Payback Tracker 🗡️

Client-side mod that highlights player nametags in red after they kill you—designed specifically for Vanilla & SMP servers.

⚠️ Important Server Compatibility

🟩 Made for Vanilla & Survival SMPs: Works best on standard servers, private SMPs, realm-style servers, and semi-vanilla survival where base Minecraft nametags are used.
🟥 Not for Kit-PvP / Mini-Game Networks: Will not work on large PvP networks (like Hypixel, Minemen, etc.) that use custom scoreboard/nametag plugins, custom health bars, or team systems.

✨ Features

🎯 Instant Revenge Tracking: Automatically flags any player who kills you by turning their nametag bright red upon your respawn.
🌐 100% Client-Side: Functions cleanly on vanilla servers without requiring any server-side mods or plugins.
⚡ Lightweight & Fast: Zero performance impact, keeping your HUD clean while ensuring you never lose sight of your rival in a survival fight.

💬 Commands

🧹 `/remove-tracker ` — Removes a player from your list and restores their normal nametag color.
