Gambit Client
by Gambit
Gambit Client is a Forge companion that adds a custom player list and a kill feed to the screen of players who join Gambit PvP matches.
What it does
The client side draws presentation features on top of match data that the server sends. Players who connect to a Gambit server see a custom player list overlay with grouped Red and Blue sections for lobby and spectator players, a right-side kill feed filled with structured events, and a scoreboard and bossbar cleanup that keeps only Gambit-specific elements. Synced crawl and downed poses are rendered in first and third person.
The server sends match statistics, including kills, deaths, damage and downs, along with the current Gambit hub, arena, map mode, timer, team and kit information. The client uses that data for its screens, so the displays depend on what the Gambit server is configured to send. Install the same version of the mod on the server and on the connecting client.
Gambit Client targets Forge for 1.20.1 only, with the latest file at 0.6.1 for 1.20.1, published on 2026-09-12. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Servers that run it need every player to install it too.
