Make launcher send info about speed reach and Kb to server

What about making the clients send the following information to servers: Reach, speed, knockback

And notify if any of these values changes during a players time on the server. 

That way we can still have modifications but changing certain values can make servers stop u from joining certain gamemodes. So you can still join the server and wont get banned but you can only join pvp gamemodes if ur reach is 3 and so on.

Only sending reach, speed and kb values wouldnt be interfering with privacy.

This would still allow the user to use mods to their pleasing without restriciting them in anyway. What gets sent to the server can be changed but only by Microsoft/minecraft developers (so if any values in the future is needed to keep the game cheater free then it could be added in a small update).

    Even if you were to send reach, kb and speed values, you could just edit the code and set reach to 3.

    Plus the server already knows these values.

    If they know these values, then why don't they just ban when over a value?
    Because of lag, these values can be skewed, speed values especially, and if you were to ban if over those values, anyone who lags will get banned.

    And Minecraft can't detect if you've changed those values, as because Minecraft is so moddable, any countermeasures can easily just be removed.

    This way, servers wont need an anticheat and we would not need a client side anticheat either. Server could just ban people since they know their reach value when they join.
