MLSAC

Overview

MLSAC is a Minecraft server anti-cheat built around cloud-scored combat checks and configurable punishments. It is best suited to server owners targeting combat cheats who want detection handled away from the game server. Its free Beginner plan is a useful entry point, but daily request pauses and paid-model conditions limit how far that starting tier can go.

Key features

MLSAC examines camera movement and related combat packets for KillAura, TriggerBot, AimAssist, Reach and hits through walls. Neural-network scoring runs on MLS servers; the maker says this keeps detection off the Minecraft server’s CPU and TPS. That is attractive to operators concerned about adding detection work to their server, but it comes with a clear trade-off: combat data is sent to the cloud for analysis.

Installation uses a server plugin, licence key and a preset configured on the website. PacketEvents is bundled in the plugin jar, so players do not need a client mod. Owners can set an enforcement ladder with alerts, damage reduction, kicks and bans, and replay analysis is supported. The dashboard brings together licences, keys, presets, statistics and player dossiers, while the wiki offers support tickets, Telegram and Discord for setup help.

The plugin sends combat camera and body movement, hits, player names and UUIDs to MLSAC. It does not send chat or inventories. The privacy policy says the service may collect account identifiers, technical information and interaction history, and does not require passport data or photos. The administration says it takes reasonable security measures but cannot guarantee absolute security for information transmitted over the internet. Operators should weigh that disclosure and cloud dependency against the benefit of remote scoring.

Pricing

The free Beginner plan costs nothing and includes the Mini model. That makes it a sensible way to begin with MLSAC, but it is not a guarantee of continuous checks: when the plan’s daily requests run out, checks pause until the next day.

Pro and Pulse are reserved for paid plans, so the free tier does not offer the full model choice. Pulse also requires project verification, adding a qualification step beyond payment. Ultra is early access for plugin 2.0 and cannot run alongside the other models, making it a separate, constrained option rather than an add-on to a multi-model setup. Paid subscription or licence purchases are assigned to the dashboard after payment confirmation, usually instantly or within 1 to 5 minutes.

Platforms

MLSAC is offered for web and Windows. Its Minecraft server support includes Paper, Spigot, Folia, kSpigot and Purpur. The plugin-based setup makes it relevant to operators running those server platforms; the service is not described as a client-side anti-cheat.

Who it's for

MLSAC fits Minecraft server owners who prioritize combat cheat detection, want to configure enforcement themselves and prefer neural-network analysis to run remotely rather than on the game server. It is less suitable where checks must never pause, where combat data cannot be sent to a cloud service, or where a team needs a model that can run alongside Ultra.

Pros and cons

Pros: The free Beginner plan includes Mini, and the plugin bundles PacketEvents without requiring a client mod.

Pros: Remote scoring keeps detection off the Minecraft server’s CPU and TPS, according to the maker.

Pros: Configurable responses span alerts, damage reduction, kicks and bans, with replay analysis also supported.

Cons: Daily request exhaustion pauses checks until the next day, which may leave a server without MLSAC checks during the remainder of that period.

Cons: Cloud scoring requires sending combat movement, hits and player identifiers to MLSAC, and internet-transmitted information is not guaranteed to be absolutely secure.

Cons: Pulse requires project verification, while Ultra is early access for plugin 2.0 and cannot run with another model.

Alternatives

GuardAC is worth considering if an API-based option matters; it has a free plan and a free trial, though MLSAC instead targets Minecraft server plugins and combat checks. Choose Shard if inspecting or self-hosting open-source checks is more important than MLSAC’s cloud scoring. Intave may suit operators seeking movement and combat detection on a self-hosted platform, but its free tier excludes combat automation and build automation detection and priority support.

AntiGuard is a free option for Paper or Purpur 1.20.x on Java 17, while CheckHacks is always free with optional donations. Polar Anticheat is a paid alternative with a stated Small server plan at €15 a month, billed €45/quarter or €150/year, including 75 players, 5 server instances, 3 HWIDs, 500 GB/month fair use and all checks. ExploitShield is another free self-hosted option, but requires PacketEvents 2.13.0+ and ProtocolLib 5.4.0+ on Java 17+ for Minecraft 1.17.x–1.21.x. For a free plugin credited to hackerG7 on SpigotMC, consider GK AntiCheat. Browse Minecraft Anti-Cheat Plugins for more options.

Verdict

Choose MLSAC if you run a supported Minecraft server, want configurable combat enforcement and value keeping neural-network detection off your game server. The Mini-powered free plan lowers the barrier to trying that approach, but daily request pauses are the main reason to look elsewhere when uninterrupted checks are essential; cloud data transfer is another reason to prefer a self-hosted alternative.
