What it does

Showdium builds on Noxesium, which gives server creators control over client-side behavior that normally sits outside their reach. Players need Fabric API, Noxesium and the Fabric Loader installed on the client before Showdium can run, and Sodium is an optional addition that can be paired with it. The mod runs on the client alone, so a server only has to be set up with Noxesium for its features to become available.

Showdium introduces a suite of features that a server can enable and control. A location ping system lets a player mark a spot in the world and send it to other players, and users of Showdium can show a colored player head. Developers who work with Noxesium can also use the Showdium entrypoint to add their own extra features on top of the framework.

The project is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, with a public source code repository and issue tracker. Files are published for Fabric alone, covering game versions 1.21.8, 1.21.11 and 26.2, with 1.0.4 for 26.2 as the latest file, released on 2026-07-12.

Key features

  1. Location ping

    Players can ping a location in the world and send it to other players, marking a point for the group.

  2. Colored player heads

    Showdium users can display a colored player head, making their identity easier to spot in a crowd.

  3. Server-controlled features

    The suite of features is enabled and managed by a server running Noxesium, rather than set by each player alone.

  4. Noxesium entrypoint

    A dedicated entrypoint lets developers add their own features to Showdium through the Noxesium framework.
