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)

- Item icons rendered directly in 3D space
