No more blowing your cover by accidentally uncrouching!
Subtle Name Tags makes name tags only render when:
- close enough to the entity
- looking in the general direction of the entity
- there are no obstacles between you and the entity
All of the features are totally configurable by the client.
This aims to make nametag rendering a more deliberate and intentional thing rather than always being there cluttering your screen.
