How to not let inventory edited players play on my server?

[Ghost]

I'm curious as to how I can stop people with edited/modded items from playing in my server, I seen it on other people's servers and I'd like to know how it can be done.

try enabling SSC (server side chars) if thats not what your looking for idk

[Fluffy Neko here! Depresso Cat!]

Ssc is kinda annoying, there are custom built plugins that allow users to let other users join servers with some defualt gear ect. Besides that there are lots of people who use terrahax,invedit,gameiki mod, and just custom clients (The most difulult to defend from, due to the fact that they dont use any hacks besides their modded,rebuilt terraria files) So there are not many ways you can do what you said there on top, but there is ssc, not the best but will do if you rly inteend to hold them back.

Neko out!

Serverside Characters is a feature on the TShock server hosting software. It completely clears the players' inventories on first connection (but don't worry- they will get their original items back when they disconnect) and on connections after that their inventory will keep being replaced by the items they accumulated whilst -on- the server. :)

im pretty sure that if you crash with that on your character loses everything that you got before going to the server

Just use server sided inventory, think of it like taking the main feature from minecraft to terraria.

But a word of warning, if someone is using a modified client they can spawn things in after registering and logging in.

So that ''new'' character wont be so new for long in that case.

Also did you stop to consider that people actually ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ played the game to get those end-game items? no? everyone just cheats? i play the game so ♥♥♥♥ off with your ''inventory edited'' character theory.

By "inventory-edited", do you mean players who InvEdit unobtainable items like SDMG and Steampunk Wings?
In that case, banning those items would solve things.

If by "inventory-edited" you mean people who use post-plantera items on a pre-hardmode world, then I believe Serverside Characters would be the best choice.

An alternative choice however, is the Whitelist.

By inventory-edited I mean stuff like TerrariForm, TerrariaViewer, TSGE. Just to be able to edit their character and join a game with those items and stats that are not legit.

I play with a bunch of friends saying we'll all start fresh but they are trolls so I want to take things into my own hands and force them to not inv-hack cause I know they all do it.

I've seen stuff on public servers where if you join a game with modded in items they'll force you to remove it out of your inventory before you can move or do anything and if the items are legit they let you keep it, thats the thing I really want to know how to do.

If you want to force them to use legit new chars, use ssc
