BetterNameTags

BetterNameTags improves Minecraft player name rendering with clean, customizable 3D name tags and equipment display.

It replaces vanilla nametags with a modern, always-visible 3D overlay showing player names, health, and held/armor items.

The mod is client-side and works on any server without server-side required.

✨ Features

• Health display with color indication (green / yellow / red)
• Shows player equipment (armor + held items)
• Smooth world-space rendering using camera billboarding
• Item icons rendered directly in 3D space

🧠 How it works

• Hooks into the client 3D render event

• Iterates all nearby players

• Renders:

  Name + health text

  Armor + held items above the player

  Uses custom scaling based on camera distance

  Fully replaces vanilla nametag visuals
