Watdad

Ultimate client sided anti-xray tool.

What is Watdad?

Watdad is a mod designed to support moderation. With this can you easily track x-rayers. This mod was inspired by Watson. Watson isn't supported for +1.21.4, so this is a nice minimalistic alternative.

Why this mod?

Well, with this mod can you or your staff team watch what xrayers see when they are cheating. This is completely fool proof, as the ore highlighting is locked behind spectator mode and the highlighting doesn't glow through walls. So your own staff won't abuse this mod.

Features
