OverWatch-ML is a next-generation anti-cheat for Paper 1.21+ that combines classical heuristic analysis with trained Machine Learning models to catch what traditional anti-cheats miss.
Most anti-cheats look at individual packets. OverWatch-ML looks at behavior — building a persistent profile for every player and analyzing patterns across Combat, Movement, Xray, and World Interactions using dedicated ML models.
How It Works
At its core is a Detection Orchestrator — a centralized engine that weighs signals from internal ML analysis alongside data from external anti-cheats (Grim, Vulcan, Matrix, Spartan). No single flag triggers a punishment. The system reasons about the full picture.

Features
🧠 Machine Learning Detection
Every player builds a persistent behavioral profile over time. CPS, movement speed, mining efficiency, and dozens of other signals are tracked continuously and fed into dedicated ML models for Combat, Movement, Xray, and World Interactions.
📡 Detection Orchestrator
A centralized "brain" that coordinates internal ML analysis with violation scores from external anti-cheats. Intelligent signal weighting means fewer false positives and smarter verdicts.
💻 Staff Control Panel
A fully GUI-driven management interface. Monitor flagged players, stream live behavioral data, and issue punishments — no config editing required.
🔔 Real-time Staff Alerts
Instant notifications with one-click teleportation to the suspect. Your staff acts fast, every time.
🛡️ Smart Mode Detection
Built-in bypass logic for Creative and Spectator mode players. Zero false positives from your own team.
⚡ Zero TPS Impact
All ML inference runs fully asynchronously on Java 21. Heavy computation never touches the main thread.
Integrations
OverWatch-ML is designed to complement your existing anti-cheat stack, not replace it.
