Verify a certificate
Every certificate number resolves to a live record. If a badge cannot be matched to one, treat the mod as unverified.
Certificate lookup
Twelve characters, printed under the badge wordmark.
Checking without the number
Scan the QR code on the certificate or badge with any camera app. It points at https://backprobe.org/verify/ followed by the number. If a QR code sends you anywhere else, the certificate is not ours.
Automated checks
Launchers and modpack tooling can query the read-only endpoint directly:
GET https://backprobe.org/api/verify/BP-4KX9-2PB7-QM3V
{
"status": "valid",
"certified": true,
"build": { "sha256": "e3b0c442…" },
"expires_at": "2027-02-14 09:31:00"
} No key required. Rate limited to 120 requests per five minutes per address.
Something looks wrong?
If a mod is displaying a badge you cannot verify, or a certified build behaves maliciously, file an abuse report. We action reports against live certificates first.
