Scam Reports
Trust is the currency of any multiplayer server, and on DonutSMP it can be spent fast. You grind for gear, save up spawners, and then one bad trade wipes it all out. Scam Reports exists to make sure that never happens to you again. This lightweight client-side mod, built by developer Dery, places a clear warning tag next to the nametag of any player who has been reported in the community database. No more tabbing out to check forums mid-trade, no more gut feelings. Just a simple, instant signal that tells you who to avoid.
What Scam Reports Actually Does
At its core, the mod connects your game client to an external database of reported scammers. When you load into a world and look at another player, the mod checks that player against the list. If there is a match, the word "SCAMMER" appears beside their nametag, rendered in red so it is impossible to miss. That is the whole trick, and it is a brilliant one. The information you need shows up exactly where you need it, in the moment, without breaking your immersion or your flow.
Why a Nametag Tag Beats a Spreadsheet
- You see the warning before you open a trade window, not after.
- No alt-tabbing, no Discord searching, no copy-pasting usernames.
- The tag is visible in crowded hubs where scammers love to operate.
- It works passively, so you never have to remember to check anything.
If you have ever lost a shulker of gear to a smooth talker, you already understand the value here. Prevention beats recovery every single time, especially on a server where scamming is technically allowed and therefore never punished by staff.
Supported Versions and Loaders
Scam Reports is distributed as a Fabric mod, which keeps it lightweight and compatible with most modern performance mods and quality-of-life add-ons. It targets current Minecraft Java Edition releases, and the developer keeps the build updated as new game versions roll out. Because it is client-side, you do not need server permissions or any special setup on the network side. Install it locally, launch the game, and the protection is active the moment you join a world.
If you would rather skip the manual file juggling, the foxygame.net launcher handles the whole process for you, letting you add Scam Reports to your profile with a single click and keeping it current automatically. That means no more hunting for the right jar file after every Minecraft update.
How to Install Scam Reports for Minecraft
Getting set up takes only a few minutes, even if you have never touched a mod folder before. Follow these steps and you will be protected before your next login.
Step-by-Step Setup
- Install Fabric Loader for your Minecraft version if you have not already.
- Place the Fabric API jar into your mods folder, since Scam Reports depends on it.
- Download Scam Reports and drop the jar into the same mods directory.
- Launch Minecraft through the Fabric profile and confirm the mod appears in your mod list.
- Join DonutSMP and check a few nametags to verify everything is rendering correctly.
That is the entire process. There are no config files to wrestle with and no commands to memorize. The mod simply works in the background while you play.
Reporting Scammers and Getting Support
The database is community-driven, which means it only stays accurate if players contribute. If someone scams you and they are not yet flagged, you can report them through the official Discord server. The community reviews submissions, keeps the list current, and shares updates whenever new names are added. It is a collective effort, and every report makes the server a little safer for everyone else.
Running into bugs is always possible with any mod, and the team behind Scam Reports takes those reports seriously. If something breaks, crashes, or fails to display correctly, opening a support ticket on the Discord is the fastest route to a fix. The developers are responsive and genuinely invested in keeping the tool reliable.
A Final Word on Trading Safely
Scam Reports is more than a utility. It is a statement that the DonutSMP community refuses to accept dishonesty as just part of the game. By putting scammer data directly into your HUD, it shifts the advantage back to honest players who simply want to build, trade, and enjoy the server without paranoia. Keep in mind that the mod and its creators are not affiliated with DonutSMP, and that scamming itself is permitted on the server, so this tool is a community solution rather than an official rule enforcement system. Download Scam Reports, install it once, and trade with your head held high.
