannot be negative I believe
