Aaron’s Mod
by AzureAaron
With Aaron's Mod installed, players can shadow scoreboard and name tag text, hide scores and backgrounds, and show an FPS counter on screen.
What it does
Shadowed scoreboard text, hidden scoreboard scores, shadowed name tag text, hidden name tag backgrounds and an FPS display are the main client-side options. The mod also offers a set of chat commands, and the author describes it as a collection for vanilla and Skyblock play.
Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin are required, so both must be installed alongside the mod. YetAnotherConfigLib is bundled inside the file, so players do not add it separately. A configuration screen is available for the options. The mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source, and its source code and issue tracker are publicly linked.
Files exist for Fabric only, for 24 release versions across 1.19.4 – 26.2, with 3.1.0+26.2 as the latest build for 26.2, published on 2026-07-06. The mod was first published on 2023-01-17.

Use cases
Skyblock play
Players of Skyblock style maps may use the scoreboard options to read sidebar information more clearly.
Vanilla survival
Players who want a cleaner HUD can hide scores and name tag backgrounds without changing other game rules.
Who it’s for: Players who want to adjust scoreboard and name tag display on the client, and those who want an on-screen frame rate counter. Server owners do not need to install it.
