FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Just a quick question, the topic name pretty much says it all but would this be a possible feature in the next version? What im talking about is on multiplayer will we be able to see what item another player has selected/using in the future? Is it a work in progress?

Also while im here, i have noticed there is a few "seasons" mods ie changing of weather however there is comments saying it causes lag and manually seasons have to be set via a command. Anyone know if seasons and rain will be included as part of the engine in upcoming versions aswell?

Just a few things that have been on my mind

There are mods that do show other players' wielded items. Look in the mod releases forum for armor-related topics and I believe you will find them. I'm not sure whether there are plans to ever make it a part of the default game.

3d armor mod does it.

Yeah i know armor exist but i didnt think it displayed the other players wielding items. Good to know, thanks but i have never seen this mod used on servers either. So is it buggy on servers? i have used it in singleplayer but thats not much of a trial in regards to seeing what objects a player has in hand. Also i think it really should be a default feature that goes with 3d entities, i mean if someone has a sword or lava its nice to know before they attack.

i know someone has a game that adds players holding objects showing but i dont remember where it was. it isnt in the game section so i forgot
