Teammates
by SorkoPiko
Teammates shows the positions of other players in a team on screen, with marker arrows and nameplates that can be customized.
What it does
Teammates displays marker arrows for other players on the same team, so a teammate can be located even when it is outside the normal view. Each teammate can get a nameplate that shows the distance to it, and the marker scale, the nameplate layout and the visibility of the markers can all be changed. The mod also notes which servers a teammate supports.
The mod is client-side only, so players install it alone and servers do not need it. It is published for Fabric only, across nine game versions 1.21 – 1.21.8, and its latest Fabric file targets 1.21.8. Teammates requires YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL), and Mod Menu is optional for opening its settings from the mod list. The code is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later.
