What CheatDetector is
CheatDetector is a paid, self-hosted Paper plugin for Minecraft servers. It identifies certain installed cheat mods when players join by using translation-key and keybind probes, together with channel, brand, and packet-level checks. Listed detections include Meteor, Wurst, Advanced XRay, Freecam variants, CheatUtils, Tweakeroo, VoxelMap, X-Ray by ATE48, FreeCam by Hashalite, and Zerg. It supports Paper 1.21.1+ and 26.1+ or compatible Purpur and Folia forks, and requires PacketEvents. Bedrock players are skipped automatically. On Velocity and BungeeCord networks, installation is on backend servers. The plugin does not detect gameplay cheats such as KillAura, Speed, or Fly, or client-side visuals such as ESP and Tracers. Its stated response is a warning kick for a first offense and a permanent ban for a second. Settings are kept in config.yml, and detections can be posted to Discord through a webhook. The listed plan costs $4.99, paid once and includes one year of support.
