Nameable Players is an addon that allows you to do exactly that. Working for 1.17+ simply use an anvil to rename a nametag then use it on your friend. This addon works using the default nametag and is compatible with craftable nametag addons!

The resource pack works just fine but when i try and "activate" the Behavior pack it tells me "faild to load pack S" and it wount load in the full mod just the resource pack. So im not able to click on a charecter and name them. Is there a possible fix for this issue. Im on version 1.17 bedrock edition....so im not sure whats going on. Thank you for this awsome content i just wish it worked for me.
Do §l to get bolded text.
It's a feature of Minecraft bedrock, so he did now show how to do it.
i'm gonna do a hide and seek in the new mountains and it'd be so much better with no name tag
