StatusTag
by Mcjunky33
StatusTag lets server admins and players create colored status tags that appear as prefixes above player names through Minecraft's scoreboard team system.
What it does
Status tags are defined once and then assigned to players. Each tag is shown as a colored prefix on the player's nametag, built on the scoreboard team system that vanilla already uses, so other scoreboard-based tools can coexist with it. Tags and every player assignment are written to statustag.json and loaded again when the server starts, so nothing has to be reassigned after a restart.
The mod runs on the server alone and changes nothing on the client side, so players join without installing it. It is published for Fabric only, in builds for 1.21.10 and 1.21.11, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest file. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the README includes a German version of its description.
Key features
Custom status tags
Admins and players can create their own status tags and choose the text that appears in them.
Assigning tags to players
A tag can be given to the player who created it or to other players on the server.
Minecraft text colors
Tags can use the standard Minecraft formatting colors, from black and dark blue up through gold, gray and yellow to white.
Saved and restored tags
Statuses and player assignments are saved to statustag.json automatically and restored when the server starts.

Use cases
Server rank labels
Server owners can mark staff, builders or event hosts with a colored prefix that every player sees above the name.
Player-made statuses
Players on a server that allows it can create tags for their own roles and assign them to friends.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want colored name prefixes without writing their own scoreboard code, and communities that already use the scoreboard for other purposes and want tags that work alongside it.
How it compares
Rank System is a server-side mod with a wider reach, published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.21 – 1.21.11, under the MIT License, though it is not open source. Better Scoreboard is client-side only, under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, and is not open source, and it is published for Fabric 1.21.11 only. ChromaAnvils works on either side, and neither needs it, is open source under the MIT License and covers 1.21 – 26.2 on Fabric.
