Set Player Status
by megneko
Set Player Status lets each player show a short status tag that appears beside their name in chat and in the tab list.
What it does
Players choose a status with commands such as DND, live, AFK or exploring, and can also set a custom text. The selected status is shown as a small prefix before the player name in chat and in the tab list. The mod is a lightweight NeoForge addition that runs on the server side only, so players join without installing it. It is built for 1.21.1, with the latest file dated 2026-08-31 and released under the MIT License, which is not an open source license.
Modpacks such as Cobblemon are listed as compatible, and the project has been set up to work in-game with them. Only the server needs the mod to show the tags.
