What Polar Anticheat is
Polar Anticheat is paid SaaS software for limiting cheating on Minecraft servers. It uses prevention and mitigation for movement, reach, and damage, and may restrict suspicious actions before applying punishment. Most checks run in Polar Cloud, which inspects relevant player packets and is intended to lower CPU and memory use on the server instance. Listed detection capabilities include machine-learning detections, cross-instance tracking, continuous updates, and physics-based movement simulation. Coverage includes auto clicker, heuristics, invalid protocol, movement, tick speed, inventory, world interaction, and latency abuse. Enforcement can use movement or combat mitigations, velocity adjustment, hit cancellation, setbacks, damage or range reduction, kicks, and bans. Installation uses PolarLoader.jar in the server plugins folder after payment. Requirements include x86_64, Linux or Windows, Java 8 or later, Spigot or Paper, OpenSSL 1.1, libc6 2.25 or later on Linux, and uninterrupted internet. Plans start at €15.00 per month for Small server, covering 75 players, five instances, three HWIDs, and 500 GB/month fair use. Replay analysis is not included.
