FakeVanilla
by KSmc's Team
FakeVanilla lets a Fabric client present itself as vanilla when it joins a server from the multiplayer screen.
What it does
A Vanilla button on the multiplayer screen switches the brand the client reports to the server. When the button reads that the Vanilla feature is disabled, the client shows the Fabric brand; when it reads that the Fabric feature is enabled, the client joins as a plain vanilla client. Only the client needs the mod, so servers run without it. Files are published for Fabric, for 1.20.1 only, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
