No. ClientModGate runs on the Paper server. A companion client component is optional. ### Does ClientModGate ban Fabric? No. Fabric and Fabric API are not treated as cheating by themselves. Enforcement requires an installed CMG rule with sufficient evidence. ### Does it replace an anti-cheat? No. ClientModGate handles client-mod visibility and policy. Use behavioral checks for movement, combat, reach and automation. ### Can every GUI action run from console? Every important administrative operation has a command equivalent. Inventory interfaces remain available only in game. ### Can messages be customized? Yes. Edit `messages/en.yml` or `messages/fr.yml`. Updates preserve customized values and add missing defaults. ### Where can I download the plugin? Use the official [ClientModGate Modrinth page](https://modrinth.com/plugin/clientmodgate). ### Who created ClientModGate? ClientModGate is authored by **pierrecreeper**. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

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/faq.md?ask=&goal= ``` `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.
