DeepAlts
A Paper plugin for detecting alternate accounts based on IP history, with both shallow and deep scanning modes.
What It Does
DeepAlts helps server staff find potential alternate accounts (alts) by checking which players have logged in from the same IP address, even indirectly through a shared chain of connections.
/alts <player|UUID> [uuid]: Lists accounts that have used the same last known IP as the target./deepalts <player|UUID> [uuid]: Finds all players connected through any shared IPs across login history using a BFS search./deepaltsconfig <subcommand>: Manage plugin state, cache, and graph configuration.
Add
uuidas the second argument to force UUID output instead of usernames.
Features
- Async lookups — won't lag your server
- Caches proxy/host detection results for faster rebuilds
- Excludes proxy and hosting IPs from connection logic
- Supports both player names and UUIDs
- Optional UUID-only output for logging
- Tab completion for player names and admin commands
- Gracefully handles players who have never joined
- Permission-based usage (
deepalts.lookup,deepalts.admin)
