Server Eye

Overview

Server Eye is a Mod designed for Forge and NeoForge, giving Server Owners the ability to Blacklist certian modIds to prevent Players with these Mods from joining the Server.

How does this work?

Once a Player connects to your Server, the Client of Server Eye will send all Mod Data to the Server, which will the be compared to the Blacklist set in server_eye-common.toml. If a modId matches, the Player will be kicked from the Server, asking them to remove the Mod.

Best use-case

I personally recommend doing this, as it is an ideal outcome.

The best use case by far is if your Server is Modded and has a Modpack! You can just add Server Eye to the Modpack, so Players do not have to install it manually.

Then, simply put Server Eye on the Server's end, configure it to match your needs, Blacklist some Mods via there modId and you should be good to go.

Heads up!

I made this Mod for my Server, and only published it in the hoppes that people may find it useful. Server Eye is not perfect, but I will try to maintain the Project as best as I can.

Configuration

You can find Server Eye's Config under Files > Config > server_eye-common.toml

# This is how you add modIds
blacklistedMods = ["freecam", "xray"]

# This is how you add Players
whitelistedPlayers = ["Player1", "Player2"]

Commands

Server Eye has a few simple Commands, which can be accessed via /server_eye

Q&A

Fabric Support?

I have no plans to port this Project to Fabric. ClientID is an allot better alternative then what I created here. So if you want something simular for Fabric, use ClientID!

Is this Server-Side only?

No. there is no known methood to do so for Forge and NeoForge. You can get more detail below.

Can you make this a Plugin?

Yes, I could. I can make the Server-side of Server Eye a Plugin. But, it would still need its Client-side to work correctly. Players would still need to Download the Mod, even if it is a Plugin.

Even if there are methoods to do so without the Mod, they are not as reliable as a Plugin Mod pair, I do not have plans for any kind of Plugin Support.

Is Server Eye reliable?

Yes, it should be in most cases, but ofcourse, nothing is perfect. So, you cannot just add this and expect that if you Blacklist Freecam that your Players cannot use it anymore, there are ways to bypass Mods like Server Eye.
