You can edit the config using Mod Menu.<\/p>\n<p>### Foreground Color<\/p>\n<p>Controls the text color and opacity of names. *It defaults to fully opaque white.*<br \/>\n![A name tag in orange color](https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/Hoetty\/better-name-visibility\/refs\/tags\/v2.0.2\/docs\/images\/textcolor.png)<\/p>\n<p>### Background Color<\/p>\n<p>Controls the background color of name tags. *It defaults to semi transparent black.*<br \/>\n![A name tag with a bright pink background](https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/Hoetty\/better-name-visibility\/refs\/tags\/v2.0.2\/docs\/images\/backgroundcolor.png)<\/p>\n<p>### Fullbright Names<\/p>\n<p>Name tags are no longer affected by the current light level. This only affects names that are not rendered behind other blocks. Names behind other blocks are always fullbright. *It defaults to on.*<br \/>\n![A name underwater. Compares on vs off. On is brighter](https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/Hoetty\/better-name-visibility\/refs\/tags\/v2.0.2\/docs\/images\/fullbright.png)<\/p>\n<p>### Distant Name Scaling<\/p>\n<p>Sets the scaling of distant names from &#8220;`0.0&#8220;` to &#8220;`1.0&#8220;`. At &#8220;`0.0&#8220;` names are not scaled at all. At &#8220;`1.0&#8220;` all names appear the same size, regardless of distance. *It defaults to &#8220;`0.2&#8220;`.*<br \/>\n![A vertical comparison of two different scale factors](https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/Hoetty\/better-name-visibility\/refs\/tags\/v2.0.2\/docs\/images\/namescale.png)<\/p>\n<p>### Render Names At Any Distance<\/p>\n<p>By default Minecraft stops rendering names farther away than 64 blocks. This limit can be disabled, but is only recommended with decent name scaling enabled. *It is disabled by default.*<\/p>\n<p>### Disable Team Colors<\/p>\n<p>Team Colors will by default overwrite the &#8220;`RGB&#8220;` components of your custom foreground colors. You may enable this option to force the use of your configured text color. *It is not enabled by default.*<\/p>\n<p>## Shader Support<\/p>\n<p>Correct functionality in combination with shaders is not guaranteed. Some shaderpacks may support all functionality, while other shaderpacks will only work partly, i. e. not renderering names through walls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Increases the visibility of names behind blocks<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":28935,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"better-name-visibility","_minecraft_project_id":"pSfNeCCY","_minecraft_author":"Hoetty","_minecraft_license":"MIT","_minecraft_downloads":77868,"_minecraft_follows":105,"_minecraft_client_side":"required","_minecraft_server_side":"unsupported","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"better-name-visibility.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":444010,"_minecraft_version_count":8,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-16T00:07:41.715078Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2022-06-18T08:57:06.211790Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2025-12-03T13:33:21.188274Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/better-name-visibility","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":28935,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-01T11:43:17+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"fc7f49249d85bee33f43b0f9888012de","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[97,92],"mod_loader":[99],"minecraft_version":[53,54,55,56,57,58,59,36,60,93,94,101,102,62,37,40,41,73,74,38,78,79,80,81,82],"class_list":["post-28934","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-fabric","mod_category-utility","mod_loader-fabric","minecraft_version-1-18-2","minecraft_version-1-19","minecraft_version-1-19-1","minecraft_version-1-19-2","minecraft_version-1-19-3","minecraft_version-1-19-4","minecraft_version-1-20","minecraft_version-1-20-1","minecraft_version-1-20-2","minecraft_version-1-20-3","minecraft_version-1-20-4","minecraft_version-1-20-5","minecraft_version-1-20-6","minecraft_version-1-21","minecraft_version-1-21-1","minecraft_version-1-21-10","minecraft_version-1-21-11","minecraft_version-1-21-2","minecraft_version-1-21-3","minecraft_version-1-21-4","minecraft_version-1-21-5","minecraft_version-1-21-6","minecraft_version-1-21-7","minecraft_version-1-21-8","minecraft_version-1-21-9"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
