Lunar Client Notifications
by Logixel
Lunar Client Notifications lets a vanilla Fabric client display the system alerts that Lunar Client's Apollo plugin sends from servers.
What it does
The mod listens on the lunar:apollo network channel, which servers use to send Apollo notifications. Vanilla clients normally discard these packets because they do not recognize the channel. The mod scans each inbound DisplayNotificationMessage, extracts the underlying text JSON, and passes it to Minecraft's built-in rendering, so the alert appears as a standard vanilla HUD toast without running the proprietary Lunar Client.
Installation requires Fabric Loader and Fabric API on a standard Fabric environment, with the mod placed in the mods folder. Only the client needs it, so servers running the Apollo Plugin work without any change. Files are published for 1.21.11 only, and the MIT License covers the source, which is open source.
Key features
Apollo notification bridge
Intercepts closed-ecosystem Apollo alerts from servers and shows them to players who are not running Lunar Client.
Vanilla toast rendering
Turns incoming broadcasts into clean toast notifications that match the active texture pack and the vanilla interface.
Color and formatting retention
Parses font decorations and hex colors with modern data codecs, so styled text keeps its formatting.
Light packet handling
Processes packet streams with a small footprint and no heavy dependencies, adding little to frame rate.

Use cases
Joining Apollo-enabled servers
Players on a vanilla Fabric client can still see server announcements sent through the Apollo API.
Who it’s for: Players who join servers that use the official Lunar Client Apollo Plugin, and who want its alerts without installing the Lunar Client launcher.
How it compares
Fabric Packet Logger is open source under the MIT License and covers 1.21 – 26.2, so it targets a wider span of versions than this mod's single release for 1.21.11. Lifesteal Market is also client-side only on Fabric, but it is not open source, is covered by All rights reserved and targets 1.21.11 – 26.3. ArmorAlert is open source under the MIT License, also client-side only, and available for Fabric and Quilt on 1.21.11.
