Custom Client Brand Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I open the mod settings to change my brand name?
Open Mod Menu from your main menu or pause screen, find Custom Client Brand Mod in the list, and click the settings icon or mod name to access the brand customization options.
What happens if I set a custom brand name on a multiplayer server?
The server receives your custom brand string instead of the default "vanilla" identifier when you log in, which can be useful for testing or identifying modded clients in server logs.
Can servers detect that I'm using this mod?
Servers can only detect your custom brand if they check the minecraft:brand string; the mod itself doesn't add any other identifying markers unless your custom brand name reveals it.
Will this mod get me banned from servers?
Most servers don't ban for brand spoofing alone, but some anti-cheat systems or strict servers may flag unusual brand strings; check your server's rules before using custom brands.
How do I reset my brand name back to default?
Open Mod Menu, navigate to Custom Client Brand Mod settings, and either clear the custom brand field or look for a reset button to restore the default minecraft:brand string.
Does this mod work with other mods that modify client behavior?
Yes, this mod is generally compatible with other client-side mods, but avoid conflicts with mods that also modify the brand string or server connection handshake.
Can I use this mod for server development and testing?
Yes, you can set different custom brand names to test how your server handles various client identifiers, which is useful for development and debugging server-side brand detection.
What should I name my custom brand?
You can use any text string; common choices are testing identifiers, alternative client names, or custom labels for development purposes—just avoid names that impersonate malicious clients.
Does changing my brand name affect gameplay or performance?
No, the mod only modifies the brand string sent at login and has no impact on game performance, mechanics, or client functionality.
Will my custom brand persist after I close the game?
Yes, your custom brand name is saved in the mod's configuration and will remain active the next time you launch the game until you manually change it.
