Please make the server brand, that appears on the third line of the client debug screen surrounded in quotes, configurable.
Currently it is hardcoded to Paper.
Alternatively one has to intercept PacketPlayOutCustomPayload, which takes around 225渭s on the server thread every time a player connects.
EDIT:
Eventually I managed to reduce the time taken to intercept the packet to around 10渭s.

Declining for the same reason we don鈥檛 make the other branded areas of the server configurable.

May I know the reason?

There aren鈥檛 a lot of advantages to maintaining Paper. We do it because we enjoy it and some of us use it. With that comes hours and hours of work writing code, maintaining code, putting out fires, and trying to keep the community from ripping itself apart.
One of the most positive things we get out of it is the pride in seeing something we worked on, something with our name, used and enjoyed by so many. The minimal branding that 99% of players will never see is part of that. Ultimately, we think that this is a very tiny thing that most people will never mind or care about anyway, and a more than fair trade.
That is why we have constantly resisted when server owners have asked us to make various aspects of the server branding configurable.
I hope you find that answer satisfying. If not, as you鈥檝e said it is quite cheap to change at runtime, or you can just maintain your own fork and do whatever you want with it.

Thank you very much. I do not think it's cheap, quite the opposite.
