NameTags Effects 1.20.3-1.21.3

⚠ IMPORTANT!

Due to a bug fix made in 1.20.3, removing a mob's name has become almost impossible. This means that, when using a special name tag, the mob's name will no longer disapper as it did before. As a temporary workaround (until MC-128225 is fixed) a new name tag has been added: 'noname'.
