lucide:book-open.svg?color=%233B82F6&width=128&height=128 What is ModWatch?

ModWatch is a synchronization system designed to give server owners full visibility into the client-side environment of their players. By pairing a Bukkit/Spigot/Paper plugin with a lightweight Fabric client mod, you can ensure that your server remains a fair playground for everyone.

[!NOTE]
For Players: You only need to install the Client Mod.
For Server Owners: You need to install the Server Plugin on your server.

lucide:rocket.svg?color=%23F59E0B&width=128&height=128 Why choose ModWatch?

  • lucide:bar-chart-3.svg?color=%2306B6D4&width=128&height=128 Instant Insight: Admins can see a full list of a player's mods and active resource packs with a single command.
  • lucide:ban.svg?color=%23EF4444&width=128&height=128 Automated Blacklist: Instantly punish players using forbidden IDs like xray, wurst, or freecam.
  • lucide:shield-check.svg?color=%238B5CF6&width=128&height=128 Periodic Challenges: Our unique security layer sends hidden verification "challenges" every 30 seconds to ensure players can't bypass the check after joining.
  • lucide:search.svg?color=%23EAB308&width=128&height=128 Global Search: Want to know who's using a specific mod? Use /modwatch find <name> to scan everyone online.
  • lucide:refresh-cw.svg?color=%2322C55E&width=128&height=128 Anti-Outdated: Enforce a minimum version of the mod to keep your security standards high.

lucide:lock.svg?color=%2364748B&width=128&height=128 Advanced Security

ModWatch doesn't just check once on join. It uses a Challenge-Response protocol:

  1. Join Handshake: 2 seconds after joining, the server requests data.
  2. Periodic Pings: Every 30 seconds, a new random challenge is generated.
  3. Verification: If a client fails to reply or sends an invalid response, they are immediately kicked.
  4. Resilience: Optimized networking handles connection spikes and cross-platform communication seamlessly.
