# Sneaky Player Names<\/p>\n

A client-side fabric mod hiding player names if they are not in sight, or if they are too far.<\/p>\n

It makes the multiplayer experience more immersive by allowing you to sneak up on other players.<\/p>\n

## Mod Configuration<\/p>\n

A `sneaky_player_names.properties` config file will be automatically generated in the mod config directory.<\/p>\n

There are two different options :
\n– `hide_player_names` : whether to hide out of sight players’ names or not (can be `true` or `false`). Default : `true`<\/p>\n

– `max_distance` : the furthest you can see a player name (in blocks). A negative distance represents an infinite distance, and 0 will never show names. Default : `30`.<\/p>\n

If there’s an error while reading the config, the mod will use the default values.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
