In their own words
Grace Anticheat
Grace Anticheat is a free, self-hosted anticheat for Java Minecraft servers. It targets closet cheating, ghost cheating and blatant hacking through rules-based detection and statistical analysis of player behavior. Servers can run a proxy arrangement with a Velocity plugin and Paper companion plugin, or choose a standalone Paper plugin without Velocity. The proxy setup requires Velocity 3.3.0 or later, Paper 1.19 or later and Java 21 or later; the standalone listing covers Minecraft Java 1.19.x, 1.20.x and 1.21.x. Grace can alert staff in-game and send formatted Discord webhook embeds. Configuration supports teleporting players back on hard alerts, kicking on action alerts and optional automatic bans, disabled by default. Staff commands expose engine status, evidence summaries, alert controls, violation history and configuration reloads. Grace is beta 0.1.0 and actively developed. Its API and related components are open source, while detection logic, model weights and threshold tuning are closed source.
MOG-ANTICHEAT
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.
