PlayerPrefixes

by LucasEDVK

PlayerPrefixes lets server owners and players attach a prefix to a name shown in the name tag and tab list.

FabricClient-side onlyCustom license1.21.11 – 26.3

What it does

Prefixes are added to how a player's name appears above the head and in the tab list, so other players can see the label next to the name. The mod runs only on the client, so players install it and servers do not need it. It requires Fabric API and is published for Fabric across six game versions, 1.21.11 – 26.3, under a custom license that is not open source. Mod Menu is optional and is needed only to open the config screen. MidnightLib is bundled inside the jar.

Key features

  1. Name tag prefixes

    A prefix is drawn before the player name above the character's head.

  2. Tab list prefixes

    The same prefix is shown in the player list opened with the Tab key.

  3. Config screen

    A configuration screen opens through Mod Menu, where prefix settings can be changed.

Questions

Does PlayerPrefixes need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency and must be installed next to PlayerPrefixes.

Does a server need PlayerPrefixes installed?

No. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing.
