Entity Names in Scoreboards

When the scores of entities appear in the sidebar or other places, the names of the entities should be shown instead of the ID. Also, if the entity is renamed, the custom name should appear in place of the entity's name.

    I disagree that the default entity names ("Zombie", "Shulker", etc.) should be shown instead of the UUIDs, but custom entity names should absolutely be shown! So, in my mind, this is how it would work:

    • If the entity does not have a custom name set, display UUID
    • If the entity has a custom name set, display the custom name
    • For setting/changing entity scoreboard values, you would still have to use the UUID, which would be easier to see if the /scoreboard players get * <objective> worked
