Nametag Render Fix

by Goobercorp Modding Industries

Nametag Render Fix changes when entity nametags are drawn, so they no longer show through semi-transparent blocks such as stained glass, ice, honey and water.

What it does

Nametag Render Fix defers the drawing of entity nametags until after the world has finished rendering. Nameplates that sit in front of translucent blocks are then shown correctly instead of being tinted or hidden by them. The mod is client-side only, so only the client needs it and the server can run without it.

The author notes that it can change how shaders treat entity shadows, and that other mods which alter nametag rendering may interact with it or affect performance. The mod is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later and is open source. Files are published for Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt, with the latest builds for 1.21.11.

Key features

  1. Deferred nametag drawing

    Nametags are rendered after the rest of the world, which keeps them readable over translucent blocks.

  2. Translucent block fix

    Nameplates behind or inside stained glass, ice, honey and water appear in their correct place.

  3. Shader side effect

    With some shader packs, entity shadows may stop rendering while this mod is installed.

What the author says

Fixes issues when rendering nameplates (entity nametags) while they are infront of semi-translucent blocks such as (stained) glass, ice, honey, water and other entities by deferring their rendering until after the world has finished drawing.
