Entity Owner
by xcheezie
With Entity Owner installed, a player can see who owns a tamed pet, a fired projectile or a lit TNT block, shown as a label above the entity.
What it does
The client-side Fabric mod shows the owner of an entity or projectile as a nametag-style label above it. Tamed pets, including cats, wolves and parrots, get an Owner label, and projectiles display the player who launched them. Lit TNT and some entities from other features are labeled too, and trusted players can be shown for animals such as foxes and bees that stay angry or cannot be tamed by their owner.
Labels can be configured in several ways: always shown, shown only when the player looks at the entity, or rendered through walls. Each entity type has its own toggle, and a YACL config screen opens from Mod Menu. Horse-family mobs are disabled by default, because vanilla syncs their owner data to multiplayer clients only in limited form, so the mod works mainly in single player for those. Entity Owner is client-side only, so a server does not need it. It is published for Fabric across 6 release versions, 1.21.11 – 26.3, under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features

Pets, fired projectiles and lit TNT display the name of the player who owns or launched them, shown above the entity.
Display modes
Labels can always show, appear only when the player looks at the entity, or render through walls.
Per-entity toggles
Each entity type can be switched on or off separately, so only the wanted labels stay visible.
