Bypass Mod Detection

  • Download it from Modrinth
  • Download MCKotlin
  • Put both plugins in your Velocity proxy
  • And configure the plugin to block the mods and clients of your choice

The plugin is not fully effective, several malicious clients hide their client branding when entering the server or impersonate vanilla clients. However, the plugin can detect several clients such as Forge, Fabric, LiteLoader, Lunar, Vanilla, and others.

It also detects Forge 1.7.10 - 1.12.2 mods.

If you want to use ClientCatcher in Fabric, you can try https://modrinth.com/mod/clientcatcher-fabric

Placeholders

ClientCatcher provides several placeholders for use in other MiniPlaceholders-compatible plugins

If you have a Discord server on which you want to show alerts of which clients your players are using, you can activate the webhooks module and configure it like this

  • Copy the URL of the WebHook.
  • Extract the ID and Token from the URL.
  • Put those fields in the specific configuration options.
  • Restart your proxy

How to install ClientCatcher

  1. A server on Velocity

    The plugin runs on the server core for Minecraft 1.7.2–26.2; players do not need to install anything.

  2. File goes into the plugins folder

    Download the file ClientCatcher-3.2.3.jar (196 KB) and put it into the server’s plugins folder.

  3. Restart the server

    On startup the plugin creates its own settings folder in plugins.

  4. Or use the “To hosting” button

    On Millida Hosting, the button at the top of the page uploads the file to your server and restarts it for you.
