FabricClient-side onlyCC0 1.0 UniversalOpen source1.15 – 26.2

What it does

The mod changes the Multiplayer server list that players open from the title screen. Its additions include a Servers Finder, a search over the listed servers, and Favorites and Sorting Tags for organizing entries. The author describes these as quality-of-life changes to that one screen, and the buttons look slightly different on versions before 1.20 than on 1.20 and later, because the layout logic differs between those lines.

Only the client needs the mod, so servers run without it and players join them without installing anything. It requires Fabric and lists Fabric API as an optional dependency. Files exist for 1.15 – 26.2, with the latest Fabric file, 1.3 for 26.2, published on 2026-09-07. The author notes that builds for 1.20 and later are not compatible with older versions, so each release targets its own range. The code is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, which makes the project open source, and snapshot builds are published as well.

Key features

  1. Server search

    A search field filters the server list, so a player can find an entry by name without scrolling.

  2. Favorites and tags

    Servers can be marked as favorites and grouped with tags, keeping frequently used entries near the top.

  3. Sorting tags

    Sorting tags order the list by the tags a player has assigned, which helps when the list grows long.

  4. Servers Finder

    A finder view gathers servers into one place so a player can browse them from the Multiplayer screen.

No. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing.

Which versions does BSL Better Server List support?
