Keep your players updated to the latest mods for your server automatically!
What I'm Developing
- Modfirm.jar: Separate java instance application that handles the version checking, mods verification, and Debugging.
- Modfirm-versions.jar: Fabric/Forge mod that contacts the server for its version and doesn't let the player join if there is any mismatch.
- Modfirm-server.jar: Fabric/Forge mod that requires the client to have modfirm-versions.jar installed and responds to version requests.
- Modfirm-helper.jar: Separate application that may help you obtain your mods list and each mod's SHA256 hash.
Other things you need
- Google Sheets API Key: For public access to your...
- Google Sheets: which stores and handles versions, hashes and other information.
These mods are very much in development. I try to make sure everything is well documented in the code for the sake of future documentation. I will publish my own documentation on how to build and install this for servers and clients when I am done.
I will prioritize getting everything set-up for my use case first before I attempt to make this mod more "open" to other users. This means that I may hard-code values which should be more accessible (like to be put in a .json file instead).
Side Note: This program/mod does not aim to moderate the mods a user has upon joining a server. You can add that functionality yourself but that is not the goal of this project.

Basically everything is open source except for the times it isn't.
If you plan to modify this mod and re-release it, you must release it with the same license, or something more "open".
