Public GUI Announcement
by Team Jackdaw
With Public GUI Announcement installed, a player looking at another player sees a GUI of friends surrounding that player, a simple cosmetic display for Minecraft Java Edition.
What it does
Public GUI Announcement is a cosmetic client and server mod that shows a GUI of friends around the player someone is looking at. The display is meant as a light social touch rather than a gameplay system, and the author describes it as a simple cosmetic mod. Vanilla GUI screens are implemented, and the author reports that the mod works properly when installed on both the server and the client.
The mod requires Fabric API on Fabric. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and the Forge build is currently marked as a beta release. Coverage spans 21 release versions 1.19.3 – 1.21.11, with the latest Fabric and NeoForge files both targeting 1.21.11 and the latest Forge file targeting 1.21.10. The mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and source code and a wiki are linked publicly.
