Is there any way to check client info?

I'm wondering if there's a way a plugin can check a player's client info, such as get the name of the jar/version they're running.

 

@nbrandwine

You can check what version they're running by if they connect to your server.

 

@nbrandwine Yes. But you have to use packets. To get the client's version, you use

Code:

((CraftPlayer) player).getHandle().playerConnection.networkManager.getVersion()

Here are the return values:

• 1.7.2 - 4
• 1.7.6 - 5
• 1.8 - 47

 

@nverdier @mythbusterma Ty. Ah, is there any way to check the name of the jar they're using?

 

@nbrandwine No, I'm nearly sure. Are you trying to check is a player is using hacks? Impossible, I'm pretty sure, do it it the way you're trying to.

 

@nbrandwine

Look here:

http://wiki.vg/Protocol which packet do you use to request jarfile names?

 

Uh... I have no idea. I'll look but if you know... pls-hlp.

I'm just trying to check the name of the client's jar. As stated by buster above, I need to check stuff first.
Any help is helpful.

It's not on that list. It isn't possible.

 

Crap. This one server banned me because I had my own custom client. They said they got the name of my client and banned me.

 

@nbrandwine They probably just caught you hacking and decided to tell you that for some reason.

 

The only hack I used was fullbright and a mob-esp. I don't pvp much.

 

@nbrandwine Hmmm... There's no way to find the name of the jar file the client is using, but maybe some other way... I honestly have no idea, but I'll try to look into it and get back to you if I find anything.

 

thank you very much!
