The name gets redundant with mods like The One Probe and Lycanite's Mobs Soulgazer. Plus it looks weird with some mod's entity names.

This did exist in an old version. It seems to have been lost somehow. I will readd this for newer versions.

Did this ever get any traction? Would really love to have this option, and it looks like you already did most if not all of the work? @Vazkii since this has been here this long, is it safe to say there's no interest/bandwidth in this tweak? Or was it just forgotten after uh...4ish years oh lol
