OnAir - Streaming Status & More!
by AmoAster
OnAir shows a player's streaming status above their head and in the player list, so others can see when they are live, away or recording.
What it does
Players set a status that appears in the tab list and in chat above their character. A status can be a custom prefix such as AFK or BRB, and server owners can define any prefix they want through the config file. When a player links a Twitch channel, the status switches to live automatically while the stream runs.
The mod was made for survival servers in the style of HermitCraft, where players broadcast from their own builds. It needs Fabric Language Kotlin on Fabric and Kotlin for Forge on Forge and NeoForge, and it is published for 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 1.21.4. OnAir is a server mod: players join without installing it, though clients can add it. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Live status from Twitch
A linked Twitch channel sets the player's status to live automatically when the stream starts.
Custom prefixes
Server owners define prefixes and statuses in the config, such as AFK, BRB or a recording label.
Status in the player list
The current status is shown in the player list and above the player's head, so it stays visible during play.
Group recording sessions
The mod can mark a part of the players, such as a group recording together, with a shared status.

Use cases
Broadcasting from a shared world
Players building for a stream on a server can show that the world is being broadcast to everyone else.
Marking away time
A player who steps away can set an AFK or BRB prefix so others know not to expect a reply.
Who it’s for: Server owners running community or broadcast servers, and streamers who play on them and want their status shown to other players.
How it compares
Stream Status is a Forge-only mod for 1.20.1, released under the MIT License, and runs on both client and server. StreamChatBridge is released under the MIT License and covers Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.17.1 – 26.3, but it is client-side only, so it shows chat rather than player statuses on the server.
