NameTag Tweak is a mod that allows you to customize the nametags (nameplates) visible above players and entities.

I developed this because I found the original nametags in the game quite ugly (opaque brown is not a nice backing color).

The mod give the player the control to customize the nametags as they please. Customization is done through the config file named nametagtweak.json present in your ModConfig folder after running the game with the mod at least once.

All configuration parameters are as follows:

The background color of the nametag, R, G, B, A. Values in the range 0-1
BackgroundColor - [ 0.251, 0.208, 0.161, 0.75]

The text color of the nametag, R, G, B, A. Values in the range 0-1
TextColor - [ 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 ]

The padding of the nametag around the text in pixels. 0 makes the edges of the text touch the edges of the nametag. Higher values move the edges of the nametag away. Think of it as thickness
TextPadding - 3

The roundness of the corners of the nametag in pixels. Higher value makes the nametag more round, 0 makes it square.
BorderRadius - 1.0

Whether or not the nametag (the whole square) should have a drop-shadow. Default VS UI elements all have drop-shadows.
DropShadow - true

The thickness of the border. If no border is desired set this to 0.
BorderWidth - 3.0

The border color of the nametag, R, G, B, A. Values in the range 0-1
BorderColor - [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.3]
