Stardew Valley, by default, does not display any player names outside the general list command. While this can make the world more immersive, it can also lead to confusion on servers with larger player bases. On those servers, displaying players' names above their heads, conveniently available through modding the local client, can be helpful. This means players can install this mod independently of the server or other players while still being allowed to connect to the server, ensuring no one else's experience is altered.
Note: Mods may potentially stop working after a SMAPI update.
