Server Insight
by FlameBeast
Server Insight lets a Fabric client read details about the multiplayer server it is connected to, or a server listed in the multiplayer menu, without operator rights.
What it does
The mod reports the address, message of the day, version, protocol, player count, difficulty and permission level of a server. It also identifies the server software, such as Paper, Purpur, Folia, Spigot, Fabric, Forge or vanilla, and estimates which plugins or server-side mods are running. Plugins are detected in three ways, and each result is labelled with a confidence level. Country flags appear in the server list, and a host entry is shown for each server.
Installation is a single command on the server, which is optional because the mod is client-side only. Files target 1.21.11 and 26.2, with the latest build 1.2.1 for 26.2 released on 2026-08-31. The code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and the source is published on a public repository. The mod was first published on 2026-01-20.
Key features
Server details without operator rights
Details such as version, protocol, player count and difficulty are read from the client, so no operator permission is needed.
Plugin and mod detection
Plugins and server-side mods are detected from namespaces, the command tree and declared network channels, each labelled with a confidence level.
Hover details and country flags
Hovering over a server in the list shows the same details, and each entry displays a country flag.

What the author says
Client-side Fabric mod that tells you everything your client can work out about the server you're on — where it's hosted, what software it runs, which plugins and mods it has, and how well it's ticking. One command, no server-side install.
