Kinetic Anti-Cheat

by SleepingTea

Kinetic Anti-Cheat is a Forge utility for servers that scans each joining player's mods folder against a whitelist and blocks X-ray and radar mods.

ForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.7.10 – 1.12.2

What it does

When a player connects, the mod reads the mods folder on the client and compares it with the server's whitelist. A player whose folder holds a mod outside the list is kicked, and the server writes a log naming the mods that player tried to join with. The log also keeps copies of the illegal client folder, so an administrator can see what was installed. A server owner who wants to let a specific mod through adds it to the whitelist, and the next join with that mod is allowed.

The mod targets cheats that reveal ore positions, such as Pokeradar and Pixelradar, which are LiteLoader mods, and it can block unknown Forge mods built for 1.12 that carry the same kind of hack. It is also meant to catch X-ray texture packs and Sponge Anti-Xray or Orebfuscator setups on servers running Bukkit or Spigot. The mod is available for 1.7.10 and 1.12.2 files only, and it needs Modchecker on both the server and the client to work. The author also provides a video guide on setting it up.

Key features

  1. Mods folder scan

    On join, the client's mods folder is checked against a server-side whitelist of allowed mods.

  2. Kick and log

    Players with unlisted mods are kicked, and a log names the mods they tried to join with.

  3. Illegal folder capture

    The log keeps a copy of the client folder that held the disallowed mods, for later inspection.

  4. LiteLoader radar blocking

    Pokeradar and Pixelradar LiteLoader mods are blocked from joining, along with other ore-revealing hacks.

  5. Whitelist additions

    An administrator can add a specific mod to the whitelist so players running it may join.

What the author says

Kinetic Anti-Cheat scans a player's mods folder and checks it against a whitelist that can be modified by you. If it finds a mod that is not on the whitelist, it will kick them from the server. After kicking the player, the anti-cheat will then print a log with the mods the player tried to join with and their name…
