Better Client
by ENC_Euphony
Better Client is a client-side mod with optional features for tuning how Minecraft runs and looks on the player's own machine.
What it does
Most of its features can be switched on or off. Settings are reached inside the game through the YetAnotherConfigLib screen, and configuration files are also available for manual editing. Since version 5.0.0, YetAnotherConfigLib has been optional, though the author recommends installing it.
Only the client needs the mod, so a server can run without it and players can join without changing anything on the server side. Files exist for Fabric and NeoForge, covering 13 release versions across 1.21.1 – 26.3, and the mod is open source under the MIT License. The project has public links for its source code, issue tracker and wiki, and the author says more features will be added.

Use cases
Tuning a personal client
A player adjusts the client's behaviour in single-player or on any server without asking the server owner to change anything.
Who it’s for: Players who want to adjust client-side behaviour in their own game, and players who want a configurable screen for those options instead of editing files.
How it compares
Better Combat Disabler is client-side only, open source under the MIT License and published for 1.21.1 – 26.2, so it covers a narrower part of the client than Better Client. Better Serverlist+ is also client-side only, but it is not open source and is released under All rights reserved for 1.21 – 26.2. Stack Size Tweaks runs on client and server, is open source under the MIT License and covers 1.21 – 26.3, which means it must be installed on both sides.
