ServerLinksSender
by BlackSpirit
ServerLinksSender lets a Fabric server push its own links into the pause menu of each joining player, using the Server Links screen added in 1.21.
What it does
The mod is built on the vanilla Server Links feature that Minecraft 1.21 introduced, where a server sends a set of links that clients show under a Server Links option in the pause menu. Each link can be a plain URL or a labelled entry, and clicking it opens the target in the browser, while click events, hover effects and chat formatting are kept as configured.
A default configuration supplies a baseline list of links, and a similar configuration file with explanations lets server owners replace the entries. Dynamic placeholders such as the world time are not refreshed while a player keeps the screen open, because the links are rendered once each time the screen opens and re-render only when new links are sent.
The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. Files are published for Fabric for 1.21 – 1.21.3, with 1.0.1 for 1.21.3 as the latest. The source code is under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and the code is open source.
Key features
Server-sent links
The server sends its configured links to each joining player, who finds them under the Server Links option in the pause menu.
Clickable entries
Links open in the browser when clicked, and labels can carry hover text and colour formatting.
Default configuration
A baseline set of links is created on first start, and an annotated configuration file lets the owner change them.
Vanilla screen integration
Links appear in the standard pause menu screen rather than in a separate menu added by the mod.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners who run Fabric servers for 1.21 – 1.21.3 and want to share links with players. Players need nothing installed, since the mod is server-side only.
How it compares
Simple Server Links is also server-side only and open source under the MIT License, but it covers 1.21 – 1.21.8 and supports both Fabric and Quilt. Fabric-Discord-Link is server-side only and open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.5.2 – 1.18.1, so it does not target the 1.21 links feature. The other alternatives run on the client or on both sides, so they do not replace a server-only install.

Minecraft 1.21 released a new feature, allowing vanilla servers to send vanilla clients certain links which the client then can display in the pause menu under a new option called Server Links. In there they are listed and can be clicked on. Vanilla only exposes sending a “Bug report link” that players can use to…
