Crosshair Name
by 1ahu
Crosshair Name shows a player's nametag as text under the crosshair, replacing the nametag above the player's head.
What it does
Crosshair Name is a NeoForge utility for 1.21.1 that moves the player nametag from above the head to a line of text under the crosshair. The text fades in and out with a short animation. Because the nametag above the head is removed, the mod changes how names look rather than what they say. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for NeoForge only, with 1.1.0 for 1.21.1 as the latest file, dated 2026-07-01. The mod is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license and is not open source.
Key features
Nametag under the crosshair
The name of the player being looked at appears as text under the crosshair.
Above-head nametag removed
The default nametag above each player's head is hidden, so names only show where the crosshair points.
Fade animation
Each nametag fades in and out with a short animation as the crosshair moves between players.

What the author says
This mod is highly vibe coded (im in the process of learning) so if you don't support AI just don't comment I won't answer. I will probably not update it, it was custom made for a server. MAYBE I will add a config UI for scaling and offset of the text using cloth config as a dependency but I don't know if that will…
