Ever joined a server and wondered "Have I seen this person before?" MetBefore remembers for you.
The mod records every player you share a server with. The next time you meet them, a toast notification appears with their name, meet count, last seen date, and server.
What you get
- HUD notifications - toast with the player's head, name, meet count, and server pops up when you see someone you've met before
- Player history - searchable list of every player you've encountered, with sorting and filters (press L to open)
- Player details - full info per player: timestamps, servers, meet history timeline, and personal notes
- Bulk delete - select multiple players and delete them at once
- Watchlist - choose to only get notified about specific players
FAQ
