servermodmenu
by wanomaniac
servermodmenu is a Fabric, Forge and NeoForge client mod that shows a list of the server's mods in the game's menu and lets players fetch the matching client mods.
What it does
When a player connects to a server, servermodmenu reads the list of mods the server uses and displays it in a menu, so players can see what they need before they play. The mod is built to help players install the universal environment mods a server relies on, with less searching through websites and file folders.
The mod depends on SCMC, a secondary server-side mod that lets the client see the server's mod list. Without SCMC installed on the server, servermodmenu has no list to show. The mod includes a button on the disconnect screen that opens the server mod menu, and clicking a server mod's button opens its details.
Client-side only, so only the player's client needs it and the server runs without it. Builds exist for 1.20.1 and for 1.21.6 – 1.21.10, with 1.0.0.3 for 1.21.8 as the latest Fabric file. Forge and NeoForge builds reach 1.21.10. The mod is open source under the MIT License.

Use cases
Joining a modded server
A player who joins a server with a custom mod set can check the required mods from inside the game rather than from a list the server owner posts elsewhere.
Installing universal environment mods
Players gathering the client-side mods a server recommends can use the menu to find and fetch them, which suits small groups playing together.
Who it’s for: Players who join servers that run many mods, and server owners who want to point players to the client mods their server needs. The server must run SCMC for the list to appear.
