My Name Tag

by platten

My Name Tag shows the player's own name above their character when the game is viewed from third person, a view the default client does not label this way.

FabricClient-side onlyAll rights reserved26.2

What it does

Once installed, the mod draws the player's own name tag on their character while the camera sits behind them in third-person view. It only affects the local client, so only the player who installs it sees the change, and it requires Fabric API to load. Mod Menu is optional and, when present, gives access to a toggle that switches the feature off.

The mod is a small utility for Fabric on game version 26.2. Players add it to their own game, and a server needs no copy. Files are published for 26.2 only, with 1.0.0 as the latest file dated 2026-07-14. The code is not open source and is released under All rights reserved, and the first and last update both date from 2026-07-14.
