ScriptCraft Possible to place images or 3d objects floating alongside Steve?

Maybe this is more of a bukkit question than a ScriptCraft question. I have students wanting to do things like having an icon next to their character or a health meter or some kind of effect like sparkles.

The health meter is somewhat slow and difficult. They basically have to place wool blocks over their head, delete them when they move Steve over a block and then replace all the blocks in the new location. It's huge, ugly looking, slow and clunky.

Any way to have images appear? Or 3d objects that can kind of float within the minecraft grid?

Why not just use the game's built-in healthmeter?

@walterhiggins - are you referring to the hearts players see in survival mode? The issue is the other players can't see it. Or is there another healthmeter?

Hi Scott, I'm not sure if bukkit supports what you're looking for (as far as I can tell - it's geared towards server-side modifications). The functionality you're looking for (health-meters floating above each player, etc) may require client-side modifications. It's worth digging around the bukkit documentation and forums to see if it is supported by the bukkit API.
