# Client Brand Changer

The *Client Brand Changer* module changes the client identifier sent to the server on join, replacing the real client name with a spoofed string. Servers that auto-ban on unrecognized client signatures will see a clean value instead.

## Brand Name

The string reported to the server. Common values include `vanilla`, `forge`, `fabric`, and `lunar` — keep it set to `vanilla` or another well-known client name to avoid instant detection. Defaults to `vanilla`.
