Featured Servers Mod 1.16.5, 1.15.2 is a mod that removes the need to ship a servers.dat file that overwrites player-added servers.
Features:
Stop shipping that file and add Featured Servers! You can add multiple servers with a simple json format.
On first run, the mod will generate a featuredservers.json with the following content if one isn’t present:
[ { "serverName": "Featured Server", "serverIP": "127.0.0.1" }, { "serverName": "Another Server!", "serverIP": "192.168.1.1" } ]
Adding a server is as simple as adding another json block with the details.
The server is added to the server list on load, if it is already there it will be ignored.
