Simple Voice Chat Group Player Names
by hennyc
Simple Voice Chat Group Player Names shows each group member's name above their head while they speak in a voice chat group.
What it does
In a Simple Voice Chat group, the names of the other members appear next to their heads, so a speaker can be identified at a glance. The display is drawn only for players in the same group, and it works with the voice chat mod Simple Voice Chat installed on the client.
The mod is a client-side mod, so only the client needs it; servers run without it. Installation needs Fabric API, Simple Voice Chat and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) alongside it. Mod Menu is optional and opens a settings screen inside the game. The mod is available for Fabric and NeoForge, covering game versions 1.21.1 – 26.3 across 16 release versions, and is released under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
