Invisible Nickname
by RedBounce_
Invisible Nickname hides player nicknames and nameplates above heads, and the change applies to the client's own view only.
What it does
On a client running the mod, other players' nicknames and nameplates above their heads are hidden from the HUD. The change is local: other players on the same server keep seeing normal nameplates, and only the interface of the player who installed it is affected. Clean screenshots and streams are the main use the author describes. Installation requires Fabric. The mod is client and server, so both the server and every player need it, and it is released under the MIT License, not as open source, for 1.21.11 only.
Key features
Hidden nicknames
Nicknames of other players are not drawn, so they do not appear in the game view.
Hidden nameplates
Nameplates above player heads are removed from the HUD on the client side.
Local view only
Other players still see normal nameplates, because the change affects only the installing player's interface.

How it compares
Show me your nickname runs client-side only under the Apache License 2.0 for 1.21.11, so only the player needs it. ExNameTags is a Fabric mod for 1.21.5 where either side can run it and neither needs it, released under All rights reserved and not open source.
