Sentry
Sentry is a 100% modular Minecraft plugin offering advanced security modules (client blocking, item control, exploits patcher, ... and more!), real-time notifications (with external integrations (e.g., Discord)), server management tools, and more. Sentry ensures your server stays secure and efficient.
What is Sentry?

It intelligently blocks hacked clients and malicious mods, stops exploits, prevents bots and VPN abuse, detects cheaters, and logs everything important.
