    About

    X-SHIELD is a server administration tool that audits players’ installed mods, resource packs, and shader packs to help operators find unauthorized clients and X-Ray content. It fingerprints files and analyzes resource packs for techniques such as redirected blockstates, hollow-shell models, forced brightness, and transparent filler textures, while structural checks look for suspicious mod behavior and can recognize repacked variants. Operators can receive interactive in-game alerts with options to spectate a player, inspect their mod list, or take moderation actions; optional Discord integration provides alerts and moderation controls as well. Per-player session logs record file lists, and persistent ore records include timestamps, dimensions, and coordinates so operators can review mining activity and investigate patterns such as unusually high rates of ores found enclosed in stone. Configurable detection methods, thresholds, whitelists, and project or file blacklists let server staff tune what is flagged, while evidence scoring distinguishes strong matches from weaker signals and keeps newer analysis checks from automatically banning players. The mod requires installation on both the server and clients, and is intended to complement rather than replace server-side anti-cheat, with suspicious findings left for operators to assess.

    Written from Modrinth and CurseForge . How we write it

    In-game changes

    Does not change the game's code directly.

    Adds 1 block: Example Block; 1 item: Example Item.

    Counted from the names and data files in the mod, so the list may not be complete.

    Keeps all of vanilla Minecraft's textures, models and sounds.

    Security

    No harmful code found in the parts we could check

    We checked its files and read their code, without running it.

    One of its files for recent versions cannot be checked: its author does not let other sites download it from CurseForge.

    What it can do on your computer

    Creates settings files
    The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them. 3 files in your config folder.
    Connects to the internet
    It has code that can go online, for example to check for updates, load skins or send crash reports. No web address is written in its code. See Privacy

    Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.

    How we checked · 1 of 2 latest files checked, last on 16 Oct 2026
    • FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.
      2 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. Both are for recent versions. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. 1 of them is not checked yet. See each file in Releases
    • Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.

    Privacy

    Sends unknown data

    Sent to an address built while the game runs.

    We found this in its code, read without running it.

    We have read the code of 1 of its 2 files for recent versions.

    Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.

    How we checked · 1 of 2 files read
    • Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.
      The code of 1 of 2 files, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
    • Address built while the game runsThe code builds this address while the game runs: it is not written in the file.
      Purpose not known.

    • Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares crash reports, usage data and advertisements. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a project collects data on its users or shows advertisements.
      Nothing declared about crash reports, usage data or advertisements.

    AI

    No sign that AI was used to make it

    We looked for AI tools in its texts, files and images and found none.

    No sign of AI in the game

    We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.

    Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.

    How we checked · 5 places read
