ClientBridge
Adds a way for Fabric Clients to communicate with Paper Servers
About this Mod
ClientBridge – Mod Communication for Fabric Clients
ClientBridge is a tool that enables Fabric clients to communicate their active mods to the server. It bridges the gap between clients and servers by providing mod list transmission functionality similar to that of Forge clients.
Features
- Mod List Transmission: Fabric clients can send a list of their active mods to the server, similar to the communication standard used by Forge clients.
- Mod Whitelist/Blacklist: Configure a whitelist or blacklist to allow or restrict specific mods on your server.
- Command to View Mods: Use the
/mods <player>command to view the list of mods currently used by a specific player. - Modular Design: ClientBridge consists of a Fabric mod on the client side and a Paper plugin on the server side, working together seamlessly.
ClientBridge is the missing link for Fabric mod communication, making server and client interactions more consistent, transparent, and customizable.

ClientBridge server crashes on startup – what to do?

ClientBridge officially supports fabric, paper for Minecraft 1.21.10, 1.21. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with ClientBridge – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if ClientBridge consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
