Locator Name Tags
by 1Influence
Locator Name Tags shows each player's own nickname above the markers of the locator bar, so a marker can be matched to a person at a glance.
What it does
Players set a nickname for each marker, and the name is drawn above the marker on the locator bar. Only the client needs the mod: a player who installs it sees the names, while the server and other players do not have to run anything. Files are published for Fabric alone, for 1.21.6 and 1.21.7, with 0.1 for 1.21.7 as the latest build, marked as a beta release.
Key features
Named markers
Each marker on the locator bar can carry a nickname that appears above it.
Nickname rendering
Names are drawn above markers as they move along the bar, so a specific player is found without reading every marker.
Targeted tracking
The nicknames make it simpler to follow one particular player through a crowd or across a large map.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
How it compares
