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.
