Viper Anti-Dupe
Players on a Fabric server who want to stop item and block duplication can use Viper Anti-Dupe, a server-side mod that blocks known duplication methods before extra items are created.
What it does
Viper Anti-Dupe applies server-side guards to block interactions, entity behavior, hoppers, pistons and containers, and it inspects incoming player packets for the common duplication methods listed in its configuration. It covers 25 known methods. Each method has its own switch in the config file, and a method set to true is allowed through while one set to false is blocked. Defaults block every method.
When a blocked attempt is detected, the action is cancelled, the player's container is re-synced, and the attempt is logged with its time, the player's name and the duplication type. Suspicious inventory packets such as desynced container clicks, invalid stack splits and invalid creative-mode stacks are handled the same way.
The mod is a server-side Fabric mod, so players join without installing anything. It needs Fabric API on the server and runs on newer Fabric Loader builds, from 0.19.3 for the 1.21.x and 26.1.x lines and from 0.19.5 for 26.3. Builds cover 1.21 – 26.3 with 17 release versions, and the latest file is 1.0.0 for 26.3, released under All rights reserved and not open source.
Key features
Per-method switches
Each known duplication method can be turned on or off separately in the config file, so a server can allow a specific exploit on purpose.
Attempt logging
Every blocked attempt is recorded in a log with the time, the player's name and the duplication type, giving server owners a trail to check.
Container re-sync
After a cancelled attempt, the affected container is re-synced with the server so the player sees its real contents.
Live config reload
Configuration can be reloaded while the server keeps running, with no restart needed.
