Francusksi Client Notes

What was built

• Server-side Fabric mod for 1.20.4 that adds configurable player nametags and tracer visuals for nearby players.
• Nametags show health, nearest-player distance hint, armor summary, and main/off-hand items; a below-name heart counter is also created when enabled.
• Optional action bar feed shows per-viewer details (distance, health, loadout) for players within the configured range.
• Tracers draw colored particle lines from each player to others in range on a configurable cadence.

Usage

• Drop the JAR into your Fabric server mods folder and start the server once to generate config/francusksiclient.json.
• Edit the config to toggle features (nametagsEnabled, tracersEnabled, actionBarSummary) and adjust range, update intervals, colors, and what data is shown (health, armor, held items, distance).
• Defaults: 64 block range, nametag updates every second, tracer updates every 10 ticks with aqua lines, action bar summaries for up to three nearby players.

Implementation details and notes

• Nametags rely on dedicated scoreboard teams per player plus a below-name health objective; tags include armor/main/off-hand text and a nearest-player distance hint. Action bar summaries provide precise viewer-to-target distances.
• Tracers use Dust particles along eye-to-eye lines; colors and segment counts are configurable.
• Teams and objectives are refreshed automatically on joins/leaves; the mod runs only on the dedicated server side.

Limitations / future ideas

• Nametag distance uses the closest other player rather than per-viewer distance; precise distances are shown in the action bar feed instead.
• Heavy particle usage at very high player counts or low intervals could add visual noise; tweak tracer intervals/segments or disable tracers if needed.
