Status Player
by Teufel
Status Player lets players set short colored status text that appears above their names in the TAB list and in nametags.
What it does
Players set a short status line with color, and it shows above their name in the TAB list. Built-in and custom color presets are available, and a server can set per-world status color overrides. A status history keeps earlier entries, with cooldowns and a timed reset for the status text.
A bare status command opens a beginner-friendly GUI, and an admin GUI lets moderators check player statuses. Mute lists, block lists and per-player badges are part of the social features. Players can also run the mod on a Minecraft server, where it stores its data in local JSON files. Optional dashboard sync can be enabled for a web view.
The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across seven release versions, 1.21.10 – 26.3, and is open source under the MIT License. Either side can run it, and neither needs it.

Use cases
Server community hubs
Server owners can give players a visible status in the TAB list, with admins checking entries through the admin GUI.
Single-player and LAN play
Players on a client alone can set statuses and use the self menu, since the mod runs without a server.
Who it’s for: Players who want short custom status lines in the TAB list and server owners who want to manage them through an admin menu.
