ForceTablistHeads
With ForceTablistHeads, player heads stay visible in the tab list on servers running in offline mode, where that feature is usually disabled.
What it does
The mod is a lightweight Fabric mod that restores player heads next to player names in the tab list. It changes one boolean value used when deciding whether to render heads, applied through a Mixin, so offline-mode servers show heads like online ones. Only the client needs it; servers run without it. Builds exist for Fabric across 23 release versions, 1.20 – 26.2, under the MIT License, which is open source.
Key features
Heads in offline mode
Player heads appear in the tab list even when the server runs in offline mode.
Minimal Mixin change
A single boolean used for head rendering is modified, leaving the rest of the tab list untouched.
Readable source
The source code is kept short and straightforward, so its logic can be followed and maintained.
