HermesProxy Detection

[Novivy]

Does there is any way to detect server side that the player is using hermesproxy/1.14 client?

Do you send any info that we could use to identify it? like a special packet/opcode or something?

There are a lot of issues with this client and we want to warn players if they are using it.

You could check if a player is connecting with a "MACOS" client, because there is no way a real player is using this client.
But if someone changes this in their HermesConfig there is no easy way to detect a Hermes player.

Keep in mind that banning HermesProxy by default might upset some people, because for example playing on vanilla servers with an ARM based Mac is only possible via HermesProxy other methods might result in 15 fps.

Thank you for your quick answer. We won't ban it but just warn players that there are issues, like custom items not loading/displaying and elevators getting out of sync or transports not appearing sometimes

Hey there was just wondering is that project/server you are talking is it already a thing or a very early thing, since i have not heard for a new vanilla server coming soon?
