NameHide is another plugin that I was commissioned to make.
This plugin hides player's name plates when the player is not visible.
All name plates are hidden by default - by setting every player on the same Scoreboard team -- subsequently disabling nametags.
Then, for each player that is visible, we create invisible CLIENTSIDE armor stands, with a custom name.
That armor stand takes the name of the player, and follows them around. Once the player moves out of view, the armor stand despawns.
-
No server load since all nameplates are clientside
-
Custom armor stand nameplates
-
Lightweight resource usage due to many optimizations
