STAY IN CHARACTER STANDALONE

A player sets an IC or OOC status for their character, and that status appears above the normal nameplate, before the name in chat and beside the name in the player list. The status is shown to everyone on the server, while the visibility of the markers is a private choice each player makes on their own machine. Custom nameplate events are supported, and the current IC or OOC status stays visible on the nameplate while a player is connected.

The mod is a standalone adaptation of the original Stay Character WCESIC mod, made to work without extra dependencies. It was adapted from a commission and was made public on request, and it is intended for roleplay servers, including ones built around the Warrior Cats setting. Existing Minecraft name formatting is left alone, so team colors and the prefixes and suffixes of players on a given team continue to display as before.

Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, with builds covering 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. The Fabric build for 1.20.1 is a beta debug release, so check the supported Minecraft version and mod loader of any file before installing it. Both the server and each connecting client need the mod, and the mod is released under the MIT License without being open source.
