IP as Server Name

by Now this is crazy

With IP as Server Name installed, a server entry shows its raw IP address instead of a custom display name, since the mod does not provide a way to set one.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.0 – 26.3

What it does

The mod changes how a server appears in the multiplayer list: rather than a typed name, the entry falls back to the server's IP address. Where a server is registered in the Lunar Client server mappings, that registered name is used instead. The mod runs on the client alone, so players install it and servers need nothing.

Being open source under the MIT License, its source code and issue tracker are public. Files are published for Fabric only, with the latest build, 1.2.0+26.3, covering 26.3 and released on 2026-09-21. Game versions 1.0 – 26.3 are listed in release builds.

Key features

  1. IP address labels

    Servers are labeled with their IP address, so the address is what identifies each entry in the list.

  2. Registered name lookup

    A server that appears in the Lunar Client server mappings is shown under its registered name instead of the address.

  3. Entry display

    Each saved server entry in the multiplayer list is redrawn with the address or mapped name in place of a typed label.

Questions

Can a custom server name be set with this mod?

No. The mod does not add a way to name a server, so the IP address is used unless the server is registered in the Lunar Client mappings.

Does the server need this mod?

No. Players add it to their own game, and a server needs no copy.

What the author says

When adding a new server, if a name isn't provided, the mod will save the server with its IP address as the name, however if the server is registered on the Lunar Client server mappings, its name will be used instead.
