RankTagger
by volunt766
RankTagger shows each player's PvP rank as a colored tag beside their username, so a rank can be read in the middle of a fight or a lobby.
What it does
When a player joins a server or enters a match, the RankTagger client-side Fabric mod fetches tier data from the RankedTiers API in the background and draws a tag next to the player's nameplate. The data is cached locally and refreshed without a restart or manual reload, so the game does not stop to wait for it. The mod was built by the volunt766 team for the RankedTiers community and is not officially affiliated with RankedTiers.
RankTagger is client-side only, so the server needs no installation and players on a server that does not run it still see nothing extra. It is published for Fabric on 1.21.1 and 1.21.11, with 1.0.0+mc1.21.11 as the latest file. The code is not open source and is licensed as All rights reserved.
Key features
Live rank tags
Each tag shows the player's current tier from the RankedTiers API, updated in real time while players are on screen.
Color-coded tiers
Every tier has its own color, so a T1 veteran and a newcomer can be told apart at a glance in fast fights.
Background fetching
Rank data is requested asynchronously and kept in a local cache, which keeps rank lookups from interrupting play.
Simple configuration
A plain config file controls tag appearance, position and visibility, with no in-game menu needed.
Automatic refresh
Rank data refreshes on its own, so tags stay current during long sessions.
