FairPlay

FairPlay

Validates the client mod list to keep gameplay fair. FairPlay is designed for server administrators and players who want to ensure clients are running a legitimate, unmodified game environment.

Features

• Client Mod List: Lists active client mods if the client has the mod installed
• Mod Blacklist: Configurable blacklist of prohibited mods
• Auto-kick: Optionally automatically kick players using blacklisted mods or does not have FairPlay installed
• Time Flexibility: Adjustable timeframe for mod validation during server join

Commands

• /fairplay: Check if the mod is installed on the server
• /fairplay reload: Reloads the mod configuration from JSON file
• /fairplay modlist <player_username>: View the active client mods of a player (requires the player to have the mod installed)

Configuration

FairPlay is configured via fairplay.json in the server config directory. The file is regular JSON, so list values are saved as arrays and the current schema looks like this:

{
  "configVersion": 2,
  "enabled": true,
  "requiredEnforcementMode": "OFF",
  "whitelistPlayers": ["never_a_cheater"],
  "blacklistPlayers": ["history_of_cheating"],
  "handshakeWindowMS": 3000,
  "modEnforcementMode": "BLACKLIST",
  "modWhitelist": [],
  "modBlacklist": ["meteor-client"]
}
