BetterGuard
Server-side anti-cheat for Minecraft 1.21.1 — Fabric & NeoForge.
Players do not need the mod on their client. Drop the JAR in your server mods folder and you're set.
Why BetterGuard?
A cleaner survival or PvP server without forcing everyone to install a client-side anti-cheat pack. BetterGuard runs on the server and watches movement, combat, the world, and banned client mods.
