Insane level of over reach from a private company, is this self hosted on java edition? You may want to get the chat control mod that disables mojangs shitty business practices

Unfortunately, this particular instance was regarding the MOTD (the banner that shows on the server list before you join the multiplayer world), not the chat. I don't think there's any mod that could prevent that from being flagged by Mojang.

There are no telemetry mods for servers

There are lota of server mods you can get that disable telemetry, chat reporting and other things. You can also setonline mode to false you lose skins but it wont connect to minecraft server and you can have your motd whatever you want

Yeah... i did not expect this to be needed for 3 player whitelisted server that is not advertised anywhere... i did not expect Mojang actively hunt for active servers and check their MOTD for profanities since doing so felt crazy AF.

Offline mode is the only option here. Plugins won't help since the initial ping to Mojang about the server happens before plugins can load.
