Changelog

1.1.2

• Added nametag culling for named mobs and armour stands. A named animal or a labelled armour stand gave a base away through terrain exactly like a player did. Invisible ones are left alone, so hologram armour stands stay readable. Turn it off with cull_entity_nametags.
• Added #culltag:transparent, a block tag listing everything you can see through. Change it with a datapack to cover blocks from other mods, or to make something hide nametags that currently does not.
• Added translation support. Every message the mod prints can be replaced by a language file, and English is built in, so nothing changes if you do not add one.
• Changed glass so it no longer hides anyone. Glass, stained glass, panes, iron bars, chains, ladders and scaffolding are all see-through, and hiding a nametag behind something you can see straight through was never the point.
• Changed what the sight check aims at, from a player's eyes to the nametag itself. A nametag peeking over a low wall now stays visible, and one tucked behind a ledge stays hidden even when the player's eyes are not.
• Changed max_distance to top out at 64. Vanilla stops drawing nametags at 64 blocks, so anything higher was doing nothing at all. Existing configs above 64 are lowered to it on load.
• Changed the minimum Fabric Loader version to 0.19.3.
• Removed crouch_hides_nametag. Crouching to vanish was a stealth mechanic rather than a fix for anything vanilla gets wrong, and it cost a crouching player their team colour in the eyes of anyone they were hidden from. The culltag_hidden team it left in your world is cleaned up for you on first start.
• Fixed nametags showing through walls until somebody moved. Logging in behind a wall, respawning behind a wall, walking into range from far off, or re-enabling the mod all left nametags fully visible until the two players moved in and out of each other's sight.
• Fixed nametags staying hidden at long range, in the open, after two players had walked apart.
• Fixed nametags staying hidden after a player died, changed dimension, or logged out and back in.

1.1.1

• Added separate line-of-sight and crouch counts to /culltag stats, and to the message /culltag disable prints.
• Added PassableFoliage as a declared incompatibility. Nametags flickered near trees with it installed, so the game now refuses to start with both rather than letting it happen.
• Fixed nametags being hidden between players standing in clear sight of each other, and occasionally still visible after one of them walked behind cover. Opening a door or breaking a block never brought a nametag back.
• Fixed crouch_hides_nametag doing nothing to a crouching player in clear view, which is the only case the setting was for. While hidden this way a player showed no team colour to anyone they were hidden from.
• Fixed /culltag disable leaving some nametags hidden.

1.1.0

• Added crouch_hides_nametag (on by default): a crouching player's nametag is hidden from everyone, whether or not anything is in the way.
• Changed /culltag reload to report the new setting alongside the existing ones.

1.0.0

• Initial release. A nametag is hidden from anyone whose view of it is blocked, worked out entirely on the server, so players connect with unmodified clients and install nothing.
• Added /culltag enable, /culltag disable, /culltag reload and /culltag stats.
• Added config/culltag.properties with enabled, max_distance and check_interval_ticks.
