AntiGuard vs MOG-ANTICHEAT

AntiGuard is a free anti-cheat plugin for Minecraft Paper and Purpur servers. Its checks cover Fly, Speed, Reach, NoSwing, KillAura, AutoClick, NoFall, and FastBreak, with flag, kick, and ban actions. An embedded web dashboard displays flags, bans, and kicks and lets administrators adjust detection settings live. The REST API exposes statistics, flags, bans, kicks, and configuration endpoints; write operations require an API token if one has been set. AntiGuard can use storage configured for LuckPerms and records data in tables prefixed with `antiguard_`. Documented database options are SQLite, H2, MySQL, MariaDB, and PostgreSQL, with bundled SQLite used if LuckPerms storage cannot safely be reused. Installation is a single JAR copied into the server’s `plugins/` folder, followed by a restart. The guide specifies Paper or Purpur 1.20.x and Java 17. The project calls itself an MVP, and its maker recommends adjusting thresholds or check tolerances if legitimate players are flagged.

MOG-ANTICHEAT is a free anti-cheat plugin for Spigot and Paper Minecraft servers, designed for PvP environments. It aims to detect and block common hacks through checks for Killaura, Reach, Speed, Spider, Timer, Scaffold, Destroyer, and PacketSpammer. Operators can toggle checks, receive violation alerts, and use commands including /mogac help, /mogac checks, /mogac toggle , /mogac alerts, and /mogac reload. The mogac.alerts permission enables cheat alerts; mogac.admin grants access to all MOG-AC commands, and mogac.bypass is listed for bypassing checks. Installation involves placing the downloaded JAR in the server's plugins folder and restarting. The stated Minecraft compatibility range is 1.8–1.12.2. The maker says it was tested on 1.8.9 and 1.12.2, while warning that the latter may have more bugs. The project also cautions that bugs may exist. Downloads are linked through PaperMC Hangar, SpigotMC, and GitHub; source code and compilation instructions are publicly available. Replay analysis is not included.
