Highlighter

by Nexbit

Highlighter is a Fabric utility that lets a player show only chosen players in the tab list, hiding everyone else from view.

What it does

Highlighter filters the player list shown on the tab screen so that only highlighted players appear. Pressing TAB together with J switches the filter on and off. The mod runs on the client alone, so players install it and servers need nothing extra. Builds cover 1.20.1 – 1.21.11, with the latest file, 3.0.1, targeting 1.21.11 and dated 2026-03-27. Fabric API is required, and Cloth Config API and Mod Menu are optional. The code is not open source, and all rights are reserved.

Key features

  1. Tab list filtering

    Only the players a player chooses to highlight are listed on the tab screen, while the rest of the list is hidden.

  2. Quick toggle

    Pressing TAB and J together switches the filtered view on and off without opening any menu.

  3. Highlighted player selection

    The set of highlighted players can be changed in play, so the filtered tab list follows the group a player is watching.

Questions

Does Highlighter need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency, so it must be installed alongside Highlighter on Fabric.

Do servers need Highlighter installed?

No. Servers do not need it; each player installs it for their own game.

To select players in the tab, open the selection menu (key “K”) and click on the player selection button, there you can create a prefix. If you press the TAB key together with the J key (standard), only the highlighted players will be displayed in the tab
