An early warning of poison in the mines.
Canary is a mod that detects dangerous behavior of other mods.
Current problems that Canary detects:
- Registration of new EntityDataSerializers
- Unsafe registration of entity tracked data
- Adding new BlockState properties to vanilla blocks
In addition, Canary has the following diagnostic features:
- when enabled in the config (
"print_blockstate_report": true), a report of BlockStates will be printed to the log - the command
/canaryclient diagnoseDesyncwill generate a report of blockstates on the client and server
This mod is named after the real life practice of using canaries in coal mines to detect poisonous gasses. Like the real life counterpart, if the canary dies (the game crashes), you've got a problem.
