anticheat
anticheat is a Fabric client-side utility that scans the local mods folder when Minecraft starts and flags keywords tied to cheat clients.
What it does
Each time Minecraft starts, the mod checks the mods folder on the local computer for keywords tied to cheat clients, naming Meteor and Wurst as examples. It is meant to help keep multiplayer play fair and to let a player check that their setup is free of such tools. Only the client needs it, so players install it and servers do not. Files are published for Fabric, for 1.21 – 1.21.11 across five release versions, with 1.2.2+mc1.21.8 for 1.21.8 as the latest, under the MIT License; it is not open source.
Key features
Automatic startup scan
The local mods folder is scanned without any action from the player each time Minecraft launches.
Keyword detection
Filenames and contents are matched against a set of keywords linked to known cheat clients.
Single-purpose tool
The mod has no in-game screen or settings beyond the scan, keeping its function narrow and simple.
