About this Mod
Tab Name Tag mod
No dependencies
This is a client-side mod that replaces the default player name tags (shown above players' heads) with the names shown in the tab list (player list). It ensures that nicknames, prefixes, or team-based colors used in the tab list are also reflected in the in-world name tags. This creates a more unified and consistent look when playing on servers that customize tab list names.
(about forge) If you want to use it with forge, download the forge port (1.20.1). versions other than 1.20.1 are not supported
