Simple Status Mod
by LukevonErden
Simple Status Mod lets players set a custom status that other players can see in the chat, tab list and nametag.
What it does
A player sets a status of their own, and that status is shown in the chat, the tab list and above the player's nametag. Each of the three displays can be switched on or off separately, so a server can use only the ones it wants. The length of a status is capped by a value set in the config file.
Statuses accept Minecraft color formatting codes, from 0 to 9 and a to f, plus styles such as bold and italic. Statuses are saved between sessions, so they remain after a restart. The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. It requires Fabric API, and the files are published for Fabric only, in two game versions: 26.2 and 26.3, with 1.1.1 for 26.3 as the latest file. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Custom player statuses
Each player can set a status that belongs to that player alone, and it is kept for the next session.
Chat, tab list and nametag
The status appears in three places, and each place can be enabled or disabled on its own.
Color formatting
Statuses accept Minecraft color codes and style codes, so a status can be colored or formatted.
Configurable length
A maximum status length can be set, which keeps long statuses from crowding the chat or the tab list.
