A Fabric mod to prevent coordinate exploits based on texture rotation and position offsets. Or if you prefer how it looks!<\/p>\n
Compatible with Vanilla MC, Sodium, and custom texture\/resource packs<\/p>\n
# How the mod works<\/p>\n
This mod can either:
\n1. Disable block texture rotations and offsets
\n2. Replace the random function with a secure implementation, which will retain the normal visual feel of the game<\/p>\n
## Configuration<\/p>\n
There are two ways to configure the mod in-game:
\n1. Install YetAnotherConfigLib and ModMenu
\n2. Install Sodium. A page for NoTextureRotation settings will be added to the Video Settings.<\/p>\n
The configuration file is located at: `.minecraft\/config\/no-texture-rotations.json`<\/p>\n
## What’s the exploit?<\/p>\n
Many blocks like grass, dirt, and stone have *variations* that rotate or change their textures slightly.<\/p>\n
Texture variants are not inherently bad, they make the game visually more interesting as they prevent blocks from looking “same-y” when many are next to each other.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The problem is that the “random” number used to select the variant is seeded by the block’s position in-game. No world seed is required.<\/p>\n
Offsets works similarly, some blocks like flowers offset their position from the center of the block with a “random” offset.<\/p>\n
Any screenshots or videos that show examples of these blocks are susceptible to an attacker cracking the block coordinates.<\/p>\n
On anarchy servers, this can be particularly powerful – leading to bases with images or videos shared being found.<\/p>\n
This is not a new discovery, and the method has been known since at least before 2018 and is still regularly used today
