The NBT tag CustomNameVisible:1 no longer keeps the name above their head.

It used to keep the name above their head, but now it does nothing, can this please be fixed? It's a very important mapmaking tool.

You probably didn't see Searge's comment from MC-57516:

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.

Didn't this used to work?

Unfortunately this is a Won't Fix (MC-57516). Just curious, is there a replacement for this tag for mobs (since otherwise it breaks some maps)?

We have a workaround. We summoned a snowball riding a mob and named the snowball. To be honest, I don't see how Searge can claim this is not bug since it used to work for the very purpose of naming mobs. But this is a pretty good working alternative.

Ok I suppose that works 🙂
