DefaultServerList
by glowredman
DefaultServerList lets a modpack show a fixed set of servers at the bottom of the multiplayer screen, without shipping a servers.dat file.
What it does
Server entries are defined in a JSON config and are always listed at the bottom of the multiplayer screen. The list can also be read from a JSON file at a web address, so a modpack author can change an IP without publishing a new modpack. The mod is Forge-only and is published for 9 release versions, 1.7.10 – 1.19.2, with 1.7.4 for 1.7.10 as the latest file. It runs on the client alone, and its code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only. SpongeMixins 1.7.10 and UniMixins are required.
Key features
Pinned server list
A set of server addresses in a JSON config stays visible at the bottom of the multiplayer screen.
Address updates from a URL
Addresses can be fetched from a JSON file at a web address, so an IP change reaches players without a new modpack build.
Servers without servers.dat
The mod supplies the server entries itself, so a modpack does not have to ship a servers.dat file.
