Danger Mod
by BIGBOIBEEF
Danger Mod, a Fabric social mod, lets a player track nearby players, their pings and their team status while playing in multiplayer.
What it does
Players can see how many other players are close by and get alerts when someone enters their render distance. A GUI lists nearby players alongside their ping, and a teammates list tracks which nearby players are on the same team, so a player knows who is in range without checking the tab list.
The mod is client-side only, so only the player's own game needs it and servers run without it. Files are published for Fabric alone, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.5 as the latest file, and the builds cover 1.21 – 1.21.5 across six release versions. The license is Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0, and the code is not open source, though public links exist for the source code and the issue tracker.
Key features
Render distance alerts
A notice appears when a player enters the render distance, so nearby arrivals are noticed without watching the screen.
Nearby player count
The number of players close to the local player is shown on screen, updated as people move in and out of range.
Nearby player GUI
A screen lists nearby players together with their ping, making latency comparable across the group.
Teammates list
Teammates who are nearby are added to and removed from a list, and pinged players can be tracked the same way.
Toggles and binds
Check and mode toggles switch features on and off, and a key binding display shows which keys trigger them.

Use cases
Group play on busy servers
On a crowded server, the nearby count and render distance alerts help a player keep track of who is around.
Team coordination
The teammates list and nearby pings give a squad a shared view of where its members are.
Who it’s for: Players who join multiplayer servers with many participants, and players who coordinate in small teams and want nearby presence shown in their own client.
How it compares
Render Toggle is open source under the MIT License and covers 1.21 – 1.21.11 on Fabric, client-side only, so it toggles rendering rather than tracking players. Near Player is also client-side only and open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.21 – 1.21.11 on Fabric, and it focuses on nearby players. Teammates is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later, client-side only, and covers 1.21 – 1.21.8 on Fabric.
