Better Player Visibility

Better Player Visibility is a client-side mod for Fabric that controls how other players and entities are displayed on the player's own screen. Its visibility system can selectively show or hide players through several rules and lists, and every list starts empty until it is filled through the config screen or commands. The settings only apply to players the rules affect, and the mod changes only what the local player sees, not server behavior or gameplay.

The highlight system marks selected players so they stand out, adding a custom tag above the player or modifying the name tag appearance, and both methods can be used together. Entity visibility applies the same logic to other entities, and hidden entities become invisible. The mod also helps detect server-created NPCs, which some Bedrock players are wrongly detected as; this is noted as a known limitation. Lunar Client blocks name tag rendering changes, so highlighting may not show there.

Installation needs only Fabric, and the environment is client-side only, so the server does not need the mod. Files are published for Fabric alone, across 17 release versions 1.21 – 26.3, and the latest Fabric file is 1.0.2+26.3 for 26.3, published 2026-09-20. The code is all rights reserved and is not open source, though source code and the issue tracker are public.
