WhatYourPronouns
by enimaloc
WhatYourPronouns shows each player's pronouns next to their name, using entries fetched from PronounDB for that player's Minecraft UUID.
What it does
Pronouns appear in the chat tab, above the head, in the player tab list and on the social interactions screen. The display is added to the name wherever the game shows it, so a player's pronouns can be read before a conversation starts. The mod works with the reworked Minecraft PronounDB integration and includes a panel for Enhanced Player List when that mod is installed on NeoForge.
Lookups are cached, and they resolve asynchronously, so gameplay does not wait for a network call. The mod is client-side only: a player installs it, and a server does not need it. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge across 7 release versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, and the code is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, which makes it open source.
Key features
Chat tab pronouns
Pronouns are shown beside player names in the chat tab, so messages carry the same labels as the rest of the interface.
Above-head display
A player's pronouns can be seen above their head in the world, next to the name tag.
Tab list and social screen
The same pronouns appear in the player tab list and on the social interactions screen.
Cached PronounDB lookups
Entries are fetched by Minecraft UUID and cached after they resolve, so repeat views do not need a new request.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Multiplayer chat
Players on a server can see each other's pronouns in chat and in the tab list before addressing someone.
Enhanced Player List
With Enhanced Player List installed on NeoForge, the mod adds its pronouns panel to that player list.
Who it’s for: Players who want to see pronouns in multiplayer or single-player games, and players who already use PronounDB and want its entries in the game interface.
