ClientCatcher-Fabric
A server-side Fabric mod that allows you to determine which client a player is using when connecting to your server.
Features
This mod provides functionality similar to the ClientCatcher plugin for Velocity. It can recognize various clients including Forge, Fabric, LiteLoader¹, Lunar¹, Vanilla, and others.
¹Requires additional testing!
It's important to note that the mod's effectiveness is limited - modified clients can hide or change their information when connecting to the server, and can also impersonate vanilla clients or other brands.
