Feature request: Hiding NPC name tags

[phm07]

It would be nice if you could disable NPC name tags with a flag. This could be accomplished with scoreboard teams (See this packet). This would make it possible to use custom holograms so you could make NPC names unique for each player, make them have multiple lines and animate them.

Could be added as an extension (just like the labymod stuff), but I wouldn't add it into the core library. If you're interested in adding the module, I would be happy to accept a PR. Note that I wouldn't use packets to add/remove scoreboards and teams as this is just awful considering the cross-version support we want to offer (keep in mind that the solution must be extendable for later server software we want to implement as well, but should support bukkit & minestom atm).

Why not? Its the best option for 1.8+ versions, and for 1.7 to 1.8 another possible way is the use of entity attachment of like bats or something by the use of packets

I also needed this feat, so I experimented a little, and it turns out, setting the npc name to empty String "" results in no nametag

Wrong, you will have it, you'll see a ~12px blank thing

No, I do not, thanks.
