Description
HostPromoter
A sponsor integration mod for Minecraft Forge 1.20.1. For modpack creators and content creators who want to promote a hosting partner directly inside their modpack.
What it does
HostPromoter registers a set of in-game commands that players can type to get information about your sponsor. When executed, each command sends a formatted, clickable chat message — the affiliate URL. A underlined phrase opens the link directly in the player's default browser when clicked.
A XP level-up sound plays on execution.
Commands
Generic commands — always available, point to your primary sponsor:
| Command |
|---|
/sponsor |
/support |
/host |
/server |
/deal |
/promo |
/code |
Sponsor-specific commands — defined per sponsor in the config:
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
/wabbanode (For example) |
Sponsor name command (customizable) |
/truyty (For example) |
Creator alias command (customizable) |
Chat message format
[HostPromoter] Support Wabbanode! Use code TRUYTY for 25% OFF — Get your server now
↑ clickable
- The URL is never visible in the chat
- Hovering the clickable text shows:
Click to open: wabbanode.com - Clicking opens the affiliate link in the browser
Configuration
All settings are stored in plain .toml files — no in-game GUI required.

Add more .toml files to register multiple sponsors simultaneously.
Server compatibility
HostPromoter is a server-side mod. It does not need to be installed on the client for players to use the commands.
| Setup | Status |
|---|---|
| Dedicated server only | ✅ Fully supported |
| Solo / LAN | ✅ Fully supported |
| Server-side only (clients without mod) | ✅ Supported — set side = "SERVER" in mods.toml |
| Client-only install | ⚠️ Commands require the mod on the server side |
Requirements
- Minecraft 1.20.1
- Forge 47.x
For modpack creators
HostPromoter is designed to be dropped into any Forge 1.20.1 modpack. Configure your sponsor once in wWabbanode.toml, ship the config folder alongside your modpack, and your affiliate link is always one command away for every player in your community.
