About this Mod

Antiscan

Note that this is NOT a perfect solution, and will NOT keep your server safe on its own. This is meant to be used in
conjunction with online mode and a whitelist. It also will probably not work behind a proxy like Velocity.

Adding names/ips to the Antiscan whitelist will whitelist any connection with those names/ips - even if they don't
actually own that account or another source says they are untrustworthy. This will NOT let them bypass online mode (the
default for servers) - Minecraft's default verification is still there.

Don't share your antiscan folder! It will include IPs, including those that you've whitelisted (which are probably the IPs
of those you know). It will also include your AbuseIPDB key if you've added it.

Set up AbuseIPDB

If you have an AbuseIPDB key, Antiscan can check IPs with it and report the IPs you've blocked (and IPs that try to log
in with your blocked names). To enable this:

  1. Start the server with Antiscan installed
  2. Add your key to the newly-generated antiscan/antiscan-key-do-not-share.txt file (by the way, don't share that file either)
  3. Restart the server

Frequently Asked Questions

AntiScan server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.11). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is AntiScan compatible with fabric?

AntiScan officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.21.11, 1.21.10, 1.21.9. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with AntiScan – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if AntiScan consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
