Hide Name Tags
by Tmfeldman
Hide Name Tags lets a player switch off the name labels drawn above other players, using a hotkey.
What it does
Players can toggle the visibility of name tags above player entities, and the setting applies to every player-tagged entity on screen. The default hotkey is F6, which turns name tag rendering off until it is pressed again. The option suits anyone who plays with friends and wants to stay hidden, or who simply does not like how nametags look. Files are published for Fabric and Forge, covering 1.21 – 1.21.1, and the mod is released under the MIT License as open source.
Only the client needs the mod, so servers run without it and players join without installing anything. The mod is on the client alone, and a server can keep its own setup unchanged. Builds exist for 1.21 and 1.21.1, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.1 as the latest file on both loaders.

This mod allows the user to toggle name tag rendering on and off with a hotkey (F6 by default). This applies to both players and name tagged entities. This may be useful if you want to play a game with your friends which involves stealth, or if you just don't like the way nametags look.
