GolbNametags
GolbNametags is a Fabric client-side mod that changes how player nametags are drawn.
What it does
The mod draws the local player's own nametag in third-person view, which vanilla does not show, and it removes the background opacity behind nametags so the text stays fully readable. Only the client needs it; servers run without it. Builds target 1.21.4 only, and the code is not open source.
Key features
Own nametag in third person
The player's own name is rendered above the character when the camera is in third-person view.
Opaque nametag text
The dark background behind nametags is removed, so names read with full contrast against the scene.
Clearer player identification
Names stay legible at a glance, which helps identify other players in busy areas.
