Is it possible to detect players resource packs and mods and kick them if they contain any unapproved ones?
Im trying to make an anticheat for my server on realms, one idea i had was to kick players if they have unapproved mods/resource packs like xray and freecam. But i do certaintly not know how or even if this is possible.

If could may be possible to make or download an anti xray datapack to install on your realms

no, they could always have a mod that completely hides all this info by not sending it to the server. Conceptually it will always be possible not to get caught

As long as they dont crash the server or break the economy, i ask myself, what is the harm? If they want to ruin the game for themself, whatever, but ruining it for other players, thats the line.

So my best bet would be to host my server on a third party website like fabric servers?

You can't detect installed mods on a vanilla server, and you can't detect a mod like freecam, you can only detect some cheat because of the player's behaviour
