Hide Mob Nametags
by Mrbysco
Hide Mob Nametags stops mob name labels from showing above mobs in the world, for players who find them distracting.
What it does
The mod changes how mob nametags behave. It works by setting isCustomNameVisible to false on mobs, which is the opposite of the default CustomNameVisible tag. Under that default, a name shows only when the player is looking at the mob, and the mod hides it fully instead. Nametags stay hidden until a mob is killed, so the name is never visible while it is alive. The mod is client-side only, so only the client needs it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 26.1.2.
Key features
Hidden mob nametags
Mobs with custom names no longer display their nametag above them while they are alive.
Full hiding instead of look-based display
Unlike the default behaviour, names are not shown when the player looks at a mob.
Names revealed on death
A nametag becomes visible only after the mob is killed, so the name can still be read at that point.

What the author says
Hide Mob Name tags is a simple mod that changes the behaviour of mob nametags. By default, the CustomNameVisible NBT tag, when disabled, only hides the nametag of a given mob if you're not looking directly at them, as opposed to completely hiding them. This mod changes that so you'll NEVER see their name at all!…
