Nametag Tweaks
Players who find nametags cluttering their view can use Nametag Tweaks to hide, reposition or restyle them on the client.
What it does
Nametag Tweaks changes how entity names are drawn on screen. Options cover removing nametags entirely, keeping the player's own nametag visible, and hiding nametags of entities, players or armor stands while the game is in F1 mode. A height offset moves the text up or down, and a custom background color and a text shadow setting adjust its appearance.
Only the client needs the mod, so a player can run it on a single-player world or join any server without the server having it. It requires Fabric API, Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL). Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge across the game versions 1.19.4 – 26.2, and the source code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only.

Screenshots and videos
Hiding nametags in F1 mode keeps captures clean without removing names from the rest of the interface.
Crowded servers
Players on busy multiplayer servers can reduce the number of names drawn around them.
Who it’s for: Players who want to change how nametags look or hide them on their own client. Server owners do not need to install anything for it to work.
