Updating Your Brand String When Reconnecting to a Server
Why Changes Require Reconnection
The minecraft:brand string is transmitted strictly during the initial login sequence when you connect to a server. If you edit your brand configuration while already playing on a server, the active session will still reflect the brand string sent when you first joined.
Applying Brand Updates Correctly
To verify that a newly configured brand string reaches the server:
1. If currently connected to a multiplayer server, open the pause menu and select Disconnect.
2. From the main title screen, open the Mods list via Mod Menu.
3. Select Custom Client Brand Mod and access its settings screen.
4. Verify or retype your desired custom brand name in the text field.
5. Save your settings and return to the Multiplayer menu.
6. Reconnect to the server.
Because the connection sequence initiates from scratch, the mod will send the freshly updated minecraft:brand string during the login exchange, ensuring the server logs your new brand properly.
