Server Chat Heads

by Camper_Samu

Server Chat Heads shows player head icons next to chat messages, using placeholders that server owners can place in their chat format on a Fabric or Quilt server.

What it does

Chat lines can display a player's head through placeholders, so a server can show who wrote each message with a small image beside the name. The mod is meant to make player heads part of ordinary chat on the server, and it works through placeholder text rather than separate commands or screens.

Only the server needs the mod, so players join without installing anything. Files are published for Fabric and Quilt across 9 release versions, 1.19.2 – 1.21.1, and the mod bundles Text Placeholder API, which means no separate installation of that library is needed. The code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, with a public source repository, issue tracker and wiki.

Key features

  1. Head icons in chat

    Player heads appear next to chat messages through placeholders the server configures in its chat format.

  2. Placeholder-based setup

    Head display is driven by placeholder text, so server owners decide where and how heads appear in messages.

  3. Bundled placeholder library

    Text Placeholder API is included inside the mod, so the placeholder system works without a separate install.
