Player Head Hud

by ModdedMITE

Player Head Hud draws a clean head display above nearby players in MITE 1.6.4, so they are easier to spot and recognize.

What it does

By default the display shows only the player's avatar above their head. Hovering the crosshair over a head, or moving closer, expands the label to show the player's name and distance. When an obstruction blocks the view, the name appears automatically once the player is close enough.

Heads scale with distance while keeping a minimum size, and distant heads can be softened with a distance-based blur. The mod loads real player skins and falls back to the default Steve head when a skin is unavailable. Players can choose between the head display and the vanilla name display. It runs on the client alone and requires FishModLoader, which it replaces and supplements. Only the client needs it, and it is released under the MIT License as open source.

Files are published for Legacy Fabric for 1.6.4, with 0.0.1 as the latest build from July 12, 2026 on the beta channel. The source code and issue tracker are public.

Key features

  1. Avatar display

    Nearby players show their head above them by default, with no extra text on screen.

  2. Name and distance on demand

    Aiming at a head or moving closer reveals the player's name and distance.

  3. Scaling heads

    Heads shrink with distance but keep a minimum size so they stay readable.

  4. Real skins

    Player skins are shown where available, with the default Steve head as a fallback.

Questions

Does Player Head Hud need FishModLoader?

Yes. The mod requires FishModLoader and replaces parts of its display, so FishModLoader must be installed alongside it.

Does a server need Player Head Hud installed?

No. Servers do not need it; each player installs it for their own game.

Can the name display be switched off?

Yes. A player can change the display to the vanilla name view instead of the head display.
