Stream Status
by takamiura
Stream Status shows a live indicator next to player names in the multiplayer TAB list while a player is streaming, so others on the server can see who is live.
What it does
Players switch the indicator on and off with the commands streamon and streamoff. While it is on, a live marker appears beside the player's name in the player list, and every other player on the server can see it. The status is stored with the player's data, so it stays set after a logout and is shown again at the next login.
The mod needs Forge and has no other dependencies. It is a client and server mod, so the server and every player need it for the indicator to appear. The code is released under the MIT License and is not open source; the mod may be used, modified and redistributed under those terms.
