AntiSkidAC

AntiSkidAC is a client integrity and modpack verification system for Minecraft Forge 1.7.10.

It allows servers to verify that connecting players are using the expected mods and game files. This includes mod versions, physical mod JARs, required or prohibited mods, external mod content, and known cheat or runtime-injection indicators.

Features

• Installed mod and version verification
• BLAKE3-256 mod JAR hashing
• Protected file and folder verification
• Recursive external content hashing
• Forge 1.7.10 coremod support
• Required and prohibited mod checks
• Approved hash enforcement
• Platform/version policy
• Known cheat and runtime signature detection
• Live policy and configuration reloads
• Reviewed hash-update approvals
• In-game F8 integrity, hashing, and administration GUI
• Built-in administrator setup guide

AntiSkidAC resolves supported coremods back to their actual physical JARs and fails closed when a third-party source cannot be safely verified.

Protected Files and Folders

Some Forge mods store important gameplay data outside their main JAR.

For example, weapon mods may load gun statistics from external text files. Modifying those files can change recoil, damage, accuracy, or other behavior without modifying the actual mod JAR.

AntiSkidAC allows server owners to protect individual files or entire folders.

Examples include:

• handmadeguns_Packs
• Flan
• mcheli
• Script directories
• Selected configuration files
• Resource packs
• Shader packs
• Other external mod content

Protected folders are checked recursively.

Changing any file inside them — including adding, deleting, renaming, moving, or editing a file — changes the folder's BLAKE3-256 hash and causes verification to fail.

File timestamps and normal filesystem metadata do not affect the hash.

Nothing outside mod JARs is scanned unless it is explicitly configured.

Protected files and folders are configured through:

config/antiskidac/managed_paths.json

F8 Integrity GUI

Press F8 to open the AntiSkidAC integrity screen.

It provides access to:

• Detected mods
• Mod versions
• Source JARs
• BLAKE3 hashes
• Protected files and folders
• Verification status
• Manifest information
• Hash and JSON copy tools
• Administrator documentation

The Managed Paths page allows server owners to generate hashes for protected files and folders directly from a trusted client.

Available actions include:

• Refresh Hashes
• Copy Hash
• Copy Path
• Copy JSON Entry
• Copy All JSON

This allows a server owner to prepare valid policy files without intentionally failing verification or reading server console logs.

The generated client manifest is stored at:

config/antiskidac/client-mod-hashes.txt

Modpack Verification

Server owners can generate approved hashes from a trusted copy of their modpack.

AntiSkidAC can detect:

• Modified mod JARs
• Modified external mod content
• Wrong mod versions
• Missing required mods
• Unexpected mods
• Prohibited mods
• Missing or modified protected files
• Added or removed files inside protected folders
• Known prohibited clients
• Known runtime/injection indicators
• Unverifiable mod sources

Detected updates can be reviewed and explicitly approved instead of being trusted automatically.

Configuration

AntiSkidAC stores its configuration and policies under:

config/antiskidac/

The included:

config/antiskidac/HOW_TO_USE.txt

provides setup instructions, configuration examples, troubleshooting information, and explanations of the available policy files.

The same guide can be opened directly from the F8 menu using How to Use.

By default:

• Remote clients are required to have AntiSkidAC
• Verification failures use KICK
• Server owners can configure enforcement behavior

Most verification and enforcement settings can be reloaded while the server is running.

Policies and supported runtime settings can also be refreshed with:

/antiskidac reload

Invalid reloads preserve the last valid configuration instead of replacing it with broken policy data.

The integrated-server host is exempt from multiplayer self-attestation, while remote LAN players are still verified normally.

Generating Protected Folder Hashes

A server owner can define a folder locally without knowing its hash yet:

```json { "hmg-packs": { "path": "handmadeguns_Packs", "type": "directory" } }
