KRYNTHEX AC
Movement • Combat • Packets
By Void Byte
A Minecraft Java anticheat for Paper and Spigot, with staff alerts, player investigation tools and an in-game configuration menu.
Review suspicious activity, adjust check settings, and choose how your server responds.
PacketEvents is required. Choose compatible releases for your server’s Minecraft and Java versions.
Installation & setup
📦 Installation
1. Download KRYNTHEX for your server version.
2. Download a compatible PacketEvents release.
3. Stop your server.
4. Place both JAR files in the plugins folder.
5. Start your server.
Check the plugin’s status:
/ac status
Open the configuration menu:
/ac config
When updating, back up your KRYNTHEX data folder and replace the old JAR. Keep only one KRYNTHEX JAR installed.
Use a full restart instead of /reload.
⚙️ Configuration & shadow mode
Open the configuration menu:
/ac config
Browse detection modules, adjust thresholds, change messages and configure supported responses.
Fresh installations start with shadow mode enabled and automatic punishments disabled.
Test your settings and review findings before enabling automatic actions. Enforcement depends on the check, its settings and safety conditions. Some checks remain review-only.
Existing installations keep their saved settings when updating.
🤝 GrimAC & Vulcan
KRYNTHEX can run alongside GrimAC or Vulcan. Both are optional, separately installed plugins.
When either is enabled, KRYNTHEX blocks its own native automatic punishments and lagbacks.
KRYNTHEX can still run observations, send qualifying alerts and relay supported companion alerts. Manual staff actions remain available.
Manage GrimAC or Vulcan’s punishments through that plugin’s settings.
Staff tools
Replace <player> with the player’s Minecraft name.
🔔 Staff alerts
Enable your alerts:
/ac alerts on
Disable your alerts:
/ac alerts off
Show extra alert details:
/ac staffview on
Return to compact alerts:
/ac staffview off
Hide review-only observations:
/ac alerts observations off
Restore your notification defaults:
/ac alerts reset
Each staff member has their own notification preferences. These do not change the server’s detection settings.
🎯 Watch specific players
Add a player to your watch list:
/ac watch <player>
Filter alerts to watched players:
/ac watchmode on
Receive alerts for everyone again:
/ac watchmode off
Clear your list and disable filtering:
/ac watch clear
Adding a player does not enable filtering automatically.
🔍 Player investigation
View a player summary:
/ac inspect <player>
Review movement diagnostics:
/ac inspect <player> movement
View protocol information:
/ac inspect <player> network
Review recent findings:
/ac history <player>
Check detection and alert eligibility:
/ac diagnose <player>
An alert gives staff something to investigate. It does not prove a player is cheating.
🏷️ Client brands

Client brands are self-reported and can be spoofed. A Fabric or Forge brand does not reveal installed mods.
A brand name alone is not evidence of cheating.
