# Detection limits

## Detection limits

ClientModGate evaluates only information visible to the Paper server. This reduces loader-based false positives, but it also creates technical limits.

### Silent or spoofed clients

A modified client can hide or falsify identifying information. No Paper plugin can guarantee a complete inventory of files installed on a player's computer.

### Resource packs

Vanilla Minecraft does not reveal the names of locally selected resource packs. Use Paper Anti-Xray to reduce ore visibility through X-ray packs.

### Behavioral cheats

Movement, reach, combat, mining and automation still require behavioral server-side checks.

### Empty reports

An empty report means that no installed CMG rule matched the observed evidence. It does not prove that the client is completely unmodified.

### Recommended setup

Use:

1. ClientModGate for client-mod policy.
2. A behavioral anti-cheat for player actions.
3. Paper Anti-Xray for ore visibility.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://clientmodgate.gitbook.io/clientmodgate/reference/detection-limits.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
