friendmarker
by arch-mc
With friendmarker installed, players can mark friends so their armor shows green and their nametags carry an F, which helps avoid confusing allies with enemies in PvP.
What it does
Friends are added to a list with the friend add command, viewed with the friend list command, removed with the friend remove command, and cleared all at once with the friend clear command. Armor worn by a listed friend is drawn in green, and an F is rendered on that friend's nametag, so allies can be told apart from enemies at a glance during PvP.
The overlay color can be changed with a hex value in the settings screen. The mod adds an option to render the chestplate of friends who wear none, and it can keep the marker visible on friends under the invisibility effect. Mod Menu opens the settings screen, and Cloth Config API supplies the options.
friendmarker runs on Fabric for 1.20.1 and 1.21.11, with Cloth Config API, Fabric API and Mod Menu all required. Servers do not need it; each player installs it for their own game. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
