PlayerAlerts
by sleepyluxts
PlayerAlerts warns a client-side user when other players enter render distance, so a player can notice nearby players before they get close.
What it does
On the client, PlayerAlerts watches for other players entering render distance and shows a notification when one does. The alert gives a player time to react before an opponent reaches them, which is useful in Lifesteal, SMP, UHC and PvP play. Several alert modes can be chosen, and the interface is kept minimal so it stays out of the way during a fight.
The mod requires Fabric API. Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) are optional: Mod Menu adds an integration entry point, and YACL provides a configuration screen. PlayerAlerts is client-side only, so servers run without it and players install it alone. It is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker. Files target Fabric for 1.21 – 1.21.10, and the latest file is 2.1 for 1.21.10, published 2025-10-14. The first file was published on 2025-09-08.
