Dimension Colors
by Joyedlion
Dimension Colors changes the color of player names by the dimension they are in, so anyone on a server can see where each player is at a glance.
What it does
The mod is a datapack that recolors player names according to the dimension a player occupies, with a distinct color for each of the three main dimensions. It is aimed at multiplayer servers and singleplayer worlds where knowing a friend's location is useful. Server owners install the datapack on the server, which is the side that needs it; players may add the client-side part but do not have to.
Dimension Colors is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt as well as a data pack. Its files cover 1.20.5 – 26.1, with 1.0+mod for 26.1 as the latest file, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Dimension-based name colors
Player names take a color that matches the dimension, green for the Overworld, red for the Nether and purple for the End.
Location at a glance
Players see which dimension a friend is in by reading the color of their name, without opening a map or asking.
Datapack design
The change is delivered as a datapack, so it adds no new blocks, items or menus to the game.
