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
