Instead of Nimbus AntiCheat

Nimbus AntiCheat alternatives

Nimbus AntiCheat is a free, self-hosted Minecraft server plugin focused on broad, configurable detection. Its 43 toggleable checks cover movement, combat, world, packet, and inventory behavior, while latency, lag, buffs, teleports, knockback, flight toggles, and join grace are considered during evaluations. Operators receive reports, inspection tools, violation logs, replay analysis, audit logs, configurable enforcement, proxy support, and Discord notifications. Detection and alerts start enabled, while punishments remain configurable.

Its requirements narrow the fit: Nimbus targets Paper 1.21.x, was built and tested on Paper 1.21.8, requires Java 21 and PacketEvents, and supports Java-edition players only. Bedrock, Geyser, and older versions such as 1.8 and 1.20 are excluded. Alternatives may offer cloud analysis, web dashboards, APIs, different storage, older-version support, or narrower combat and client-mod detection. Compare server compatibility, data handling, administration workflow, detection scope, and whether remote processing or open-source access suits your operation better.
