Verus Anticheat
What Verus Anticheat is
Verus Anticheat is packet-based software for Spigot Minecraft servers. It tracks incoming and outgoing packets and supports server versions 1.7 through 1.20.1. The maker says packet-level operation is compatible with any plugin and can handle thousands of players on one instance without performance overhead. Regular detection targets blatant cheats, while Premium adds modern and ghost cheat detection. Its advanced banning system uses delayed and spoofed alerts. Operators can search player bans and logs through MongoDB, MySQL, or PostgreSQL. An API and GUI control checks and other settings, and updates can be applied with /verus restart without restarting the server. Customization can cover colors, naming, plugin name, and commands, depending on package. Regular costs $60 as a one-time payment, Premium $125 as a one-time payment, and Custom $200 as a one-time payment; each has a lifetime license. Purchases are required per network, and refunds are not issued unless otherwise stated.
