A Fabric mod for Minecraft that shows an animated banner with a player's avatar whenever someone joins or leaves the multiplayer server you're on.
Note: this release targets Minecraft 26.2 specifically (see Requirements below) - it will not load on other versions.
- Detects vanilla "X joined/left the game" messages and shows a banner with the player's avatar and name.
- Banner position: pick from 9 anchor points (corners, edges, center) with a pixel offset, cycled clockwise.
- Size: 5%–20% of your screen height (default 10%), so it scales correctly regardless of resolution or GUI Scale.
- Configurable fade-in / hold / fade-out durations (defaults: 0.5s / 5s / 0.5s).
- Configurable background color and opacity (or fully transparent).
- Multiple banners stack and animate out of the way as new ones arrive; each keeps its own independent fade timing.
- Per-server whitelist: restrict banners to specific players, with a searchable live list of who's currently online to add from, plus manual add/remove.
- In-game settings screen with a live preview - reachable via:
/itsamechat command- An optional keybind (unbound by default - set one in Options → Controls → Key Binds → search "It's a Me")
- ModMenu, if installed (Mods → It's a Me → gear icon)
- A Test button in settings to preview the banner with your own name/skin without waiting for a real join/leave.
