Pot Counter Nametag

Pot Counter Nametag

Automatically tracks every player within 64 blocks of you and shows a live countdown right on their nametag — no manual targeting, no commands, it just works in the background while you play.

This is not real inventory reading. You set a starting number in the settings screen, and that number ticks down by 1 every time the tracked player throws a healing (Instant Health) splash potion. It’s a manual estimate you keep track of, built for PvP servers where knowing how many heals someone has left actually matters.

Features

• Fully automatic tracking — every player who comes within 64 blocks gets tracked instantly, no need to look at them or select a target.
• Live countdown on their nametag — the number appears right next to their name, colored however you like.
• 7 rainbow colors to choose from (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet) — pick one from the settings screen and it applies instantly to everyone currently tracked.
• Smart reset behavior — a player’s counter resets automatically when they:
• Move more than 64 blocks away
• Die
• Teleport (large position jumps are detected and handled immediately, instead of waiting on a delay)
• Manual reset key — instantly resets every tracked player back to your starting count, in case you want a clean slate.
• Works with both vanilla nametags and custom server holograms (the kind built from text displays that some PvP servers use instead of vanilla nametags).
• Keeps other players’ name colors and formatting intact — the counter is just appended, it doesn’t strip or override any styling the server applies to a name.
• Lightweight — no server-side component, no extra network traffic, everything runs client-side.

How to use

• Press , (comma) to open the settings screen: set your starting pot count, pick a color, and bind a reset key.
• The reset key has no default binding — set one from the settings screen or the vanilla Controls menu. Once bound, pressing it instantly resets every tracked player’s counter back to the starting value.
• That’s it — walk around, and every player who enters your 64-block radius gets a counter automatically.

Requirements

• Fabric API (required dependency)
• Check the file list on this page for the Minecraft version you need — separate builds are provided for different versions.
