Occupied
Stop guessing whether that player is AFK, busy, or ignoring you. Occupied shows what other players are actually doing, right above their head next to their name.
What you'll see
State has two independent parts — what screen they're in and whether they've gone idle — so both can show at once, e.g. in a chest · away.
| They're… | You'll see |
|---|---|
| Typing in chat | typing… |
| In their inventory | in their inventory |
| In a chest, barrel, shulker, hopper | in a chest |
| At a crafting table, anvil, furnace, enchanting table, brewing stand… | the specific station |
| Trading with a villager | trading |
| In a menu (pause, map, settings) | in a menu |
| Asleep | asleep |
| No input for a minute | away — on its own, or added to any of the above |
"Away" is detected from all input — movement, looking around, cursor, screen changes — so it still shows even while a container is open, where a player is otherwise standing frozen.
Why it's painless to add
- Client-side only. One-click install, works on any server, and vanilla players see nothing unusual.
- No new rendering. It rides the vanilla name tag, so labels are readable at exactly the distance names are — and it never conflicts with other rendering mods.
- Quiet. A tiny packet is sent only when your state actually changes.
Requirements
- Minecraft 26.1.2
- NeoForge
- Install on every client that wants to see the labels
Roadmap
- Config: which states to show, max distance, text vs icons
- Icons as an alternative to text
- Additional Minecraft versions
