proxy-mod
by addrestw
Proxy-Mod, by addrestw, routes a player's multiplayer connection through a proxy server so the server sees the proxy's address instead of the player's own.
What it does
Players who want to join multiplayer servers without showing their own IP address can send the connection through a private alternate address. The mod sits as a layer between the user and the server: instead of connecting directly, the client goes through a proxy, and the Minecraft server treats the proxy as the joining player. The address and port come from the proxy settings the user enters, and the proxy can be disabled in the mod's screen.
The mod is client-side only, so only the client needs it and servers run without it. Proxy-Mod requires Fabric API, and it is released under the MIT License but is not open source. Files exist for Fabric in the 26.1.2 game version, and the latest file is 1.0.0 for 26.1.2, published 2026-04-27.
Key features
Proxy connection layer
Multiplayer connections pass through a configured proxy server before reaching the game server.
Address and port settings
The proxy address and port are entered in a graphical screen, and the address in use is shown there.
Authentication support
Proxies that ask for a username and password can be used, which SOCKS5 proxies commonly require.
Disable switch
The proxy can be turned off in the mod's screen, so a normal direct connection is restored.

Use cases
Keeping a home address private
A player who wants to hide their own IP address from the servers they join can route those connections through a proxy.
Joining a server through a VPN-style proxy
Players who already use a proxy or VPN service can point the mod at it for multiplayer sessions.
Who it’s for: Players who want to keep their IP address private on multiplayer servers, and players who already run a proxy service they want to use for Minecraft connections. Server owners who allow proxy or VPN use can expect these connections.
