About this Mod

BetterGuard
Server-side anti-cheat for Minecraft 1.21.1 — Fabric & NeoForge.
Players do not need the mod on their client. Drop the JAR in your server mods folder and you're set.
Why BetterGuard?
A cleaner survival or PvP server without forcing everyone to install a client-side anti-cheat pack. BetterGuard runs on the server and watches movement, combat, the world, and banned client mods.

BetterGuard 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 (1.21.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is BetterGuard compatible with fabric and neoforge?
BetterGuard officially supports fabric, neoforge for Minecraft 1.21.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with BetterGuard – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if BetterGuard 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.
