NeonTiersTagger
by NeonGamer322
NeonTiersTagger shows each player's skill tier above their name in the Minecraft tab list and over their head, with color-coded tags for the tiers.
What it does
Tier tags are drawn above the player's nickname, reading Tier PlayerName, with colors that run from gray at the low tiers to gold at the top bracket. Players whose tier is not yet known keep a plain name, and the tag does not flicker back to a Loading... label while the data arrives. The mod also draws a rank that is shown next to the name in the NeonTiers ranking.
Lookups are stored locally and renewed in a background thread, so gameplay continues while a network call is still outstanding. An optional marking can flag retired players with a distinct tag, and the ELO value is shown alongside the tier where the data provides it. The mod is client-side only: a server does not need it, and players join servers without installing anything.
The mod needs Fabric Loader 0.18.1 or newer, Fabric API and Cloth Config API. Mod Menu is optional and gives access to a configuration screen where the request timeout, cache duration and debug logging can be adjusted. Files cover 1.21.9 – 1.21.11; the latest Fabric file, 2.2 for 1.21.11, was published 2026-08-20. The code is covered by All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
Key features
Tier tags above names
Each tagged player shows a Tier label with the player's name, colored by skill bracket.
Background result cache
Cached tier data gets refreshed behind the scenes, which means play is not held up waiting on a network response.
Stable tag display
Tags keep their last known value rather than flickering back to a loading placeholder.
Retired player marking
An optional flag gives retired players a separate tag, so their past ranking is still visible.
Configurable request settings
The request timeout, cache duration and debug logging can be changed in the in-game Mod Menu screen.
