Auto Server Names
by _venchy
Auto Server Names is a Fabric client-side mod that replaces generic entries such as Minecraft Server in the multiplayer list with readable names.
What it does
When a player opens the multiplayer screen, the mod scans the saved server list for entries with empty names or generic labels like Minecraft Server. For each one it generates a clean, readable name from the server address, which the game already knows, so nothing has to be typed by hand. Renaming happens automatically, and the updated server list is saved back to disk.
Existing entries can also be renamed in bulk with a single click, which removes the need to rename dozens of saved servers one by one. The mod runs only on the client, so players install it and server owners need nothing. Files are published for Fabric only, across 14 release versions 1.20.5 – 1.21.11; the latest file is 1.0.0 for 1.21.11, released on 2026-05-31. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Automatic renaming
Entries with empty or generic names get a name derived from their address as soon as the server list is shown.
Generic name detection
Saved servers labeled Minecraft Server or left blank are found by the scan and treated the same way.
Bulk rename
Existing saved servers can be renamed together with a single click instead of one at a time.
Saved server list update
Changes are written back to the saved server list, so the names stay after the game restarts.

How it compares
IP as Server Name is a Fabric client-side mod under the MIT License, open source, with files for 1.0 – 26.3, so it covers a far wider range of versions. Auto Stop Mod is a Fabric server-side only mod under All rights reserved and not open source, published for 1.20.6 – 1.21.1, so it serves a different purpose on the server side. CITX (CIT Extension) is a Fabric client and server mod under the Apache License 2.0, open source, for 1.20.1 – 1.21.11.
