no grim doesnt protect against xray use paper antixray

Like he said, paper x-ray, ore rate watchers, or ore obfuscator. Obfuscator is generally very aggressive and can negatively affect performance but it's also the most effective imo, while the rate watcher won't stop anyone but will help catch some cheaters.

here's my paper x-ray settings, in case they help. Engine-mode: 2 will be visible to lagging players but is very effective. https://mcpaste.io/2ae73443d25fc4ed

I use like the lowest setting on paper anti xray, just for performance reasons. which is engine mode one, and then I use staff++ for possible xray alerts in-game and in discord, then you just have to really watch the player for like 2 minutes or so to determine if they are xraying... you could use the highest anti xray setting on the paper config which is 3 but can impact performance.

3 looks potentially entirely useless. Looks super easy to filter out whatever block each layer is supposed to be. Looks like 1 but with worse performance. The fact it exists is cool though

Spigot is a horrible server software Super slow, skips Ticks, works with less plugins

Paper is better then? but it doesn't have many plugins though?

Here's my setup for anti-xray, its pretty agressive for a type 1. The difference between type 1 and type 2 is type 1 hides stuff while type 2 hides and also replaces with other stuff so it makes it even worse for x-rayers and makes x-raying for caves worse. But it is a performance hit for type 2. I reccomend taking the ice and trapdoor out of the nether config as thats for iceroads, and beds out of overworld too.

theres also mode 3 and unofficially mode 4 mode 3 being a more optimised version of 2 4 being a non standard antixray called raytraced antixray uses mode 1 but does it raytraced
MadDog⁴⁴³
i dont know the exact details of those but i think its similar but more agressive version of 2 4 is my favorite but idk the perf hit. (wait you mean the plugin right?)
