TabFaces
TabFaces puts player heads in the tab list, so the server menu and chat show who is online with their skins.
What it does
On 1.7.10 the mod backports the player faces tab menu and adds faces to the server selection menu. Faces also appear in chat, and the tab menu and server selection screen show population information in a tooltip. The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need it and players join without installing anything. It is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and is open source.
TabFaces requires UniMixins, which must be installed alongside it. Its prior versions required CarbonConfig instead, so older setups may still need that library. Compatibility with SkinPort and FentLib is optional and adds skin support when those mods are present. Better Ping Display works alongside it. Files exist only for Forge and only for 1.7.10, with 1.0.16 as the latest file, published on 2026-05-31. The project first appeared on 2025-04-09 and has a public source code repository and issue tracker.

Use cases
Servers with online-mode accounts
The author reports testing on a clean server treated with authlib-injector and says it works with Wawel Auth, so players can see skins that match their account.
Who it’s for: Players on 1.7.10 who want player heads in the tab list, server menu and chat. Server owners can enable a debug mode in the config that adds team members, tests width handling and registers a cleanup command.
How it compares
Better Ping Display is also client-side only, open source under the MIT License and available for Forge and NeoForge across 1.7.10 – 1.21.11, so it can sit beside TabFaces. TabListExtension targets 1.19.2 – 1.20.1 on Forge with a client and server environment, and it is open source under the MIT License. TabFaces covers only 1.7.10 on Forge.
