How to Install Anti-Cheats on Your Minecraft Server 🛡️

🔍 What Is an Anti-Cheat and Why Do You Need One?

An anti-cheat is an essential tool for any Minecraft server, helping to detect and prevent hacks or cheats. Keep your community safe and fair by using the best anti-cheats available.

Download the Anti-Cheat Plugin:

Look for the plugin on trusted sites like SpigotMC or CurseForge. Some of the most popular options are:

• NoCheatPlus: Ideal for survival servers.

• AAC (Advanced Anti Cheat): Recommended for competitive servers.

• Matrix AntiCheat: Versatile and compatible with many server types.

  
  

Upload the Anti-Cheat to Your Server:

• Log in to your HolyHosting server control panel.

• Go to the “Files” section and select “Plugins”.

• Upload the .jar file of the anti-cheat plugin you downloaded earlier.

Configure the Anti-Cheat:

Once uploaded, restart or start your server so the plugin can install. Then:

• Go to the plugin’s configuration folder:

plugins/anticheat/config.yml

• Adjust the settings according to your server’s needs. Many plugins come with default configurations, but it’s recommended to review the options to customize the detection level.

Testing and Fine-Tuning:

To make sure your anti-cheat is working correctly:

• Ask a friend to try a common hack on a test server.

• Check the alerts in the console or server logs.

• Adjust the anti-cheat’s sensitivity to avoid false positives.

  
  

Updates and Maintenance:

Anti-cheats are frequently updated to counter new hacks, so it’s important to:

• Regularly check for plugin updates.

• Keep all your plugins up to date.
