This is an extremely simple mod that allows players to enter a specified server with their Fabric client as if it were a vanilla client. It has been open-sourced on GitHub.
You can toggle the activation of this feature by pressing the "Vanilla" button on the multiplayer screen. When the button displays "Vanilla," the feature is disabled; conversely, when it displays "Fabric," the feature is enabled.
