A client-side Minecraft mod that provides protection against client fingerprinting, tracking exploits, and other privacy focused features.
Warning
OpSec is a vibecoded procrastination project! Although the features here are tested, do not rely on this mod for actual security. We recommend using ExploitPreventer if you're looking for a robust and mature protection made by real competent people. However OpSec tries to bring way more to the table with loads of interative customizations and other protective elements.

The settings menu is accessible via the OpSec button in the multiplayer server selection menu footer or Mod Menu.
If settings are changed while connected to a server it is recommended to reconnect to the server to ensure changes are applied.

- Translation Exploit Detected: Server is probing your keybind
- Resource Pack Fingerprinting Detected: Suspicious resource pack URL detected
- Local URL Scan Detected: Resource pack attempted to scan local network
Servers can detect your client brand (Vanilla, Fabric, Forge, etc.) to fingerprint you or restrict modded clients.
OpSec intercepts the client brand packet sent to servers and replaces it with your chosen brand. You can appear as:
- Vanilla
- Fabric
- Forge
Important
Server plugins like AntiSpoof can detect the discrepancy between the client brand name and mod channels and flag clients for spoofing if Channel Spoofing wasen't enabled.
Based on LiquidBounce.
Server-required resource packs could be used to fingerprint client instance across accounts.

Instead of storing all resource packs in a shared cache (~/.minecraft/downloads/), OpSec creates separate cache directories for each account UUID.
Based on ExploitPreventer
Malicious servers can send resource pack URLs to probe your local network devices.
https://alaggydev.github.io/posts/cytooxien/
OpSec detects resource pack URLs pointing to local/private IP addresses and redirects them to an invalid address (http://0.0.0.0:0/opsec-blocked), tricking the server into thinking that requests failed naturally.
Servers can send translatable text in signs and anvils containing keys like key.attack or key.hide_icons to probe which keys you have bound or mod UI elements your client can resolve. This can reveal the client's installed mods.

OpSec intercepts translation keys and blocks Minecraft from resolving them based on your selected brand mode:
- Vanilla mode: Blocks all mod keys, returns default keybind values for vanilla keys
- Fabric mode: Allows Fabric API keys and whitelisted mod keys, blocks everything else
- Forge mode: Returns fabricated Forge/FML translation values (e.g.,
fml.menu.mods→"Mods"), blocks other mod keys
When Fake Default Keybinds is disabled, vanilla keybinds resolve to their actual values.
Spoofing mod keybinds (Returns raw translation keys/fallback instead of keybind values):
[key.meteor-client.open-commands] '.'→'key.meteor-client.open-commands'
[key.meteor-client.open-gui] 'Right Shift'→'key.meteor-client.open-gui'
Spoofing vanilla keybinds with Fake Default Keybinds enabled (Returns default keybinds):
[key.hotbar.6] 'Q'→'6'
[key.hotbar.7] 'E'→'7'
[key.hotbar.8] 'R'→'8'
Forge mode fabrication (Returns fake Forge values):
[fml.menu.mods] 'fml.menu.mods'→'Mods'
[forge.configgui.forgeCloudsEnabled] 'forge.configgui.forgeCloudsEnabled'→'Use Forge cloud renderer'
Meteor client has their own key protection implementation which can lead to a guaranteed detection with the translation key exploit.
Sometimes the server uses a fallback value so that instead of expecting the raw key from a Vanilla client its expecting the fallback value instead.
Key doesn't exist → returns fallbackvalue
Meteor's key spoofing implementation:
1. When the server sends a sign with {"translate":"key.meteor-client.open-gui", "fallback":"⟦FALLBACK⟧"}:
2. Meteor intercepts during AbstractSignEditScreen constructor
3. Detects "meteor-client" in the key
4. REPLACES the TranslatableTextContent with PlainTextContent.Literal("key.meteor-client.open-gui") to prevent Minecraft from resolving it to key bind values
When the server uses a sign exploit with fallback value on Meteor Client:
'key.meteor-client.open-gui' 'Right Shift'→'key.meteor-client.open-gui'
What a Vanilla response would actaully be:
'key.meteor-client.open-gui' '⟦FALLBACK⟧'→'⟦FALLBACK⟧'
OpSec's bandaid fix for Meteor is to blacklist the AbstractSignEditScreenMixin Mixin to disable Meteor's broken translation protection. Allowing OpSec's protection to take over, which already handle fallbacks correctly to match the Vanilla response.
Servers can query your registered network channels to detect which mods you have installed.
When enabled, OpSec spoofs mod channels that are registered with the server based on your selected brand:
- Vanilla mode: Blocks ALL mod channels (pure vanilla client)
- Fabric mode: Only allows Fabric API channels and whitelisted mods, blocks other mods
- Forge mode: Imitate Forge channels, blocks all mod channels
Warning
May break server-dependent mod(s) if not whitelisted. Use the Mod Whitelist to exempt specific mods like VoiceChat or disable channel spoofing.
Some mods require server communication to function properly (e.g., VoiceChat, Xaero's Minimap waypoint sharing). The whitelist allows you to exempt specific mods from channel spoofing and translation exploit protection.
When enabled:
- Brand is forced to Fabric to since you are revealing Fabric mods
- Whitelisted mods can register their channels and translation keys normally
- Non-whitelisted mods remain hidden from the server
Note
Only mods that register network channels or translation keys are shown in the whitelist.
Based on No Chat Reports.
Cryptographic signatures by default are attached to every chat messages. Removing them makes it impossible to track and associate your chat messages with your Minecraft client, and, by extension, Microsoft account.
Modes:
- OFF: Strip all chat signatures, but prevents you from chatting in servers that enforces secure chat.
- Auto: Only sign messages when the server enforces secure chat.
- ON: Default Minecraft behavior, signs every messages.
Based on Meteor Client.
Add Minecraft accounts with session tokens and switch between them without restarting the game.
- Session Token Login - Add accounts using access tokens
- Refresh Token - Fetch new session tokens for expired accounts
- Account Switching - Click an account to login, click again to logout to original account
- Token Validation - Refresh to check if tokens are still valid (expired tokens marked red)
- Import/Export - Backup and restore accounts via JSON files
Note
Session tokens expire after some time. Use the Refresh button to check validity.

Minecraft collects and sends telemetry data to Mojang, including:
- Game events and player actions
- Performance metrics
- Client configuration
- Usage statistics
OpSec blocks telemetry sending to Mojang when telemetry blocking is enabled. Does not effect gameplay.
