Features

• Strict Mod Whitelisting: Automatically validates connecting players' mod lists against a server whitelist. Unauthorized mods result in an immediate disconnect with clear kick reasons.
• SHA-256 Checksum Verification: Validates the SHA-256 hash of JAR files in addition to Mod IDs, preventing spoofed Mod IDs or tampered cheat client injection.
• Resource Pack Inspection & Hashing: Detects and restricts unauthorized external resource packs (such as X-Ray / ESP packs) with optional SHA-256 hash checking.
• Deep Nested Mod Detection (JiJ): Scans both standalone JAR files and internal Jar-in-Jar dependencies on the client.
• Mandatory Client Enforcement: Automatically disconnects players within 3 seconds if they do not have FairCount installed.
• Automatic Fabric API Pass: Sub-modules starting with fabric- are automatically allowed without manual configuration.
• OP & Player Bypass List: Server operators and players registered by UUID can bypass inspection checks.
• In-Game Hot-Reload Commands: Manage allowed mods, resource packs, and bypass players directly via commands without restarting the server.
