LOS Nametags
by NanovdK
LOS Nametags hides hostile mob nametags unless the mob stands within line of sight and a set distance of the player.
What it does
Hostile mobs outside the player's line of sight and beyond a configurable distance have their nametags hidden. Within that range, the nametag shows as usual. The default distance is 48 blocks. Only the client needs the mod, so players can join a server without installing anything.
Key features
Line-of-sight check
A hostile mob's nametag is shown only when the mob is visible to the player along an unobstructed line.
Configurable distance
The distance at which nametags of hostile mobs stay hidden can be changed in the settings, with 48 as the default.
Works with other nametag mods
Pairs well with other mods that give hostile mobs nametags, where mob names are shown alongside the line-of-sight rule.
