Can confirm 23w44a

Confirmed in 24w37a

I can confirm that this bug is still present in version 24w40a.

At the same time some blocks, items and particles render over the background of nametags/renamed items in item frames/scoreboard... but not over the text (I don't know if this is a bug) 

It's really easy to see if you change Text Background to Everywhere and change Text Background Opacity to 100%.

So far the blocks it happen to render over background that I know of are:

  • Heads and all variants

  • Glass and glass panes and all variants

  • Signs and all variants

  • Hanging signs and all variants

  • Beds 

  • Banners

  • Item frames

  • Bell (only the Bell)

  • Decorated pots and all variants

  • Minecarts and all variants

  • Conduit

  • Chests and all variants

  • Beacon (only the ray)

  • Mobs (only the ones spawned with spawn eggs, weird!)

  • Dropped items

  • Particles ❓

  • Others ❓

There is another thing, when a player is sneaking near other players/nametags, it kinda blinks other nametags at the same time, but I was on a third party server, so it need further testing.

This is happening because name tags render to the main output target, making name tags output to another output target seems to fix the issue when using improved transparency option.

The comment above from 20 Jan 2025 is an unrelated issue, but seems to happen (not 100% sure, but confident) because the background of name tags get rendered with a depth (which then in turn becomes the Z axis) of -0.01. That issue gets more obvious when using the text background everywhere accessibility option with a high background opacity.
