How To Restrict Which Client Mods Can Join Your Schedule 1 Server

Note:

Configuring the client_mod_policy.toml file allows server administrators to control which client-side mods players are allowed to run when connecting to your Schedule 1 server. Enforcing a client mod policy helps prevent unfair advantages, prevents game-breaking client glitches, and ensures all players share a balanced gameplay experience.

1. Log In to Your Panel

2. Select the ‘File’ Tab

3. Select the ‘User Data’ Folder

---

4. Select the ‘client_mod_policy.toml‘ File

5. Configure Client Mod Restrictions

When a player attempts to join your server, MelonLoader sends a list of all client-side mods installed on their PC. The server compares this list against client_mod_policy.toml to decide whether to allow or reject the player.

Edit client_mod_policy.toml using the following structure:

[policy]
# Options: "AllowAll", "BlockAll", or "RequireMatching"
default_action = "BlockAll"

[whitelisted_mods]
# List specific client mod IDs allowed to join when default_action = "BlockAll"
allowed = [
    "QoL_Minimap",
    "UI_Enhancements"
]

[blacklisted_mods]
# List specific client mod IDs strictly forbidden when default_action = "AllowAll"
blocked = [
    "InfiniteMoneyMod",
    "SpeedHack"
]

How the Policy Rules Work:

default_action = "AllowAll": Allows players to join with any client-side mods installed, except those explicitly listed in blocked under [blacklisted_mods]. Use this setup if you want a relaxed server where players can freely use client mods unless a mod causes griefing.

default_action = "BlockAll": Blocks all client-side mods by default, except those explicitly listed in allowed under [whitelisted_mods]. Use this setup if you want a strict server environment where only pre-approved Quality-of-Life (QoL) mods are permitted.

default_action = "RequireMatching": Requires players to have the exact same mods installed on their local PC as those running on the server. If a player has extra client mods or is missing a server mod, their connection will be rejected.
