Player Tags, Prefixes & Health
Minecraft multiplayer servers thrive on identity. Whether you run a bustling survival realm or a tight-knit creative community, giving players recognizable tags and visible health bars transforms the experience. The Player Tags, Prefixes & Health add-on delivers exactly that with minimal fuss. It is a lightweight utility that combines two powerful features: custom nicknames with prefixes and a toggleable health display. No bloat, no complicated configs, just practical tools for server owners and players alike.
What Does This Add-On Do?
At its core, this mod splits into two distinct modules. The first, labeled MORI, handles nicknames and prefixes. The second, KUKI, focuses on showing player health. Together, they give you full control over how names appear in the game world and how much information you can see about nearby players.
MORI: Nickname and Prefix System
Server owners will appreciate the straightforward command structure. You do not need to edit files or restart the server constantly. Everything happens in-game through chat commands. Here is how it works:
- /nickchange "player name" "tag to add" - Adds a tag next to the selected player's name. For example, typing /nickchange Steve [MINER] will display Steve as [MINER]Steve in the tab list and above their head.
- /nickchange default "old player name" - Resets a single player's tag back to their original name.
- /nickchange alldefault - Wipes all custom tags across the server in one go. Perfect for seasonal resets or when you want a clean slate.
- /nickmeter "on" or "off" - Adds a player counter next to names, like Player#1 or Player#X. This is great for events, mini-games, or simply tracking who joined first. Note that this particular feature does not work with the Fabric version of the mod.
The MORI module works on both client and server. If you own a server, simply upload the file to the server directory. Players do not need to install anything on their end, which removes a major barrier to adoption. If you are playing on a single-player world or a server you do not control, you can install it on your client, and it will function for your view.
KUKI: Health Display at a Glance
The KUKI module is a client-side feature. You only need to install it on your own game; it works on all servers without any server-side setup. Once installed, press the F7 key to activate the health display. This shows the health of all players within a 5-block radius of you. Press F7 again to hide it. This is invaluable for PvP arenas, team-based battles, or just checking if your friend is about to die from fall damage. The radius is intentionally short to keep the HUD clean and performance impact negligible.
Supported Versions and Loaders
This add-on is designed for modern Minecraft versions and is available for both Forge and Fabric loaders. The Fabric version supports all core features, with the exception of the /nickmeter counter. For the complete experience, including the player counter, the Forge version is recommended. Always check the mod page for the specific Minecraft version you are running, as updates roll out periodically to match new game releases.
Why Use Player Tags, Prefixes & Health ?
Customization is the lifeblood of a memorable server. Tags like [VIP], [Builder], or [Champion] instantly communicate roles and achievements. They also add a layer of fun; imagine a player named [Taco]Steve or [Wizard]Alex. The health display adds a tactical layer, letting you coordinate healing or attacks with precision. Because the mod is lightweight, it does not bog down your server tick rate or client FPS, making it suitable for large multiplayer lobbies.

How to Install
Installation is straightforward. First, ensure you have the correct loader (Forge or Fabric) installed for your Minecraft version. Download the mod file and place it in your .minecraft/mods folder for client-side use. For server-side installation, drop the same file into your server's mods folder. Restart the game or server, and you are ready to go.
