AnonymousNames+
by monobao
AnonymousNames+ is a client-side Fabric mod for 1.21.11 that hides player name tags and identities so that players cannot be recognized during a match.
What it does
Recognizing opponents by name, skin or reputation can change how a player behaves in combat. AnonymousNames+ removes that signal on the client: nametags are replaced with aliases, and player skins can be obfuscated so that a known appearance no longer marks a target. Kills are no longer tied to a visible identity on the screen, which keeps attention on the fight itself.
The mod ships with an interface that stays clean during play, avoiding extra text that might reveal who is who. Its visual style leans toward a cyberpunk tactical look. Only the client needs it, so players can use it alone in single-player or on any server without installing anything on the server side. Files are published for Fabric 1.21.11 only, under All rights reserved; the code is not open source.
Key features
Name aliases
Player nametags are replaced with aliases, so a name cannot be used to recognize an opponent.
Skin obfuscation
Player skins are altered on screen, so a familiar appearance does not single out a target.
Kill feed without identities
Kills are displayed without revealing who the player is, which keeps targeting decisions about the match only.
Clean interface
The HUD is kept free of extra identity text so attention stays on the fight.
Cyberpunk tactical styling
The visual theme uses a uniform tactical look inspired by cyberpunk aesthetics.

Use cases
Competitive matches
Players who want to judge opponents by their play rather than their reputation can hide names and skins during a match.
Learning a new opponent pool
Players facing many unfamiliar names can focus on how others move instead of who they are.
Who it’s for: Players who compete on servers or in arena-style modes where names and skins shape how opponents are treated, and who want the same visual conditions for everyone.
How it compares
Hide Identity Display Effect is open source under the BSD 3-Clause License and runs as a server-required mod for 1.20 – 1.21, with the client optional. Local Identity is client-side only under the MIT License and built for 1.21.11, the same version as AnonymousNames+, but it is not open source. FakeRanks is client-side only for 1.21.11 under All rights reserved, so it is a closer match in environment and version than the server-based option.
