AutoModFetcher
by Corn_Can
AutoModFetcher lets a player join a modded server without first hunting down each missing mod, since the server sends its mod list at connection time.
What it does
When a player connects to a server that uses AutoModFetcher, the server reports which mods the game lacks, and the client fetches and verifies them before the join completes. A listing shows each file's name and size, plus the site it is taken from, with one line per file marked by its state. If a fetch fails, pressing Try again retries it. Small mods can be sent inline by the server, and anything rejected by verification is not installed.
Server owners add the mod, and it builds a mod list that syncs with every joining player, so setup needs no complex configuration. Private custom-made mods can be shared directly with players. Once a player checks a box to trust the server, later mod updates happen quietly in the background. Leftover mods the server no longer needs are moved aside rather than deleted, and personal client-side mods such as performance boosters are never removed.
The mod needs Fabric API on Fabric. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, under a custom license that is not open source. The source code is public. Mods are not redistributed; the client fetches each one from its own project page at the exact version.

Use cases
Joining a modded server
A player connects to a modpacked server and the missing files are fetched without manual searching.
Private server mods
A server owner shares custom mods that are not listed publicly directly with players who join.
Who it’s for: Server owners who run modded servers and players who join them. Players who prefer to install mods by hand can still do so, since the mod does not replace a manual install.
