MLSAC vs ReducedX-Anti Cheat

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.

ReducedX-Anti Cheat is a free, self-hosted anti-cheat plugin for Minecraft Java Edition servers using Paper or Spigot. The listing specifies Minecraft 1.21.x compatibility. Combat checks look for KillAura, attacks beyond 3.2 blocks, AutoClicker, AntiKnockback, and hitbox exploits. Movement checks cover Speed, Fly, NoFall, Jesus, Step, and Scaffold, with lag compensation and a TPS-based safe mode. World checks use mining paths and ore rates to identify XRay and also detect FastPlace. PacketFlood, JoinFlood, and ReconnectSpam protections address packet-spam and bot attacks. Staff can use the /punish GUI to issue warnings, kicks, mutes, and bans, including permanent and IP bans; button access is permission-based, and alert levels can be configured. The config.yml and lang.yml files allow changes to messages, sensitivity, thresholds, per-world checks, and bypass permissions. Violation decay and combination detection are also included. Listed commands cover information, logs, alerts, spectating, and reloading. The listing names ReducedG as author and identifies the license as MIT.
