How can I protect my modded server from cheaters?
I’m using a modded server and I want to see if there are any measures at all I can take to protect my server my hacking. I’ll do pretty much anything for a little more protection. It’s a forge server by the way.

There's not much in the ways of anti cheat on forge servers. Forge servers aren't "really" intended on being "large" and public
There's like FTBchunks, but idk how much more than that there is
Then is there any server software for mods other than spigot that has anti cheat methods?
No
Not really
Ur stuck with spigot (paper/forks)
I can’t make a mod whitelist or get an anticheat custom made?
You can definitely get an anticheat made, but it’s gonna be an expensive and long process
Easier way imo is to just do a better job at monitoring ur players, and then punish them after they cheat
Are there any good mods for like /vanish and stuff?
You can just use the vanilla spectator game mode
Then mix it with the tab plugin (I believe there is a spongeforge version)
So ur name isn’t grayed out
But I’d look into the sponge plugins
If ur on a supported forge version
It’s 1.19.4 so sponge forge doesn’t support it right?
Nop
Do you manage to find mods for that version? Just asking
I've seen many mods I like are at 1.19.2 or 1.20.1
& they dropped .3 and .4
Not very much mods
But its a server with only like 2 mods
If it's not too late & worth it, I'd move to 1.20.1 or 1.19.2
this could help you to protect your server from x-rays
FTB chunks will allow players to have protected chunks
Or was it admin only? I do not remember it, you should test
FTB chunks prevents griefing, not cheating.
But yeah, if you only have 2 mods… what are the mods? Sounds like a really easy fix to switch over to fabric on 1.20 where you will have much more luck
Or if they are simple mods, just use a vanilla server
And find a plugin that can do the same thing
IMO (this is just my opinion) avoid forge as hard as possible. Only ever use forge if you “have” to. Only reason for me to ever touch forge is if I’m on an older version playing an older mod that has no fabric alternative.
My friends said they wanna play on forge because there's more content mods there 😔
That’s when I ask them like what content, and show them alternatives
Some random shenanigan mods that add more mobs and such
All my friends who have said that exact response, can’t actually come up with a reason. It’s mainly just people being stubborn thinking it’s too much work to change.
So far, pmuch stuff like pixelmon, or super older version of Minecraft are the only reason to be on forge
Tech mods too
Like wat…
Mekanism, internal expansion and a few more are forge only rn
I've got a nice kitchen sink modpack for fabric 1.19.2 tho
yeah but as i said, there are fabric alternatives for those mods, things like modern industrialization, tech reborn, industrial revolution, etc. yeah they are bit different, but they fit the niche. Plug there are OTHER new unique mods.
and the SUPER mods, like ae2, create, etc, do have fabric versions.
so like when u ask people to start listing reasons, they just fall apart, and BARELY can come up with just a few mods, (excluding pixelmon, or much older versions of mc)
im just ready for cobblemon to catchup with content compared to pixelmon, then there is just no reason to play modern minecraft on forge
I love embracing modernity
