Pumpkin Hide
by kalempurt
Pumpkin Hide stops a player's name tag from showing while that player wears a carved pumpkin, and it is a server-side Fabric mod for 26.2.
What it does
When a player puts a carved pumpkin on their head, the server hides that player's name tag. Once the pumpkin is taken off, the name tag comes back on its own, with no extra step from the player. The behavior is applied automatically to everyone on the server.
The mod needs only the server to run it, so players join without installing anything. It works in multiplayer without any configuration. The code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and the only published files target Fabric for 26.2, with 0.1.3 as the latest beta release from 2026-07-25.

How it compares
Smash Pumpkins works on Fabric for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, with the server required and the client optional, and it is not open source. Data Driven Locator Bar Hiding targets Fabric for 1.21.9 – 26.2 and is server-side only, but it is not open source either. No Pumpkin Overlay (MOD) is client-side only and covers 1.20.1 – 26.2, so it changes what a player sees instead of the server's name tags.
