Swift Tiers
by zexn
Swift Tiers is a Fabric client mod that shows custom PvP tier prefixes, gamemode icons and colored gradients next to player names in chat, tab lists and nameplates.
What it does
The mod is a client-side tier tagger that attaches PvP tier prefixes to players, with nine gamemodes and ten color gradients to choose from. Tier data is synced live, so changes show up without restarting the game. It needs ukulib installed alongside it, and files are published for Fabric only.
Tiers appear in the places a player reads names: chat messages, the player list, the tab overlay and nameplates above heads. Because it is client-side only, the server does not need to run anything, and players join servers without installing it on their side. Files exist for five release versions, 1.21.11 and 26.1 – 26.2, with 1.0 for 26.2 as the latest build from 2026-06-18. The code is licensed under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Dynamic tier prefixes
Each player's PvP tier is drawn as a prefix that updates as the tier data changes.
Nine gamemodes
Tiers are grouped by gamemode, and each gamemode has its own icon to tell the rankings apart.
Ten color gradients
Prefixes can be shown in one of ten color gradients, so tiers stand out in busy chat.
Live syncing
Tier information is pulled while the game runs, so a rank change appears without a reload.

Use cases
Reading tiers in chat
Players see a tier beside a name in chat messages, so the rank of a speaker is visible before a reply.
Scanning the player list
Tab-list and nameplate prefixes show tiers for everyone nearby or online without opening a menu.
Who it’s for: Players on PvP servers that publish tier rankings, who want those rankings visible in chat, the player list and above heads.
