SeeU
by Cat4blep
SeeU lets a player see other players who are beyond the normal entity tracking distance, drawing them as proxies with their pose, name and held items.
What it does
Distant players are shown outside the range vanilla tracks, so a player far across the map stays visible. Each proxy keeps the remote player's pose, yaw, pitch and name, and renders held items and armor. Riders appear on their vehicles, so a player in a boat is drawn in the boat rather than standing in the air.
The mod is a client and server environment, so both the server and every player need it, and it is published for Fabric and NeoForge. It also works with Paper, Spigot, Bukkit and Purpur as a server platform, and a Fabric client can join a Paper server that has the SeeU plugin. It is compatible with Voxy. Changing settings in the GUI, opened with F8, is sent to the server immediately, and a reconnect is required for some changes. The license is a custom one, and the code is not open source.

Use cases
Large multiplayer maps
On a big server, players spread far apart can still see each other without walking to the same spot.
Tracking travellers
A player following someone across the world can keep them in view at long range.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric or NeoForge who play on servers with large distances between players, and server owners who run the mod on Paper, Spigot, Bukkit or Purpur.
How it compares
Render Distant Players is client and server on Fabric and Forge, open source under the MIT License and published for 1.19.2 – 1.20.1, so it covers older versions than SeeU. Visible Block Entities is client-side only, open source under the MIT License and published for Fabric and NeoForge across 1.21 – 1.21.9, which suits players who only need block entities. Far Block Entity Rendering is client-side only with a custom license and is not open source, covering 1.21.10 – 26.3 on Fabric.
