Anticheat for crossplay server
Does anybody know a good anticheat that would work for my crossplay SMP?

I'm assuming by crossplay you mean bedrock and java?

For paid, vulcan, works great for me, but its ignores bedrock players. i personally havent tried another paid plugin. I've heard good things from spartan, but looks like u have to pay for both java and bedrock versions
For free.. well they are free. Themis is kind of your only option since soaroma is no longer being maintained. I've used both, soar was pretty nice for being free. Themis was pretty crappy. It took a lot of tweaking, had lots of false positives. Like ALOT. Took several weeks of tweaking to where i got it about right. (with themis, i still only ever manually punished people and only used it as a way to warn me) Eventually updated to vulcan. (i dont recommend using a free anticheat)
exactly why i use vulcan... but tbh, im not really in the know of the bedrock scene, so i cant really answer that question confidently
what could be different?
yes, they do. It's extremely easy, and without anticheat, bedrock players can use killaura on people behind them, by just installing a single android app and watching an ad
I use grimac which actually works great. Had a player join with a hacked client just to test to see if the anticheat worked. He shared his screen and enabled about 30 different cheats all of which didn’t work. Because it doesn’t check bedrock players, i recommend using the floodgate whitelist, since opening up your server to all bedrock players is a bad idea anyway
For actual bedrock anticheats I’ve tried everyone in that list
Only one that came even close was spartan and it ate my server tick
yes
wait for vulcan v3

Coming 2027
(I still love Vulcan)
