PlayerListHeads
by _PrometheuZ_
PlayerListHeads brings player head icons back to the tab list on servers that run in offline mode, where the feature is usually switched off.
What it does
On offline-mode servers the tab list normally shows player names without head icons. PlayerListHeads changes the client so those heads are drawn beside each name again. The mod works by altering one boolean value inside the code that decides whether heads are rendered, and it is built for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 24 release versions, 1.19.4 – 26.2.
Key features
Heads on offline servers
Player heads appear in the tab list even when the server runs in offline mode, where the feature is usually turned off.
Minimal change
The mod changes a single rendering flag, so its source code stays short and readable for anyone who maintains it.
Fabric, Forge and NeoForge
Files exist for all three loaders, with the latest builds targeting 26.2 on Fabric and 1.21.11 on Forge and NeoForge.
