What it does

Villager name tags are hidden on the player's screen while the mod is installed. Only the client needs it, so servers and other players can run without it. The author notes that it works alongside Villager Names and Better Health Indicator without overlapping HUD elements. It also runs standalone. Files are published for Fabric only, for game version 26.2, with 1.0.0 as the latest file, released under CC0 1.0 Universal and not open source.

Key features

  1. Hidden villager name tags

    The vanilla name tag above each villager is not drawn, which leaves the village view uncluttered.

  2. Room for other HUD elements

    Hiding the tags keeps Villager Names and Better Health Indicator readouts from overlapping on screen.

  3. Standalone use

    The mod works on its own, without a companion mod, and changes nothing in the world.

How it compares

Full comparison

Health Indicators Port is also client-side only for 26.2 and is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, but it shows health readouts for mobs rather than hiding villager tags. Prevent Villager Hitting is client-side only for 26.2 under the MIT License, and it stops players from attacking villagers.
