Hello everyone, i am a beginner mod developer, and i made a client-sided mod for a multiplayer server. 
And i was wondering, can i add a feature, that shows other players, that uses my mod? 
Like in lunar client, you can see a tiny logo near a player name.

I don't know, how can it be realised (maybe put some information in player entity, like nbt, that others mod users can read), please help!

I figured out how to do this by myself, so I will post it here for everybody.

So basically what I did is I created a RestApi with python, and a database on mysql.
Than on ServerJoinEvent (and once in 5 minutes in-game) i send a query to my restapi (like domain/userTick?=[uuid, player_name]), that's adding a row to my table.
And every player also every 5 minutes requests a query (like domain/getActiveUsers), that returns all rows in database where TIMEDIFF <= 5 minutes.

So than i just change tab list and display name of every player that is in my ActiveUsers list. It is a little bit tricky, but works well enough! No server support needed!

You need to get people's informed permission to collect data about them.

And having an open rest endpoint that anybody can query isn't good either (even if the data might seem trivial).

Boilerplate:

If you don't post your logs/debug.log we can't help you. For curseforge you need to enable the forge debug.log in its minecraft settings. You should also post your crash report if you have one.

If there is no error in the log file and you don't have a crash report then post the launcher_log.txt from the minecraft folder. Again for curseforge this will be in your curseforge/minecraft/Install

Large files should be posted to a file sharing site like https://gist.github.com  You should also read the support forum sticky post.

Well, i guess you can add text to mcmod.info, but actually nobody cares) If you using a mod and see other players with same mod, it must have some kind of data collection

And also nobody sees what queries are sent to api, so they can't abuse it if done correctly

    • Betafort Recovery has emerged as a prominent figure in the realm of cryptocurrency recovery, gaining a reputation for their exceptional ability to retrieve lost Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies. Their expertise and track record have made them a beacon of hope for individuals facing the distressing situation of lost or inaccessible crypto assets.  
    • When you name a method like that, with no return value, it is a constructor. The constructor must have the same name as the class it constructs, in this case, ModItems. I would strongly advise reading up on some basic Java tutorials, because you will definitely be running into a lot more issues as you go along without the basics. *I should also add that the Forge documentation is a reference, not a tutorial. Even following tutorials, you should know Java basics, otherwise the smallest of mistakes will trip you up as you copy someone elses code.
    • so, I'm starting modding and I'm following the official documantation for forge: https://docs.minecraftforge.net, but in the registries part it is not working as it is in the docs:   public class ModItems { private static final DeferredRegister<Item> ITEMS = DeferredRegister.create(ForgeRegistries.ITEMS, DarkStarvation.MOD_ID); public static final RegistryObject<Item> TEST_ITEM = ITEMS.register("test_item", () -> new Item(new Item.Properties())); public DarkStarvation(FMLJavaModLoadingContext context) { ITEMS.register(context.getModEventBus()); } } in 'public DarkStarvation(...' the DarkStarvation has this error: Invalid method declaration; return type required and the getModEventBus(): Cannot resolve method 'getModEventBus' in 'FMLJavaModLoadingContext' please help, I asked gpt but it is saying that I'm using an old method, but I'm following the latest version of Forge Docs???
    • I merged your second post with the original , there is no need to post a new thread asking for an answer. If someone sees your post and can help, they will reply. If you are seeking a quicker response, you could try asking in the Minecraft Forge diacord.
    • Create a new instance and start with cobblemon - if this works, add the rest of your mods in groups   Maybe another mod is conflicting - like Sodium/Iris or Radical Cobblemon Trainers
