Nova's Teams
by NovaMairon
Nova's Teams adds party groups to Fabric, where members see each other's health, XP, distance and dimension in a customizable HUD.
What it does
Players form a party and follow teammates through a fixed-width panel that tracks their current health, XP, status effects and voice activity. A party can share experience, turn PvP on or off, and challenge friends to duels with a countdown and winner announcements. Offline members keep a dedicated portrait, and the panel shows each teammate's distance in meters.
Team leaders and admins control friendly fire with four modes: toggle, disabled, enabled and reduced, and a duels-only setting limits fights to challenges. Teammate tagging makes marked mobs glow for other members on the client, using the tagger's team color, and world pings on the middle mouse button mark enemies, loot and points of interest with live distance tracking. The HUD can be dragged anywhere, scaled up to 200 percent and adjusted from the in-game Gear screen.
Nova's Teams requires Fabric API, and it runs on Fabric 1.21.1 with 1.4.0 as the latest file, published 2026-08-03. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Builds exist for 1.21 and 1.21.1, and the code is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source. JourneyMap, Mod Menu, Simple Voice Chat, Xaero's Minimap and Xaero's World Map are optional.

How it compares
Simple Voice HUD is a Fabric client-side only mod for 1.21.8, under the MIT License and not open source, so it adds voice indicators without any server part. Nova's Teams also runs on client and server, but it covers party panels, pings and friendly fire in one package. HisokaMarkers is client-side only for 1.21 – 1.21.11 under the MIT License, with no party or PvP control.
