How do I get the current entity(player)'s username?

Hi there,

I am making a Minecraft mod, and I have a certain item. I want it to be that when something happens, it will set a variable to the player holding the item's username. Tons of blocks can find out the player's username, but none can tell me it, or set it to a variable. Can you please help? I am using the latest version of MCreator, and the variable type is a string. Please help!

From,

This is not possible yet. You can open a feature request on our issue tracker to get this implemented in the future.

I know this is an old thread, but for those who are also searching for how to do it, as of 2020.2, you can use the 'Get display name of provided entity' block.
