Better Nametags
A mod that adds a few quality of life improvements to the rendering of nametags. This can be helpful for visibility or visuals. Personally, I enjoy using the text shadow with a transparent background.
Features
- Toggling text shadow
- Full control over background ARGB color
- Full control of text ARGB color
- Toggling your own nametag
- Option to disable all nametags
Note: Some background colors may create an issue with nametag shadows, this is currently a minecraft bug that is planned to be fixed in a future release.
