Horse nametag fix
by xyze4
Horse nametag fix corrects a vanilla bug in which nametag horses are drawn one block higher than they should be, so the name stays readable.
What it does
Under vanilla rendering, a horse wearing armor has its armor head geometry cover part of the nametag, which can make the name hard or impossible to read. The mod adjusts nametag rendering so horse names stay visible even with armor equipped. It also addresses the tracked bug MC-306987, where a nametagged horse is shifted one block upward. The fix is applied on the client, and the mod is built only for Fabric 1.21.11.
Key features
Nametag position fix
Horses with nametags are no longer displayed one block higher than their actual position.
Visible names under armor
Armor head geometry no longer hides the nametag, so a horse's name can be read while it is armored.
