🛡️ ModGuard + Sentinel — Client Verification System

A server plugin + client mod security system that verifies legitimate clients and detects malicious modifications using a secure encrypted handshake — far more reliable than client-brand checks or simple mod name detection.

📦 Components

🔌 ModGuard — Server Plugin
Sends encrypted challenges to connecting players, verifies responses, checks mod IDs against a blacklist, enforces a minimum Sentinel version, and optionally limits total installed mods. Supports cracked servers, Geyser/Floodgate auto-bypass, configurable kick messages, player whitelist, and persistent mod history.

🧩 Sentinel — Client Mod
Installed by the player on their Fabric client. Receives the server challenge, collects the full mod list via FabricLoader, encrypts and returns it. Zero configuration. Zero performance impact.

⚙️ How It Works

Player joins
  → Server sends encrypted challenge (RSA-2048 + nonce + HMAC-SHA256 secret)
  → Sentinel collects mod list via FabricLoader
  → Sentinel encrypts response (AES-256-GCM, key wrapped with RSA/OAEP/SHA-256)
  → Server decrypts, verifies HMAC, checks protocol version + Sentinel version
  → Mod list checked against blacklist and optional count limit
  → Player approved or kicked with a configurable message

🚀 Installation

Server:

Drop ModGuard.jar into plugins/
Restart — plugins/ModGuard/config.yml and modblacklist.json are generated automatically

Client:

Drop the correct Sentinel-<version>.jar into .minecraft/mods/
Launch — no configuration needed

🔒 Security

RSA-2048 keypair generated fresh per server session — never written to disk
AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption — ciphertext is tamper-proof
HMAC-SHA256 payload signing — server secret is never sent to the client
Nonce included in every challenge — replay attacks are not possible
Protocol version verified inside the encrypted payload — cannot be spoofed by a fake Sentinel
Minimum Sentinel version enforcement — kick players running outdated client mods

🚫 Default Blacklisted Mods

Pre-seeded in modblacklist.json on first run:

meteor-client · impact · wurst · liquidbounce · aristois · sigma · thunderhack · wolfram · baritone · freecam · marlows-crystal-optimizer

Add or remove any mod ID via /modguard blacklist add <modid> or by editing modblacklist.json directly.
