Exploit Preventer Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I know if the mod is actually working?
Check your game logs after joining a server—the mod will record when it blocks mod snooping attempts or suspicious resource pack connections. You can also visit a test server known to probe for mods; if the mod is active, it will silently block the probe instead of revealing your mod list.
Will this mod break legitimate server features?
No. The mod only blocks malicious probes and forced connections; normal plugin communication and server functionality like scoreboard updates, chat, and legitimate resource packs work as intended.
Do I need to configure anything after installing?
The mod works out of the box with no configuration needed. It automatically shields you the moment you join any server.
What happens to my resource packs when I change my username?
Each account gets its own isolated resource pack folder, so changing your name or IP won't leave a trail connecting your old identity to your new one on the same server.
Can servers still see what mods I have if I tell them?
Yes—the mod only stops *hidden* probing through signs, anvils, and fake resource packs. If you manually share your mod list or a server asks directly, that's your choice.
Does this mod slow down my game?
No. The mod runs passive checks in the background and has minimal performance impact since it only intercepts and blocks suspicious requests.
Will this mod get me banned from servers?
No. Blocking exploits is not cheating—you're protecting your privacy from server-side attacks, not gaining unfair advantages in gameplay.
What if a server uses a fake resource pack to track me?
The mod detects when a server tries to force your game to connect to your local network or files through a resource pack and blocks that connection automatically.
Can I see which servers have tried to probe me?
Yes, check your game logs for entries from the mod—it records blocked mod snooping attempts and suspicious connection requests so you know which servers tried to exploit you.
Does this mod work with other security or privacy mods?
Yes. The mod is designed to work alongside other client-side mods without conflict, though you should avoid installing multiple mods that do identical exploit-blocking to prevent redundancy.
