English

A small Fabric client mod: when you press F5 to switch to third-person, you can see your own nickname floating above your head, just like every other player on the server.

Controls

N — toggle the mod on/off (saved to config/selfnametag.json).

Behaviour

Active only on the client (server is untouched).
Shows the nametag only for the local player and only when the camera is not in first-person.
Uses your existing display name (with team prefixes/colors) if applicable.

Русский

Клиентский Fabric-мод: когда нажимаешь F5 (третье лицо), над твоей головой виден твой собственный ник — как у всех остальных игроков на сервере.

Управление

N — включить / выключить мод (состояние сохраняется в config/selfnametag.json).

Поведение

Только клиент. Сервер не затрагивается.
Никнейм показывается только для локального игрока и только если камера не в первом лице.
Используется отображаемое имя игрока (с префиксами/цветами команды), если они есть.
