## What is ModWatch?<\/p>\n

**ModWatch** is a synchronization system designed to give server owners full visibility into the client-side environment of their players. By pairing a **Bukkit\/Spigot\/Paper plugin** with a lightweight **Fabric client mod**, you can ensure that your server remains a fair playground for everyone.<\/p>\n

> [!NOTE]
\n> **For Players:** You only need to install the **Client Mod**.
\n> **For Server Owners:** You need to install the **Server Plugin** on your server.<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

## Why choose ModWatch?<\/p>\n

– **Instant Insight**: Admins can see a full list of a player’s mods and active resource packs with a single command.
\n– **Automated Blacklist**: Instantly punish players using forbidden IDs like `xray`, `wurst`, or `freecam`.
\n– **Periodic Challenges**: Our unique security layer sends hidden verification “challenges” every 30 seconds to ensure players can’t bypass the check after joining.
\n– **Global Search**: Want to know who’s using a specific mod? Use `\/modwatch find ` to scan everyone online.
\n– **Anti-Outdated**: Enforce a minimum version of the mod to keep your security standards high.<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

## Advanced Security<\/p>\n

ModWatch doesn’t just check once on join. It uses a **Challenge-Response** protocol:
\n1. **Join Handshake**: 2 seconds after joining, the server requests data.
\n2. **Periodic Pings**: Every 30 seconds, a new random challenge is generated.
\n3. **Verification**: If a client fails to reply or sends an invalid response, they are immediately kicked.
\n4. **Resilience**: Optimized networking handles connection spikes and cross-platform communication seamlessly.<\/p>\n
