CustomNameVisible not Working

You cannot see the name of an item with a custom name. This was added in one of the latest snapshots, i hope it didn't get removed :S

@[Mojang] Mog (Ryan Holtz)
previously the CustomNAmeVisible tag would always show the name, regardles if aimed at that entity, however, no it will not do that.

Will guys from Mojang fix it? Please

you know, there are more game breaking bugs then this one, they focus on those first

ok. Looking forward this bugfix.

This is still an issue for 14w27b

This is still a problem (CustomNameVisible) of item for 14w28b.
Edit: I have uploaded 3 pictures

The CustomNameVisible tag does not work on animals and mobs, because they have different rules about showing the name. For the other entities it should work.

Regarding CanPickUpLoot - do you have the mob griefing gamerule set to false? In that case, mobs won't pick up loot.

Well, lots of us confirm this bug while in a superflat testing world with the mobGriefing gamemode set to false.

Works as intended, then.

Custom names for items is fixed in the next version

Searge, what rules are used for animals and mobs?

Previously, CustomNameVisible=false would hide the name tag unless the player looks at the entity, while CustomNameVisible=true would show it at all times. Now, it has no effect: it always shows if looking at the entity, and never shows otherwise. Non-players can't be added to teams, so I can't imagine what other rules would apply to them.

This bug either was not actually fixed in 14w29a or has since reappeared, because I am now testing it and it is certainly affecting 14w29b.

Notice Searge said CustomNameVisible does not work with mobs.

"The CustomNameVisible tag does not work on animals and mobs, because they have different rules about showing the name. For the other entities it should work."

Prior to 1.8, CustomNameVisible did work on animals and mobs. I'm just curious why it doesn't anymore.

qmagnet, he said afterwards that it would be fixed in the next update. However, when testing it, it doesn't appear to have been fixed.

Andrew Cookson, he specifically said items, and not animals / mobs.

WolfieMario - yea, I hope this will work with mobs AGAIN soon :<

CustomNameVisible doesn't work in 34b, using this command:

/summon Villager ~ ~ ~ {Profession:4,Career:1,CustomName:Bill,CustomNameVisible:1}

Not working with mobs is still an issue in 1.8-pre1. This report or MC-66125 should be reopened!

See red/yellow box in the description.

What is the point of the 'CustomNameVisible' tag existing then?

@Conor McS all other entity's show them normally (items,arrows,etc)

Even so, what's the point in a tag that most people use on living entities, not working on living entities?

Also, don't bother typing @ in front of names. It does nothing and looks annoying.
