Visible Nickname is a client-side Fabric mod for Minecraft that ensures player name tags remain visible at all times, even when players are affected by invisibility.
The mod works entirely on the client by modifying the entity rendering logic, forcing name labels to render without altering server behavior or network protocols. This makes it useful for moderation, administration, and situations where player identification is important.
Visible Nickname is fully configurable, lightweight, and safe to use on vanilla servers since it does not send illegal packets or modify gameplay mechanics.
