Detection Logging

How It Works
ModDetectorPlugin monitors plugin message channels that clients register when connecting. Many client-side mods register channels to communicate with servers, even if the server doesn't have a corresponding plugin. By detecting these channel registrations, the plugin can identify which mods a player is using.
