Use Custom Brands for Server Testing and Development

Set Up Test Brands

If you're developing a server or testing brand-detection systems, use this mod to simulate different client types without installing multiple clients. Open Mod Menu, configure a test brand name, and save.

Test Server Responses

Connect to your test server with your custom brand. Check server logs to verify the brand string was received correctly. This helps validate that your server properly reads and handles the minecraft:brand packet.

Iterate Quickly

Change the brand name in Mod Menu settings, rejoin the server, and observe how your server responds. This workflow is faster than swapping between different client installations.

Document Results

Keep notes on which brand strings your server accepts, rejects, or handles specially. This is valuable for understanding client compatibility and debugging brand-related issues.

This approach is ideal for server administrators, plugin developers, and mod developers who need to test brand-dependent logic without complex setup.
