Simple Anti X-Ray
by Haven King
On a Fabric server, Simple Anti X-Ray is a utility that keeps ore blocks concealed from any player whose line of sight does not reach them.
What it does
Simple Anti X-Ray hides ore blocks that a player cannot see directly, which makes strip-mining for ore harder to do with an x-ray client. A list of blocks controls what gets hidden, and the list can be changed in the config to cover modded ores and other blocks.
Key features
Line-of-sight hiding
Ores are hidden from players who do not have a direct line of sight to them, limiting what an x-ray client can reveal.
Configurable block list
The set of hidden blocks is defined in a list that server owners can edit, including modded ores.
Server-side operation
The filtering runs on the server, so players join without installing anything.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
How it compares
Fabric also has fixEcount, which is open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and runs client-side only, so it changes nothing on the server. AntiDrop is open source under the Apache License 2.0 and needs both client and server, while OreHider is a Forge mod for 1.7.10, server-side only, under a custom license.
