About this Mod

adds client side join and leave messages to your game.

Config Screen

in the config accessed by pressing J(remappable) you can customize the specified things:

color
if prefix shows
kill switch
not show messages if server already sent them
turn on gamemode messages tells you when someone switches gamemodes (can make it so it only shows for spectator)

Gamemode Tracker

keeps track of player's gamemodes in a server
can notify you what gamemode players are in upon joining a server & filter to a specific gamemode
/gamemodecheck command to see the current gamemode of a specified player.

NOTICE: The gamemode tracking relies on packets sent by the server and may not work on some servers.

I've always disliked when servers do not show join/leave messages for certain people or ever. This mod prevents that and adds client side join and leave messages.
