Could you just check for root access on game launch? Then deny opening app or deny multiplayer mode on rooted devices? Provide a small check at the opening load screen only when app is initialized, maybe have app request super user then if user grants it try to do a harmless function not allowed without superuser then a code to check if said function was successfully then undo change and pop a message box indicating user should leave root mode try again.

Also you could just run multiplayer mode from a server and single player from device and let single players hex edit freely.
