BrandBlock
by londiuh
BrandBlock lets a server refuse players whose client reports a blocked brand name when they join.
What it does
A server owner lists the client brands to refuse in the configuration. When a player connects, the mod reads the brand payload the client sends and compares it with that list. A player whose brand matches a blocked entry is disconnected from the server. The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything, and files cover 1.17 – 1.21.1 for Fabric and Quilt.
Key features
Blocked brand list
Server owners name the client brands that may not join, set in the mod's configuration file.
Join-time check
The brand payload from each connecting client is read and matched against the blocked list before the player is let in.
Disconnect on match
A player whose reported brand is on the list is disconnected from the server immediately.

What the author says
This server-side mod listens when a brand payload is received and checks if it matches any blocked brands specified in the configuration file. If a blocked brand is detected, the player is disconnected from the server. However, this can be easily bypassed and modified clients may not to send this packet at all.
