A beta scanner for Minecraft plugin jars that says it checks for backdoors, altered releases, vulnerable dependencies, and performance hazards.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-05 issue.
For
Minecraft server owners and plugin developers
Worth noticing
Its illustrative report flags a hidden operator-grant trigger, runtime code loading, and a jar mismatch with severity labels.

Field notes

The page says the beta accepts Modrinth, Hangar, SpigotMC, and GitHub links, direct jar downloads, or uploaded .jar files. It describes decompiling the archive without running it, then checking release hashes, malware patterns, dependencies, suspicious behavior, and main-thread work. A displayed AuctionPlus report is explicitly illustrative, and the code-audit and Pro offerings are described as coming soon.
