Pixel's AntiCheat
by pixelsenpai
Pixel's AntiCheat is a NeoForge server tool that lets administrators detect and block cheat, hack and unauthorized mods on a server.
What it does
Server owners install the JAR file in the server's mods folder and start the server, after which a default configuration is generated automatically. The mod acts as a basic anti-cheat layer for Minecraft servers running NeoForge, and it helps administrators spot and prevent cheats, hacks and other unauthorized modifications among connecting players.
The mod keeps a whitelist and a blacklist of mods, so an owner decides which mods are allowed and which are blocked on the server. Common cheat mods are blocked by default, and newer ones are handled through the same settings. Suspicious mods are flagged automatically when they show harmful behavior, and integrity checks run to make tampering with the client more difficult.
Pixel's AntiCheat is built for NeoForge only, with its files covering 1.21.1 and the NeoForge beta channel. Both the server and every player need it, and it is released under the MIT License, though the project is not open source.
Key features
Mod whitelist and blacklist
Administrators list the mods that may join the server and the mods that are refused, with control over both lists.
Default blocking of common cheats
Widely used cheat mods are blocked out of the box, and the default setup covers newer cheats as they appear.
Suspicious mod detection
Mods that look potentially harmful are picked out automatically so the owner can select them for action.
Anti-tamper verification
Integrity checks confirm that the client files have not been altered to get around the server rules.
Resource pack scanning
Resource packs that offer unfair advantages, such as X-ray textures, are detected.
Configurable actions
The owner chooses how players with suspicious content are handled, from warnings to other responses set in the config.
Compatibility

Use cases
Protecting a survival server
A server owner who wants a fair survival world can block known cheat mods before players join.
Checking modded servers
Owners running a modded pack can allow approved mods and refuse everything else through the whitelist.
Who it’s for: Server administrators running NeoForge 1.21.1 servers who want control over which mods and resource packs players may use.
