Name Pain FAQ

Name Pain works as soon as it's installed, so there's nothing to enable. If nameplates look unchanged, check that the mod is actually loaded and that no other nameplate mod is overriding it.

It colors the nameplate based on the mob or player's current health, shifting through a gradient as health drops. Full-health targets look one way and near-death targets look another, so you can read danger at a glance.

The most common cause is another mod that also touches nameplates and loads after Name Pain, overriding its rendering. Disable other nameplate or health-bar mods one at a time to find the conflict.

Yes, the config lets you adjust the color scheme and how health maps to color. Open the config file or in-game config screen and edit the color options to match your preferences.

It's a client-side mod, so it works on any server you join without the server needing it installed. Other players won't see your colors, only you will.

Name Pain improves villager and pet name visibility by default, but you can tweak the config to make them stand out more. Look for the visibility or scaling options in the config and adjust them.

It's lightweight and shouldn't noticeably affect performance on its own. If you're already running many rendering mods, the combined load is more likely to be the issue than Name Pain alone.

The config lets you control which entities get colored nameplates. Check the entity filtering options to exclude specific mob types if you don't want them affected.

It can conflict with mods that also modify nameplate rendering, since both try to control the same thing. If colors aren't showing, try loading Name Pain after the other mod or removing the conflicting one.

Delete or rename the mod's config file and restart the game, and it will regenerate with default values. You can also use the reset option in the in-game config screen if one is available.
