Perspective Nametag
by KKW557
Perspective Nametag keeps the player's own nametag visible when the camera is switched to second or third person view.
What it does
The mod draws the nametag over the player model in second and third person perspective, where vanilla normally hides it. Files cover 80 release versions, 1.7.2 – 26.3, for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, Quilt, Legacy Fabric and Ornithe, and snapshot builds are published as well. The mod is open source under the MIT License.
Only the client needs it, so servers run without it and players join without installing anything. A server running its own nametag code may clash with the rendering here, and developers can control when nametags render through the perspectivenametag-core API.
