Transparency Player
by httpsflood
Transparency Player lets each player set how see-through other players look in third-person view, using a slider from 0 to 100 percent.
What it does
A player can change how transparent other players appear when viewed from the third-person camera. The adjustment is made with a slider that runs from 0 to 100 percent, and the setting can be applied to other players, to oneself, or to both. The options are separate, so a player can make others fade while keeping their own character fully visible.
The configuration screen opens with the O key and can be reached at any time during play, so changes take effect without restarting the game. The screen is built with Cloth Config API, which provides the layout and the sliders. Fabric API is also required. The mod is distributed for Fabric only, with a single build, 1.0.0 for 1.21.5, released on 2025-04-21 and last updated on the same date.
Transparency Player runs on the client alone and is released under the MIT License, with its source code publicly available. Installing it on a server is not needed, and joining a server does not require it.
