LegendWatch
by 0utsights
LegendWatch shows which player is carrying a Hoplite legendary craft, placing the legendary icon on nametags and the tab list.
What it does
Hoplite announces legendary crafts in chat. LegendWatch listens for those announcements and attaches a small icon of the crafted legendary to the player who made it, so the icon appears above that player's head and in the tab list. A player who crafts several legendaries shows several icons side by side. The icon set covers 48 legendaries, plus 5 more from the current Hoplite release, and any legendary without an icon falls back to gold text.
LegendWatch tracks transfers as well. When a player is eliminated, the legendaries they carried move to the killer, and the tag shows the new owner. Each round starts empty: when a new match begins, the mod wipes what it has stored, so no legendary from the earlier match carries over. Nothing is sent to a server, and the mod is client-side only, so a player can add it alone while the server runs without it. It is built for the Fabric loader and released under the MIT License, so the code is open source and the source is public.
Key features
Legendary icons on nametags
Icons of each carried legendary appear above the player's head, so a carrier is visible at a distance.
Tab list display
The same icons show in the tab list, letting players see who holds a legendary without reading chat.
Transfers after elimination
When a carrier is eliminated, the legendaries move to the killer and the tag and icons update to match.
Automatic reset per match
Tracked data clears when a new match begins, so earlier rounds do not leak into the next.

A client-side Fabric mod for the Hoplite server. Listens to chat for legendary craft announcements and displays a small icon of the crafted legendary directly on that player's nametag and in the tab list — so you always know who's carrying a legendary without digging through chat.
