No, stop hacking.

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.  If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME.  Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

 

Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked.

 

DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.

Because of client side mods that allow cheating.

 

e.g. X Ray mods.
 

X Ray mods are cheating. X Ray mods are listed in the handshake so the server can say "oh hell no."

It's not like the mod creators can't change the id and the name of the mod.

 

Idk, the whole idea of the server knowing everything I use is kinda creepy

Generally it is a good idea to let the server know what mods you have on your client in case something you do in your mod somehow conflicts with another mod. That way the other mod author can query the server if your mod is installed and enable appropriate compatibility features that they can implement themselves without relying on you specifically to fix your mod / enable compatibility on your end.

True, but I'd give the user the option to choose if they want to share this info with the server owners or not, or the mod creators.

 

Mind you it's not the big servers that can see this, this is any server out there.

Exactly why do you need a stealth mod if you're NOT doing something that's frowned upon?

This is my Forum Signature, I am currently attempting to transform it into a small guide for fixing easier issues using spoiler blocks to keep things tidy.

 

As the most common issue I feel I should put this outside the main bulk:

The only official source for Forge is https://files.minecraftforge.net, and the only site I trust for getting mods is CurseForge.

If you use any site other than these, please take a look at the StopModReposts project and install their browser extension, I would also advise running a virus scan.

 

For players asking for assistance with Forge please expand the spoiler below and read the appropriate section(s) in its/their entirety.

Created a client-side mod, connected to my server, and saw the option to see the full mods list the users use. Figured out this should be displayed only if the mod as any connection to that server. Turnes out it's not the case.

Meh, I don't like that idea. Hacked clients will name their mod something else that's undetectable anyways. This is just weird

It's giving the server owners insights on what mods their users use, which is never disclosed anywhere. Unethical.

 

Forge is a modding platform, I understand this may help in detecting hackers, but something like this can be easily exploited.

You seem to be under the impression that this is a breach of privacy... but exactly how is a users mod list sensitive information?

 

You likely interact with sites powered by Google's ad tracking services on a daily basis, the information served to advertisers by those services is, imo, more "sensitive" than your Minecraft mod list.
