How to toggle nametag (since 1.2.0)

Some servers may provide their own server-side implementation, which can cause rendering conflicts with this mod.

To mitigate this, you can add server addresses to a blacklist by listing them line-by-line in config/perspectivenametag.server-blacklist.txt.

mc.example.com
localhost:12345
127.0.0.1
...

For developers, perspectivenametag-core exposes an API that allows you to control when nametags are rendered.
