Advanced Anti-Cheat vs MLSAC

Advanced Anti-Cheat vAlpha is a free, self-hosted anti-cheat plugin for PocketMine-MP servers. It is described as defending servers against malicious users through checks for movement, combat and other gameplay behavior. Listed movement protections are Anti Fly and Anti Speed. Combat checks include Anti Aimbot, Anti Reach, Anti Hit Box and Fix Hit Delay. Other listed checks cover Anti Auto-Gap, Anti Dup, Anti Xray and Anti Smallking. The plugin manifest identifies version 0.0.2, author LearXD and API version 2.0.0; the README says APIs at version 2.0.0 or earlier are supported. The project is labeled vAlpha and uses the GPL-3.0 license. The GitHub releases page lists 0.0.2 as latest, dated October 1, with notes about fixing several fly bugs and an anti-auto-clicker issue. The README warns that unchecked feature options may still be in development or testing. It includes a demonstration section identified as a video from the maintainer’s channel. The listed feature set does not include replay analysis.

MLSAC is a neural-network anti-cheat plugin for Minecraft servers. It examines combat camera movement and surrounding packets for patterns associated with KillAura, TriggerBot, AimAssist, Reach, and hits through walls. The plugin sends combat camera and body movement, hit details, and player names and UUIDs to MLSAC's cloud for model scoring; it does not send chat or inventory data. The maker says this remote analysis does not use the Minecraft server's CPU or TPS for detection. Setup involves installing the plugin, entering a licence key, and choosing a preset configured on the website. No client mod is required, and PacketEvents is included in the plugin jar. Server owners can configure responses including damage reduction, kicks, and bans. The dashboard provides licences, keys, presets, statistics, and player dossiers. The free Beginner plan includes the Mini model; Pro and Pulse require paid plans, and Pulse also requires project verification. Ultra is early access for plugin 2.0 and cannot run alongside other models. When a plan's daily request limit is reached, checks pause until the next day.
