About this project

What does Nova's Teams add?

🛡️ Nova's Teams (Fabric)

Nova's Teams is an advanced party management & tactical system for Fabric 1.21.1. It transforms the standard multiplayer experience into a professional RPG adventure with a sleek HUD, tactical pings, deep server customizability, and ecosystem-wide mod integrations.


🔥 Key Features

📊 RPG Interface & HUD

  • Teammate Stats & Voice: Track real-time Health (HP), active status effects, and active voice chat speaking indicators (Simple Voice Chat) for every party member on your screen.
  • Compact Roster & Distance: Fixed-width party panels with polished portrait rings. Teammate distance is displayed in real-time (e.g., 21m).
  • Smart Usernames: Long usernames are truncated with ..; hovering reveals the full name, and clicking any nickname copies it to your clipboard.
  • Online/Offline Status & Dimension Tracking: Offline players show dedicated portraits. Icons indicate exact dimensions (Overworld, Nether, End, or modded dimensions) with hover tooltips.
  • Fully Customizable Position & Scale: Drag the HUD anywhere on screen, adjust its scale up to 200%, or access quick settings directly via the in-game Gear screen.

🎯 Tactical Pings & Smart Glowing

  • World Pings (Middle Mouse): Ping enemies, loot, or point-of-interests in real-time. Pings are displayed on-screen and on the ground with live distance tracking.
  • Smart Local Glowing: Tagged mobs or players glow on client-side using the tagger's team color. Fully compatible with vanilla and complex modded entities (e.g., Geckolib)!

⚔️ Combat, Duels & Friendly Fire

  • Configurable Friendly Fire: Admins or Leaders can control team PvP with multiple modes (TOGGLE, DISABLED, ENABLED, REDUCED, or DUELS_ONLY).
  • Smart 1v1 Duels: Challenge friends to safe sparring. Accepting creates a circular arena with a 10-block radius and a semi-transparent red wall. Stepping outside counts as a loss!

📈 Fair XP Sharing System

  • Equal Distribution: Automatically divide all gained experience equally between party members.
  • Leader Bonus: Any remaining XP residue that cannot be evenly divided goes directly to the Party Leader.

🔌 Deep Mod Integrations

  • 🗺️ Xaero's Minimap & World Map / JourneyMap: Displays teammate markers, colors, frames, and shared party pings directly on your maps.
  • 🎙️ Simple Voice Chat: Real-time HUD speaking indicators + optional isolated party voice rooms.
  • 📊 PlaceholderAPI: Built-in placeholders (%novateams:in_party%, %novateams:is_leader%, %novateams:party_size%, etc.).

⚙️ Server Control & Permissions (LuckPerms)

  • Modular Features: Server admins can enable or disable specific features (duels, markers, party creation, HUD elements) via config/novateams-server.json (supports /novateams reload).
  • LuckPerms Support: Restrict maximum party sizes, party creation, and duel access based on player permission groups.

🎮 How to Use (Interactive Party Menu - O Key)

  • Manage your team directly through clean GUI menus (O Key) — search players, manage invites, kick/disband with double-click protection, send private messages, or teleport (requires OP).

⌨️ Commands

  • /party — Open the main party menu.
  • /party create — Start a new party.
  • /party invite <player> — Invite a friend.
  • /party leave — Exit your current team.
  • /novateams reload — Reload server config (Admin / OP).
