This was actually my first plugin! :D
This plugin helps server owners and mods see if and what modified minecraft clients their players are using!
Features:
- A command to see what client a player is using.
- An option to include the player's client in the join message.
- An option to block certain clients.
- And more coming soon!
Permissions:
(for luckperms etc. Don't forget that with op you will have all of these permissions by default)
- clientdetector.* (Gives you every permission related to the Client Detector plugin!)
- clientdetector.command.* (Allows you to use all Client Detector commands.)
- clientdetector.command.client (Allows you to use the /client command.)
- clientdetector.clientblocker.bypass (Lets you join the server even if you are using a blocked client.)
- clientdetector.joinmessage.hide (Prevents the server from showing your client in the join message.)
Commands:
- /client(or /getclient)
- /clientdetector(, /cd, /clientd or /cdetector)
Q & A:
Q: Does this work with ViaVersion?
A: Yes!
Q: Can this detect Geyser players?
A: I don't know as i can't seem to figure out how to set a geyser server up.
Q: What clients does this support?
A: All clients (that are not pretending to be vanilla) can be detected!
Q: Can you add Velocity support?
A: Velocity support may come in the future but it's likely not coming soon.
Q: Does this work on 1.20.2?
A: All releases release should work however it is currently not tested.
Don't forget that if you find bugs or have suggestions you can report them at https://github.com/Fritcha/Client-Detector/issues
