We chose to implement a lightweight, server-side anti-cheat plugin that focuses on detecting and preventing common exploit types like movement hacks and item duplication. This choice was made to keep the plugin easy to maintain and update without requiring significant resources or external dependencies. It also allows us to avoid the potential privacy and legal issues that come with more invasive client-side solutions.
The selected plugin uses simple checks that run in real-time during gameplay, such as monitoring for impossible movement speeds or unexpected inventory changes. These checks are designed to be fast and efficient, ensuring they don't impact server performance or player experience. While not perfect, they provide a solid baseline of protection that fits the needs of our community.
We also considered plugins that offer more advanced features like automated bans or detailed logging, but those often come with complexity and a higher risk of false positives. Our priority is maintaining a welcoming and fair environment, and we believe a simpler, more transparent system aligns better with that goal. If needed, we can expand the system later with additional safeguards.
