MLSAC
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.
