TAB Worlds
by k0fey
TAB Worlds changes the player list tab so each entry shows an icon for the dimension that player is currently in, and the icons can be recolored.
What it does
Each player name in the tab list gets a small icon matching the dimension the player occupies, such as the overworld, the Nether or the End. The icons and their colors are set in a config file in the game folder, and gradients are available for the color settings. A player can turn the icons off through the config or with a command.
The mod needs ImmediatelyFast on NeoForge, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files exist only for NeoForge 1.21.1, with 1.1 as the latest file, published on 2026-05-05. The license is MIT, and the project is not open source.
