Know My Name!
Know My Name! fixes nameable containers so that a barrel's custom name reaches every client that joins the server.
What it does
Nameable containers such as barrels keep their custom names when players re-join a multiplayer server. Without the fix, a different player who joins later can see the container without its name, so the server has to tell each client about the name. The mod handles this on the server side, and it works out of the box with no setup needed. It runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. Files are published for Fabric only, across 8 release versions 1.18.2 – 1.21.1, under the MIT License, and the source code is open.
Key features
Container names sync
Custom names on nameable containers are sent to clients, so a barrel placed with a name shows that name to everyone.
Fix for rejoining players
A player who re-joins or a different player who joins later still sees the correct name on the container.
Works out of the box
No configuration is needed; the fix takes effect once the mod is on the server.
