CursorNameTag changes how player nametags work. Instead of always being visible, nametags now only appear when you are close enough and looking directly at the player, just like mob nametags in vanilla Minecraft.
Features:
Nametag only shows when looking directly at a player(default look at face)
Hidden behind walls and terrain
Hidden when the player is sneaking
Configurable view distance and FOV angle
Supported: Paper 1.21.1
