Hides nametags until directly targeted

About this Mod
Sneaky NameTag
Makes player nametags only visible when:
- Directly targeting them
- Player isn't crouching
- Client side
This mod is ideal for roleplay, as names will not be visible unless you are close and looking directly at the person. This way:
- It is more immersive.
- You don't sacrifice the ability to see names.
- If someone doesn’t want to reveal their name, they can crouch— even if you're close and looking at them, you won’t see their name.
