Name Tags Always
by ItzTK
Name Tags Always keeps mob name tags visible above mobs, so custom names stay readable at all times.
What it does
Name Tags Always makes mob names always visible, without needing a name tag to be held or looked at. A toggle lets a player turn display names off again, and the binding is unbound by default. The mod runs on Fabric for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 and is released under the MIT License, so the source code is open.
Key features
Always visible mob names
Mob names stay on screen above each mob that carries a custom name, without requiring the player to look directly at it.
Toggle display names
A key toggles display names off and on again, so the visibility can be switched during play.
Unbound default key
The toggle starts without a key assigned, so the player picks one in the controls menu before using it.
