What it does

Players who join servers that publish tier rankings see small gamemode badges drawn beside each nametag and in the tablist. The badges update while the client runs, so a player's combat or gamemode tier stays visible without opening a separate screen. The icons are read through the RearMC API, which supplies the tier data the mod displays.

The mod runs on the client only, so servers need nothing installed and players alone decide whether to use it. It is built for Fabric and has files for Minecraft 1.21 – 1.21.4, with 1.0.0-mc1.21.1 as the latest build, published on 2026-08-07. The code is not open source, and all rights are reserved by the author, TejasGenZ.

The author notes that the client keeps a cache of tier lookups that is read and written without blocking the main game thread, and that in-game notices appear when new GitHub updates are released. The mod does not add items, blocks or commands, and it does not change how the world generates.

Key features

  1. Gamemode tier icons

    Small icons for each player's gamemode tier appear above their nametag, drawn from the RearMC API data.

  2. Tablist tier display

    The same tier badges are shown in the player list, so tiers are readable while the list is open.

  3. Asynchronous tier cache

    Lookups are stored in a cache that is accessed off the main thread, which keeps the frame rate steady during play.

  4. Update notifications

    An in-game message reports new GitHub releases of the mod, so players see when a newer build exists.
