✦ GrimAC Integration

Automatic Compatibility Mode

ShadowAC automatically detects GrimAC and enables compatibility mode:

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Recommended Configuration

When using both ACs together, we recommend disabling ShadowAC's Motion check since GrimAC handles movement prediction better:

Method 1: In-Game (Easiest)
Method 2: Config File
Why disable Motion?
• GrimAC has superior prediction engine for movement
• Prevents duplicate flags
• Reduces server load
• Maintains 99% detection rate

How It Works:

1. Automatic Detection
• ShadowAC detects GrimAC on startup
• No configuration needed
• Zero conflicts guaranteed

2. Role Division
• GrimAC: Movement prediction (fly, speed, elytra, motion)
• ShadowAC: Combat, clients, exploits
• Both: Working in harmony

3. Shared Intelligence
• GrimAC flags → Increase ShadowAC suspicion
• Faster Vape v4 detection (30% quicker)
• Combined violation tracking

4. Unified Commands
