Pot Counter Nametag
by lyrotz
Pot Counter Nametag shows a live countdown above a tracked player's name, counting down the healing splash potions that player has left.
What it does
A player comes into tracking automatically when they stand within 64 blocks, and the counter starts from a starting number set in the settings screen. Each thrown Instant Health splash potion ticks the number down by one. A live countdown number is drawn above each tracked player's name, in one of seven rainbow colours the user selects, and it appears on vanilla nametags as well as on the custom holograms and text displays that some servers use. Some PvP servers replace vanilla nametags, and the mod still shows its number there.
Tracking runs in the background, so a player can keep playing while the counter updates. A manual estimate lets a player keep a count without relying on inventory reading, which is useful on PvP servers where knowing how many heals remain matters. The counter resets on its own when a tracked player dies, leaves range or is teleported over a large distance, and a manual reset key restores the starting count for a clean slate. Pot Counter Nametag is client-side only, so the server does not need it. It is published for Fabric and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Files exist for 1.21.11 and 26.1.2, with 1.0.1 as the latest file.

This is not real inventory reading. You set a starting number in the settings screen, and that number ticks down by 1 every…
