 If what plugins can do is use some measures  like reading player interactions to prevent hacking and ban them, is possible for mods istead of plugins to detect hack clients on entry and prevent whatever input they put in the server?

No. A "cheat client" by definition doesn't expose itself to the server in a way that is easy to detect.

The very nature of a "cheat client" means that it appears to be a normal, vanilla Minecraft instance, but is modded in a way to bypass security issues on the server.

I found a mod that requires to be installed in both client and server. The client will check the folder for any unwanted mod on the mods folder. According to most comments it really works however i need more info from forge itself

Cheaters won’t install anti cheats to get themselves banned though...

Cheating is done by modifying the client. Cheaters have access to the client, therefore all “client-side anti cheats” are fundamentally flawed.

Some tips:

Modder Support:

Spoiler

1. Do not follow tutorials on YouTube, especially TechnoVision (previously called Loremaster) and HarryTalks, due to their promotion of bad practice and usage of outdated code.

2. Always post your code.

3. Never copy and paste code. You won't learn anything from doing that.

4.

Programming via Eclipse's hotfixes will get you nowhere

5. Learn to use your IDE, especially the debugger.

1. Read the EAQ before asking for help. Remember to provide the appropriate log(s).

2. Versions below 1.11 are no longer supported due to their age. Update to a modern version of Minecraft to receive support.

What do you mean "now"? Cheat clients have always had the ability to lie to the server.

Also, just my opinion, but you saying that Minecraft is "showing it's limits finally" makes me feel like you're looking for something to look down on Minecraft for.

 

Edit: All that is needed to defeat that mod is a mod that pretends to be it that responds with a packet that's filtered to not mention the illegal mods that are installed.

This is my Forum Signature, I am currently attempting to transform it into a small guide for fixing easier issues using spoiler blocks to keep things tidy.

 

As the most common issue I feel I should put this outside the main bulk:

The only official source for Forge is https://files.minecraftforge.net, and the only site I trust for getting mods is CurseForge.

If you use any site other than these, please take a look at the StopModReposts project and install their browser extension, I would also advise running a virus scan.

 

For players asking for assistance with Forge please expand the spoiler below and read the appropriate section(s) in its/their entirety.

Spoiler

Logs (Most issues require logs to diagnose):

Spoiler

Please post logs using one of the following sites (Thank you Lumber Wizard for the list):

https://gist.github.com/: 100MB Requires member (Free)

https://pastebin.com/: 512KB as guest, 10MB as Pro ($$$)

https://hastebin.com/: 400KB

Do NOT use sites like Mediafire, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, or a site that has a countdown before offering downloads.

 

What to provide:

...for Crashes and Runtime issues:

Minecraft 1.14.4 and newer:

Post debug.log

Older versions:

Please update...

 

...for Installer Issues:

Post your installer log, found in the same place you ran the installer

This log will be called either installer.log or named the same as the installer but with .log on the end

Note for Windows users:

Windows hides file extensions by default so the installer may appear without the .jar extension then when the .log is added the log will appear with the .jar extension

 

Where to get it:

Mojang Launcher: When using the Mojang launcher debug.log is found in .minecraft\logs.

 

Curse/Overwolf: If you are using the Curse Launcher, their configurations break Forge's log settings, fortunately there is an easier workaround than I originally thought, this works even with Curse's installation of the Minecraft launcher as long as it is not launched THROUGH Twitch:

Spoiler
  1. Make sure you have the correct version of Forge installed (some packs are heavily dependent on one specific build of Forge)
  2. Make a launcher profile targeting this version of Forge.
  3. Set the launcher profile's GameDir property to the pack's instance folder (not the instances folder, the folder that has the pack's name on it).
  4. Now launch the pack through that profile and follow the "Mojang Launcher" instructions above.

Video:

Spoiler

 

 

 

or alternately, 

 

Fallback ("No logs are generated"):

If you don't see logs generated in the usual place, provide the launcher_log.txt from .minecraft

 

Server Not Starting:

Spoiler

If your server does not start or a command window appears and immediately goes away, run the jar manually and provide the output.

 

Reporting Illegal/Inappropriate Adfocus Ads:

Spoiler

Get a screenshot of the URL bar or copy/paste the whole URL into a thread on the General Discussion board with a description of the Ad.

Lex will need the Ad ID contained in that URL to report it to Adfocus' support team.

 

Posting your mod as a GitHub Repo:

Spoiler

When you have an issue with your mod the most helpful thing you can do when asking for help is to provide your code to those helping you. The most convenient way to do this is via GitHub or another source control hub.

When setting up a GitHub Repo it might seem easy to just upload everything, however this method has the potential for mistakes that could lead to trouble later on, it is recommended to use a Git client or to get comfortable with the Git command line. The following instructions will use the Git Command Line and as such they assume you already have it installed and that you have created a repository.

 

  1. Open a command prompt (CMD, Powershell, Terminal, etc).
  2. Navigate to the folder you extracted Forge’s MDK to (the one that had all the licenses in).
  3. Run the following commands:
    1. git init
    2. git remote add origin [Your Repository's URL]
      • In the case of GitHub it should look like: https://GitHub.com/[Your Username]/[Repo Name].git
    3. git fetch
    4. git checkout --track origin/master
    5. git stage *
    6. git commit -m "[Your commit message]"
    7. git push
  4. Navigate to GitHub and you should now see most of the files.
    • note that it is intentional that some are not synced with GitHub and this is done with the (hidden) .gitignore file that Forge’s MDK has provided (hence the strictness on which folder git init is run from)
  5. Now you can share your GitHub link with those who you are asking for help.

