Frequently asked

Does Anti Motd Scanner work on Minecraft 26.1.2?

Yes. 26.1.2 is the newest Minecraft version Anti Motd Scanner declares support for, and the claim comes from the author's own release metadata rather than from a compatibility list somebody maintains by hand.

Which Minecraft versions does Anti Motd Scanner support?

Everything the author has declared, from 1.21 up to 26.1.2. The full list is in the table above, with the Java runtime each version needs next to it.

Do I need to install Anti Motd Scanner on the client or the server?

The server only. Players join with an ordinary Minecraft client and install nothing.

Which server software does Anti Motd Scanner need?

Spigot, Purpur, Paper. A build for one server platform will not load on another, so this is the first thing to check before the Minecraft version.

Which Java version do I need for Anti Motd Scanner?

Java 25 or newer, because that is what the newest Minecraft release it supports requires. The requirement comes from the game rather than from the plugin itself.

What licence is Anti Motd Scanner under?

MIT, as stated by the author on the platform we synced it from. Check the project's own page before redistributing or bundling it.

How do I install Anti Motd Scanner?

Download the file from the author's own release, drop it into your server's plugins folder, and restart the server. It generates its configuration on first start. Check the Minecraft version matches the one your server runs.

Where do I download Anti Motd Scanner safely?

From the author's own page on Modrinth, which is where the data here is synced from. MCReference never mirrors, re-hosts or repackages a file: every download button points at the original source, so you get exactly what the author published.
