Ever switched to third-person view and realized you couldn't tell which character was yours in a crowded server? Who Am I? Mod solves that surprisingly common problem by keeping your player nametag visible in both the Inventory screen and Third Person View. It's a small quality-of-life tweak that's earned over 421,000 downloads on Modrinth — proof that sometimes the simplest mods fill the biggest gaps.
Key Features
- Nametag in Inventory Screen — Your player name displays directly on the Inventory screen, helping you stay oriented while managing items and crafting. Especially useful on multiplayer servers where you might juggle alt accounts.
- Nametag in Third Person View — Switching to F5 view no longer means losing track of yourself in a crowd. Your nametag stays visible above your character, just like it appears for other players.
- Lightweight Client-Side Mod — This mod appears to be lightweight and runs entirely on the client side using Fabric, meaning no server installation is needed to enjoy its benefits.

FAQ
Does Who Am I? Mod work on multiplayer servers?
Yes. Since this is a client-side Fabric mod, it works on any server without the server needing to install it. Your nametag will be visible to you in inventory and third-person view regardless of server setup.
Can I use this mod with other HUD or UI mods?
The mod only adds your nametag to the Inventory and Third Person View, so it should be compatible with most other Fabric mods. As always, test with your specific modpack to be sure.
Is Who Am I? Mod available for Forge?
No, this mod is currently Fabric-only. You'll need both the Fabric Mod Loader and Fabric API installed to use it. There is no Forge or NeoForge version available at this time.
