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

Perspective Nametag server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (26.1.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Perspective Nametag compatible with fabric and forge and legacy-fabric and neoforge and ornithe and quilt?

Perspective Nametag officially supports fabric, forge, legacy-fabric, neoforge, ornithe, quilt for Minecraft 26.1.2, 26.1.1, 26.1. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Perspective Nametag – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Perspective Nametag consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
