Jester Anti Cheat
Jester Anti Cheat is a packet-based anti-cheat for Minecraft servers, built on the proven Grim prediction engine and focused on low false-positives — even across mixed client versions (1.8.9+ via ViaVersion / ViaBackwards) and behind BungeeCord / Velocity proxies.
✨ Highlights
- 160+ checks. Grim's movement-prediction core, plus 40+ checks that are not
part of upstream Grim:
- Combat — KillAura (A–D), Reach, TriggerBot, Criticals, Crystal/Anchor/Bed aura, Hitboxes
- Auto-tools — AutoClicker, AutoTotem, AutoArmor, AutoPot, AutoEat, ChestStealer, InventoryWalk
- World — Nuker, Tower, Scaffold, FastPlace, VeinMiner, PacketMine
- Per-check configuration. Every check has its own
enabled,punishable,max-violations, alert and punishment settings. - Tuned for real servers. Generous grace windows for proxy / version-translation jitter, ping, low-TPS dips and other common false-positive sources.
- Database logging (SQLite / MySQL) of violations, punishments and profiles.
- In-game tooling under
/jester— alerts with hover info, violation history, freeze, spectate, stats and more.
🧩 Compatibility
- Platforms: Bukkit · Spigot · Paper · Purpur · Folia
- Server versions: same range as the Grim engine (
api-version 1.13). Actively tested on 1.21.4 and 1.21.11. - Client versions: 1.8.9+ are supported via ViaVersion on a modern server.
⚙️ Requirements
- PacketEvents — required. The plugin will not enable without it.
- ViaVersion + ViaBackwards (optional) — needed only if you want to protect players on client versions older than your server.
