Download the plugin JAR file<br \/>\n2. Place it in your server&#8217;s `plugins` folder<br \/>\n3. Install PlaceholderAPI if you want placeholder support<br \/>\n4. Restart your server<br \/>\n5. Configure the plugin in `plugins\/ClientBrand\/config.yml`<\/p>\n<p>## Client Brand Disclaimer<br \/>\nThis plugin cannot tell you which client the player is using, it can only say which client the client says it&#8217;s using. Hacked client developers are aware of this, and usually, they leave the client brand as Vanilla or Forge or something &#8216;legitimate&#8217;.<br \/>\nTherefore, a client brand of Vanilla or Fabric does not mean the player is 100% using a Vanilla or Fabric client, and a client brand along the lines of Lunar Client may not always be an actual Lunar Client.<\/p>\n<p>## Common client brands:<br \/>\nUse this list to configure your config.yml if you wish. This exact text is also what will be returned in the placeholder.<br \/>\n&#8211; `vanilla` &#8211; Standard Minecraft Client<br \/>\n&#8211; `forge` &#8211; Forge Mod Loader<br \/>\n&#8211; `fabric` &#8211; Fabric Mod Loader<br \/>\n&#8211; `Geyser` &#8211; Bedrock players joining through GeyserMC<br \/>\n&#8211; `lunarclient**` &#8211; Lunar Client (** is used as LC adds the build number into their client brand.
