Better-PvP

by Bergbauer

Better-PvP lets players group into customizable teams that color their armor, skins and chat messages, so they can tell allies apart in multiplayer fights.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.1 – 1.21.11

What it does

A team is created from the Team Manager Panel, where its name, color and members can be changed with the buttons on the right side. Selecting a team opens its own page, where specific players are added to it. The Settings Panel lists each feature of the mod behind a checkbox, so every feature can be turned on or off on its own.

Team-based armor colorization tints vanilla armor pieces in the team's color and outlines them, which helps tell players apart even when they wear the same type of armor. Team-based skin colorization changes the whole skin to match the team color, and it is off by default. The chat setting colors each player's messages in the team's color. The mod is client-side only, so it changes nothing on the server, and it does not affect modded armor.

Better-PvP is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric only, covering 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 with 1.1.1 for 1.21.11 as the latest file.

Key features

  1. Custom teams

    Players create teams with their own name and color and assign members from a dedicated team page.

  2. Team-colored armor and outline

    Vanilla armor pieces take on the team color and display an outline, making players easier to identify.

  3. Team-colored skins

    The entire player skin can be recolored to match the team, an option that is off by default.

  4. Team-colored chat

    Messages from team members are displayed in the team's color, which helps in busy multiplayer chat.

  5. Per-feature settings

    Each feature is toggled with its own checkbox in the Settings Panel, so players enable only what they want.

What the author says

When the setting to colorize players based on their team is enabled, each player's messages in the chat will be displayed in their team's color. This feature is especially useful when playing on multiplayer servers with prominent team dynamics, as it makes it easier to differentiate players by their team affiliation…
