    Brief Description:
    Upon naming some passive mobs (horses) in my town with nametags, all of the tags worked at first. They all stuck to the horses. When revisiting some of the horses a few moments later, the nametags disappeared. All of the horses were spread out far enough so they would not stack and there was no sign of them stacking. Most of the tags stuck to the horses, but a few disappeared.

    Instructions:
    1. Name some nametags
    2. Spread out horses so that they will not stack
    3. Tame horses
    4. Name horses

    How many times did you recreate this?:
    Three.

    Result:
    Some of the nametags that were originally used on the horses were no longer on the horses.

    Expected Result:
    All of the horses named with nametags would stay named.

    Evidence:
    No screenshots as I do not have evidence of the horses being named with the nametags.

    This is due to the stacking plugin we use. Even if no other mob of the same kind is nearby to stack with it, it will still "try" to stack, removing any custom name.

    Unfortunately our stacking plug-in interferes with name tags quite a lot.
