            <title>[MC-10125] People can&apos;t see my skin because my username is too long. (Sounds weird, but true)</title>
                <link>https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-10125</link>
                <project id="10400" key="MC">Minecraft: Java Edition</project>
                    <description>&lt;p&gt;When I&apos;m on certain servers, my friend, caboj8, says he can&apos;t see my skin, even though I can see it on me.  I started typing to people asking if they can see my skin, but they tell me I look like Steve.  I looked at some other people who have their names cut off like mine (probably because it is too long) and I can&apos;t see their skin either, they look like Steve.  Everybody who has a short name has a custom skin, not sure if this has to do with anything, but maybe.  Please Help if it is not a bug.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

My username is 16 characters long, and only I see my skin on my screen. But for some reason, there&apos;s one server where everyone sees my skin. A few of my friends have the same problem. Hopefully there&apos;ll be a Name-Changing update, or at least some bug fix for this. I love making and wearing skins, but it&apos;s a shame for only one person to see them.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>

I appear to get this when certain color codes are introduced. However, there are other times where my name can have color codes. I stated why the issue occurs in the comment above, so there no need to explain further, but i believe the only way this bug can be fixed is if the devs change something with the nametags or color codes.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>

I think the game takes that as making me robotchicken33 in the skin server instead of robotchicken337&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="98130" author="thecrazycrafter5" created="Sun, 11 Aug 2013 02:52:38 +0200"  >&lt;p&gt;Yes, whenever you add color codes, for example: &quot;&amp;amp;3&quot; to a username, it takes uses up two username slots, thus forcing a skin from that name. In my case it&apos;s a steve, but there has been a time where I was forced to use a joker skin as well. My IGN is &quot;TheCrazyCrafter5&quot;, so color codes remove two slots from my name, because the maximum is 16, resulting in &quot;TheCrazyCrafte&quot; with a default skin(It&apos;s really annoying). If you could somehow add extra slots for color codes, I, and i&apos;m sure many other, would be so happy. This issue seems trivial, but as an avid Minecraft Multiplayer, it&apos;s sad to have people call you a noob, based solely off your skin and be more swayed to assume you&apos;re a hacker, since i&apos;m also a generally good player. Thanks for your time... &lt;img class=&quot;emoticon&quot; src=&quot;https://bugs.mojang.com/images/icons/emoticons/sad.png&quot; height=&quot;16&quot; width=&quot;16&quot; align=&quot;absmiddle&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</comment>

                            <comment id="67917" author="mgt98" created="Thu, 23 May 2013 01:49:35 +0200"  >&lt;p&gt;To the moderators, is it okay if this is opened again? Having issues with this myself. My username is &apos;too long&apos; to show my skin. On the TAB list and above my head it doesn&apos;t show the 8. This happens on my vanilla server I host for a few friends and on Bukkit servers (example: mc.hypixel.net). On any server, I can see my skin but no one else can.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I spent a little while yesterday on servers looking for players with &quot;Steve?&quot; skins and long usernames - found a few. Using skins.minecraft.net I found that most of them do have skins. The skin server was up too.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I can post screenshots if needed.&lt;/p&gt;</comment>
                            <comment id="47331" author="kumasasa" created="Sun, 24 Feb 2013 03:06:44 +0100"  >&lt;p&gt;In fact there is a limit while decoding the server packet:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;code panel&quot; style=&quot;border-width: 1px;&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;codeHeader panelHeader&quot; style=&quot;border-bottom-width: 1px;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Packet20NamedEntitySpawn&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;codeContent panelContent&quot;&gt;
&lt;pre class=&quot;code-java&quot;&gt;    &lt;span class=&quot;code-keyword&quot;&gt;public&lt;/span&gt; void readPacketData(DataInputStream par1DataInputStream) &lt;span class=&quot;code-keyword&quot;&gt;throws&lt;/span&gt; IOException
    {
...
        &lt;span class=&quot;code-keyword&quot;&gt;this&lt;/span&gt;.name = readString(par1DataInputStream, 16);
...
    }
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But both names are &lt;b&gt;not longer&lt;/b&gt; than 16 characters:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;code panel&quot; style=&quot;border-width: 1px;&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;codeContent panelContent&quot;&gt;
