SpecSpoof
by Aeroshide
SpecSpoof changes the hardware configuration strings shown in the F3 debug screen, with a built-in FPS spoofer for the reported value.
What it does
The mod edits the hardware and system strings that appear on the F3 menu. A built-in FPS spoofer controls the number shown there, and the author chose a formatting that keeps the text believable, with random nonsense strings where needed. It runs on the client alone, so a server does not need it and players join without installing anything. It is a Fabric mod for 1.14 – 26.3, released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and it is open source with its source code public.
Key features
Spoofed hardware strings
Hardware configuration lines in the F3 debug screen can be replaced with values the player sets.
FPS spoofer
A built-in option changes the frame rate figure shown in the F3 screen without changing actual performance.
Configurable output
Options are straightforward to change, and ModMenu is recommended for editing them without touching files.

What the author says
This mod should be highly compatible with other mods, but if you find any incompatibilities or bugs, just open up an issue in the GitHub repo. I'll probably try to implement a workaround. ModMenu is recommended for easier config modification!
