Update v3.0.0 - CheatClientDetector

This update makes the plugin more stable, expands detection to many new mods, and improves the scanning process.

What is new?

• Standalone Plugin: The plugin no longer requires ProtocolLib to run. It operates fully independently and resolves startup connection conflicts ("void future" errors) on Minecraft 1.21+.
• Reliable Sign Scans: The 8 sign check phases now run sequentially (one after the other). This prevents data from overlapping, ensuring all 8 phases are scanned successfully without skipping.
• Continuous Scanning: The scan no longer stops after the first detection. If a player is using multiple mods, the plugin will complete all 8 phases and provide admins with a complete list of all detected modifications.
• Large Mod Database Expansion: Added detection rules for over 24 new mods, including various Freecam mods, Replay mods, Auto-Clickers, Auto-Totems, and utility mods (e.g., JourneyMap, SeedCrackerX, X-Ray).

Changelog

v2.0.0 (Latest)

• Expanded Mod Detections (18 New Mods): Added checks for LiquidBounce, Wurst, FDP Client, Replay Mod, Freecam (Kapiteon & Zergatul), SeedcrackerX, Auto Totem, Inventory Profiles Next, Autoclicker, Auto Fishing, Marlow's Crystal Optimizer, DonutSMP Crystal Optimizer, FastCrystal, Tweakeroo, and Xaero Minimap/Worldmap.
• Granular Punishment System: Added the ability to enable/disable and customize first/second strike actions (NONE, KICK, BAN, COMMAND) per individual mod.
• Custom Reusable Commands: Added a custom-commands configuration block to define named command sets (such as clear-inv for clearing inventories, warn-player for display warnings, etc.) and assign them using COMMAND:<name> as strike punishments.
• Premium Configuration Overhaul: Reorganized config.yml into a cleanly separated, documented, and categorized layout.
• Tuned Delay Configuration: Expanded timings to allow per-check tick delay tuning for all sign check cycles.

v1.0.0 (Initial Release)

• Sign Translation Checks: Initial detection cycles targeting Meteor Client, Baritone, and FreeCam.

Compatibility

• Minecraft Versions: 1.20.1 - 1.21.x
