Show me your nickname
by tenduuuu
Show me your nickname lets a player on the client see the nickname of another player they are looking at, from up to 512 blocks away.
What it does
Once the mod is installed, the nickname of a player in the crosshair is displayed when the player right-clicks them, and the view distance for this check is capped at 512 blocks. Players can switch the feature with the playertarget commands: playertarget off disables it, playertarget toggle flips its status, and playertarget reports the current state. The mod is Client-side only, so only the client needs it and servers run without it. It is released under the Apache License 2.0 and is not open source, and it targets 1.21.11 with a Fabric build.
