Fake Tier
by BestOfAfrika
Fake Tier lets a player assign local-only PvP tier tags to other online players, and the tags are visible only on the player's own screen.
What it does
Tiers are applied through an online player selection screen. Each tier is stored per player UUID, so the choice stays attached to that player, and a clear option removes an assigned tier. The tier is drawn beside the name in the official TierTagger-style format and colors.
Because everything is local, changes do not reach other players or any server, and nothing is sent to the game or other clients. Fake Tier runs on the client alone and is configurable through Mod Menu. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. The build is published for Fabric only, for game version 1.21.11.
Key features
Online player selection screen
A GUI lists the players currently online, so a tier can be picked for any of them without typing names.
Per-player saved tiers
Assigned tiers are saved by player UUID, so they remain linked to the same account across sessions.
Tier name display
The assigned tier appears to the far left of the player name, using TierTagger-style colors.
Clear tier option
A clear option removes a tier that was assigned earlier, returning the player name to its plain display.

Use cases
Private PvP tier notes
A player who ranks opponents for personal reference can tag them on the local screen, and only that player sees the marks.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who want to keep their own PvP tier notes about other online players, without affecting anyone else.
How it compares
Universal TierTagger is a Fabric client mod for 1.21.11 – 26.2 with a closed license, so it is not open source. Fake Tier covers only 1.21.11 and is also client-side only, but it is released under the MIT License and is not open source either. dotMod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and runs client-side on Fabric for 1.21.4 – 1.21.11, a wider range than Fake Tier.
