Description

What it does

Install this mod, join any server, type .plugins in chat - and it tells you which plugins that server runs. No permissions needed, no admin access, just from being a normal player.

How

A server constantly leaks information about its own plugins without meaning to: item textures, sounds, scoreboard names, the list of commands you can tab-complete, the resource pack it sends you. This mod quietly reads all of that and matches it against a big list of known plugins - so instead of guessing, you get real names.

If a server tries to hide its plugin list (some do, on purpose), the mod also does light active probing - the exact same kind of request your client already sends whenever you press TAB - to see past that.

Why you'd want this

  • Curious what's running on a server you play on.
  • Studying how a server's anti-cheat or security setup works.
  • Comparing what a server claims to run vs. what it actually runs.

Commands

.plugins             quick check - works on almost every server
.plugins fast         instant, sends nothing extra to the server
.plugins deep         slower, digs deeper into every command
.plugins dl <name>    download one of the plugins found, if it's public
.plugins extract      save the server's resource pack / data pack
.plugins stop         cancel a scan in progress

Client-side mod. Nothing to install on the server, nothing the server can detect.
