I am hosting a server for the sledding game. A cheater joined using severe mods (giant/tiny player size, speed hacks, infinite snowballs with extreme knockback, and spawning objects in the lodge).
I verbally warned them, but they spawned a massive meteor shower of giant snowballs, so I banned them.
However, the next day, they created a cheat mod to bypass the server ban and forced their way back into my server.
Furthermore, their official name does not appear in the player list, and once I check the list, their entry disappears completely from it.
The ban feature and player tracking are not working against this cheat. Please fix this vulnerability.
4️⃣
Ban Bypass: The banned player can easily bypass the server ban feature and force their way back into the server.
Player List Spoofing: The cheater's official name does not appear in the player list. Once the administrator checks the list, the cheater's entry disappears completely, making tracking and banning impossible.
Malicious Mods: The player can alter their size (giant/tiny), use speed hacks, shoot infinite snowballs with extreme knockback, and spawn massive objects (like a meteor shower of giant snowballs) inside the lodge.
5️⃣
Banned players must be strictly blocked from rejoining the server.
All connected players must be permanently and accurately displayed on the player list for moderation purposes.
Server-side authority should validate player actions to prevent unauthorized mod exploits (size alteration, item spawning).
6️⃣
Host a server.
A cheater joins using a custom malicious mod client.
The administrator issues a server ban to the cheater.
The cheater uses an exploit to bypass the ban and immediately rejoins the server.
Open the player list; the cheater's name is either hidden or vanishes immediately upon viewing.

I've seen this too in my server
interesting
Hey team! Just a quick update on the issue I reported earlier.The player involved actually reached out to me directly afterward and sent a sincere apology.According to them, they genuinely don't know how they managed to rejoin the server after being banned. They mentioned it might have been some kind of bug or glitch on the game's side rather than a feature of their mod.Since I don't have any way to investigate or verify whether this was a server-side loophole or an actual cheat exploit, I'll leave it up to your discretion on whether this needs a fix!The player seems genuinely remorseful and hasn't asked me to withdraw this report at all. I am also attaching a video showing the player still moving around inside the server after being banned, just for your reference.Thanks for looking into it! 🙇♂️
