Xray Snitch
Snitches on players using Xray texturepacks on your server
About this Mod
Are you running a server and want to spend less time trying to detect or prevent Xray? Including this mod in your modpack makes that possible.
What this mod does
- This mod is registering an empty argument, making it required on clients if your server has it installed. Players who try to remove it from their modpack can't join your server.
- When players join your server, the client checks for Xray texture packs and sends a message to the server if one is present (
<server root>/config/xray_snitch/).
What this mod doesn't do
- Automatically ban people based on Xray texturepacks
- Provide an easy way to find xraying users in-game
Limitations
- Detection is limited to texture packs and isn't perfect. Most results are true positives, but there can and will be false positives. Never take no detection from this mod as a proof for not using Xray.
- Dedicated troublemakers with knowledge of Java can decompile this mod and create an evil twin, suppressing the results.
