ClientCatcher-Fabric
A Server-side Fabric Mod to get the client with which a player has connected to your server.
Info
Looking for the Velocity ClientCatcher Plugin?
This Mod aims to have the same/similar Functionality as the Velocity Plugin. See Roadmap & Features.
Demo Vodeo: https://youtu.be/AOY4bHyH0Ok
The initial code is based on the work of C10udbursts 1.18.2 Fabric clientbrand mod.
This mod is not fully effective, because modded clients can hide/change their client branding when entering the server or impersonate vanilla (or other) client brands. The Mod can detect several clients such as Forge, Fabric, LiteLoader¹, Lunar¹, Vanilla, and others.
¹Not tested!
