Details
Intave is an enterprise anticheat plugin for Minecraft servers in development since 2016. After almost a decade of use on the world's largest Minecraft servers and shutting down in mid-2025, we now decided to give back to the community by making Intave source-available to everyone.
General
Unlike traditional module-based anticheats, Intave accurately simulates player movement, client-side entity and block data to detect even the smallest manipulations. Through this approach, Intave successfully prevents any kind of combat, movement and interaction exploits, such as speed/fly cheats or reaching beyond the 3.0 block range.
Additionally, Intave provides heuristic checks to counter aimbot, auto-clicker, timer, placement, block breaking, inventory and many other cheats that cannot be detected by solely simulating client logic.
Additional Information
You can find the source code here: Intave source code
For more information, about Intave's checks, configuration and permissions see here: Intave documentation.
Paid features
The base version of Intave is open-source and free of charge. Additional cloud-based machine-learning models will be made available for a charge, however these are not yet available.
Collected data
With the free version of Intave, Intave does not send any data to third party servers, except for optional statistics from bstats:
Anonymous Plugin Statistics (bStats)
Intave uses the service of bStats, which sends generic plugin statistics to bStats.org with information like: Number of online players, Operating system, Java version, Processor count, plugin version, Minecraft version and estimated server location.
This does NOT include any personal player data. It's used by the plugin developers to understand how many servers use Intave and ensure compatibility with different systems.
These statistics are opt out and can be disabled by changing the config option at /plugins/bStats/config.yml. For more information about bStats look at:
