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.

    config/ └── hostpromoter/ └── sponsors/ └── wabbanode.toml ← auto-generated on first launch

Example wabbanode.toml:

    toml [command] name = "wabbanode" creator_alias = "truyty" chat_message = "§6[HostPromoter] §fSupport §bWabbanode§f! Use code §bTRUYTY §ffor §a25% OFF§f — " clickable_text = "§n§bGet your server now§r" [display] name = "Wabbanode" affiliate_url = "https://wabbanode.com/affiliate/truyty" creator_code = "TRUYTY" discount = "25%"

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.
