Vacan

What Vacan is

Vacan is a free anti-cheat plugin for self-hosted Minecraft servers. Its listed detection checks cover FastBreak, Vehicle, Flight, and AirPlace. Server administrators can use commands to reload the plugin, freeze or unfreeze players, ban or unban players, and display the plugin version. Additional commands provide access to checks, player inspection, and help.

The maker says Vacan is written using BukkitAPI and SpigotAPI. The resource page lists Minecraft 1.21 as its native major version and gives tested versions from 1.12 through 1.21, including 1.20.6. Vacan is distributed as a downloadable 5.4 MB .jar file, and English is the listed language. The listed Vacan plan costs nothing.

The resource page names TheRealAlzore as the author and Ashly and Jprxz10 as contributors. It lists version 1.0.8 as released May 18, 2025, and says the plugin is currently being recoded. Replay analysis is not available. The maker described a packet library as a possible future addition but unlikely at the time of the post.

Who it suits

Vacan suits administrators of self-hosted Minecraft servers looking for a free plugin with checks for FastBreak, Vehicle, Flight, and AirPlace. Its moderation commands are relevant to administrators who need to freeze, unfreeze, ban, or unban players from the server.

Limits

Replay analysis is not available. The resource page says Vacan is currently being recoded.

Getting started

1. Open the Vacan resource page on SpigotMC.
2. Download the 5.4 MB .jar file.
3. Use the plugin with a self-hosted Minecraft server.
4. Check that your Minecraft version is among those listed from 1.12 through 1.21.

Verdict

Choose Vacan if you run a self-hosted Minecraft server and want the listed detection checks and moderation commands at no cost. Its tested version range extends from 1.12 through 1.21. Look elsewhere if replay analysis is a requirement, as Vacan does not provide it.