[Workaround line, please ignore]

I just want to start a non pay2win modded server with beautiful world gen and dragons. I already bought the expensive hardware. Bit because of Minecraft cheaters, I have to find plugins  or mods that would disallow it.

Your best weapon against cheaters will be server staff with moderator/admin tools.

Ok thank you for chatting and having the time it really means a lot to me. I have figured to follow earth mc's  technique of only allowing youtubers. Them hacking would damage their reputation and will be reported by their fans or other youtubers. Only difference no pay 2 win! I know BarrenDome used a vanilla duplication exploit for diamonds but i can find a way to fix it.

There is this server plugin called Matrix that does a pretty good job of detecting cheats (although not Forge relevant).

I’ve tested the plugin for my friend’s server with custom written cheats, and it seems to do well with simple cheats (ones created without an anti cheat in mind).

If you need better anti cheats then I’m afraid you will need more moderators.

Some tips:

      I want to force a certain config for a client-side mod, on a server

      By yungyjunger · Posted

      I use Bisect-Hosting, and I host a relatively modded server.  There is a mod I desperately want to have in a server. https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/minehoplite This is MineHop. It's a mod that replicates the movement capabilities seen in Source Engine games, such as Half-Life, and such.  https://youtu.be/SbtLo7VbOvk - A video explaining the mod, if anyone is interested.  It is a clientside mod, meaning whoever is using it can change anything about the mod that they want, with no restrictions, even when they join a server with the same mod. They can change it to where they can go infinitely fast, or do some other overpowered thing. I don't want that to happen. So I just want to know if there is some way to force the SERVER'S configuration file, onto whoever is joining.  I'm not very savvy with all this modding stuff. There are two config files: minehop-common.txt, and minehop.txt I don't really know much about how each are different. I just know what the commands relating to acceleration and stuff mean.

      WIZARD WEB RECOVERY A LEADING EXPERT IN LOST CRYPTO RECOVERY

      By Roy Kathleen · Posted

      My journey into crypto trading began tentatively, with me dipping my toes into the waters by purchasing my first Bitcoin through a seasoned trader. With an initial investment of $5,000, I watched as my investment grew, proving to be both fruitful and lucrative. Encouraged by this success, I decided to increase my investment to $150,000, eager to capitalize on the growing popularity of cryptocurrency, However, as cryptocurrency gained mainstream attention, so too did the number of self-proclaimed "experts" in the field. Suddenly, everyone seemed to be a crypto guru, and more and more people were eager to jump on the bandwagon without fully understanding the intricacies of this complex world. With promises of quick and easy profits, these con artists preyed on the uninformed, luring them into schemes that often ended in disappointment and financial loss. Unfortunately, I fell victim to one such scheme. Seduced by the allure of easy money, I entrusted my hard-earned funds to a dubious trading platform, granting them access to my accounts in the hopes of seeing my investment grow. For a brief period, everything seemed to be going according to plan, with regular withdrawals and promising returns on my investment. However, my hopes were soon dashed when, without warning, communication from the platform ceased, and my Bitcoin holdings vanished into thin air. Feeling helpless and betrayed, I confided in a family member about my predicament. They listened sympathetically and offered a glimmer of hope in the form of a recommendation for Wizard Web Recovery. Intrigued by the possibility of reclaiming what I had lost, I decided to explore this option further. From the moment I reached out to Wizard Web Recovery, I was met with professionalism and empathy. They took the time to understand my situation and reassured me that I was not alone in my plight. With their guidance, I embarked on a journey to reclaim what was rightfully mine. Wizard Web Recovery's expertise and dedication were evident from the start. They meticulously analyzed the details of my case, uncovering crucial evidence that would prove invaluable in our quest for justice. With each step forward, they kept me informed and empowered, instilling in me a newfound sense of hope and determination. Through their tireless efforts and unwavering support, Wizard Web Recovery succeeded in recovering my lost Bitcoin holdings. It was a moment of triumph and relief, knowing that justice had been served and that I could finally put this chapter behind me. In conclusion, My experience with Wizard Web Recovery  was nothing short of transformative. Their professionalism, expertise, and unwavering commitment to their clients set them apart as true leaders in the field of cryptocurrency recovery. I am forever grateful for their assistance and would highly recommend their services to anyone in need of help navigating the treacherous waters of cryptocurrency scams.

      [1.20.4] Custom dimension copy of the overworld with extra custom biomes

      By chxr · Posted

      Ok so: Two things to note: It got stuck due to my dimension type. It was previously the same as the overworld dimension tpye but after changing it , it didn't freeze during spawn generation. ALSO, APPARENTLY, the way I'm doing things, the game can't have two extremely-rich dimensions or it will make the new chunk generation be veeery VEEERY slow. I'm doing the dimension file genreation all in the data generation step now, so it's all good. Mostly. If anybody has any tips regarding how can i more efficently generate a biome-rich dimension, im all ears.
