Better Name Visibility Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn on the mod after installing it?
The mod is active by default once installed. Open Mod Menu, find Better Name Visibility, and access settings through YACL to confirm it's enabled or adjust any options.
What's the default keybind to toggle name visibility?
The default keybind is the plus (+) key, but you can change it to any key you prefer through the mod's settings in YACL.
Why can't I see name tags in caves even with the mod on?
Make sure the "Fullbright Names" option is enabled in your settings—this prevents light level from darkening name tags in low-light areas like caves and dungeons.
How do I change the color of name tag text?
Open your mod settings through Mod Menu, go to YACL, and adjust the "Foreground Color" option to change both the text color and its opacity.
Can I make the background behind names darker or lighter?
Yes, find the "Background Color" setting in YACL and adjust it to make the background darker, lighter, or more or less transparent depending on your preference.
Does this mod affect name tags on mobs, players, or both?
The mod improves visibility for all vanilla-rendered name tags in the game, including both mobs and players.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
Better Name Visibility is designed to be lightweight and should not cause noticeable performance impact, but if you experience issues, try toggling the mod off to confirm.
Can I use this mod with other mods that change name tag appearance?
Compatibility depends on how other mods render names; if conflicts occur, try adjusting the load order or disabling conflicting features in either mod's settings.
What happens if I toggle the mod off mid-game?
You can toggle enhanced name rendering on and off at any time using your configured keybind—the change takes effect immediately without restarting.
Do I need to restart the game to apply setting changes?
No, changes made through YACL take effect immediately; you only need to restart if you're installing or uninstalling the mod itself.
