How to toggle nametag (since `1.2.0`)

Some servers may provide their own server-side implementation,
which can cause rendering conflicts with this mod.

To mitigate this,
you can add server addresses to a blacklist by listing them line-by-line in config/perspectivenametag.server-blacklist.txt.

mc.example.com
localhost:12345
127.0.0.1
...

For developers, perspectivenametag-core exposes an API that allows you to control when nametags are rendered.

See icu.suc.kkw557.perspectivenametag.PerspectiveNametag for details.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Perspective Nametag need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks Perspective Nametag as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.

Which version and loader does Perspective Nametag require?

Use a file for fabric, forge, legacy-fabric, neoforge, ornithe, quilt and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 26.2, 26.1.2, 26.1.1. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

Perspective Nametag is not working – what should I check?

First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
