Performance
Metrics
MineWatch AntiXray uses bStats to collect anonymous usage statistics (server version, Java version, player count, etc.). These metrics help guide development and are opt-in by default through plugins/bStats/config.yml on your server. These metrics greatly help me and have no affect on server performance, so if you could leave this on please do.

- The plugin is designed to work out-of-the-box, so fine tuning is more than likely not needed but the option to fine tune the plugin yourself exists
- The plugin does not automatically perform any punishments BY DEFAULT; it is instead designed to identify cheaters and provide the tools necessary to further build a staff member's case against them
- Update 0.1.4 added an auto-punishment feature that remains optional but gives administrators the ability to automatically perform commands if suspicion reaches a high enough threshold
- If you want your server featured on this listing, given that it uses MineWatch reply here or direct message me!
Key Features
- Intelligent Detection System (elaborated on further down) - Context-aware analysis, ore-specific weighting, and streak monitoring to detect suspicious mining patterns
- Advanced GUI System - Inspect players visually with real-time suspicion data and breakdowns
- Smart Alert System - Two-tier alerts with clickable chat links and anti-spam throttling
- Persistent Storage - Saves data across restarts with autosaving and decay management
- Decoy System - Place fake ores to test suspicious players and automatically detect mining behavior (not automatic; this feature is designed fool cheaters while a staff member is observing)
Commands
- /antixray suspicion - View a player’s current suspicion score
- /antixray reset - Clear all suspicion data for a player
- /antixray inspect - Open the inspection GUI for a player
- /antixray history - View the player’s flag history GUI
- /antixray reload - Reload configuration and message files
- /antixray decoy [many options] - Place a decoy ore for a player
- /antixray decoy list - List all active decoys for a player
- /antixray decoy remove <id|all> - Remove decoy(s) for a player
- /antixray decoy info - View detailed information about a decoy
Decoy Command Examples:
Code (Text):
/ax decoy diamond_ore PlayerName
/ax decoy auto PlayerName –at 100 50 200
/ax decoy list PlayerName
/ax decoy remove 5 PlayerName
/ax decoy remove all PlayerName
- minewatch.antixray.command – Base command permission (default: OP)
- minewatch.antixray.command.suspicion – Use /antixray suspicion
- minewatch.antixray.command.reset – Use /antixray reset
- minewatch.antixray.command.inspect – Use /antixray inspect
- minewatch.antixray.command.history – Use /antixray history
- minewatch.antixray.command.decoy – Use /antixray decoy commands
- minewatch.antixray.notify – Receive FLAG and SEVERE alerts
Code (Text):
/lp group staff permission set minewatch.antixray.notify true
/lp group admin permission set minewatch.antixray.command.* true
- Download MineWatch-AntiXray-0.1.X.jar
- Place it in your server’s plugins/ folder
- Restart your server or use /reload
- Edit configuration or messages in plugins/MineWatchAntiXray/config.yml or messages.yml
- Grant permissions to your staff group
Configuration
- All settings are fully configurable in config.yml
- Messages, thresholds, suspicion decay, and decoy options can all be customized
- GUI titles, alerts, and colors are editable in messages.yml
Detection System
- Block Placement Tracking - Prevents false positives from player-placed ores
- Exposure Analysis - Considers hidden faces, nearby caves, shell count, and cluster size
- Suspicion Scoring - Weighted by ore type, exposure, and streaks
- Decay System - Suspicion naturally decreases over time
- Alert System - FLAG and SEVERE alerts with clickable inspection links
GUI Features
- Inspection GUI - Shows suspicion scores, breakdowns, and last ore locations
- Flag History GUI - Displays last 28 flags or severe flags with color-coded levels
- Real-Time Updates - Data updates live as players mine
Decoy System
- Staff can place realistic fake ores that trigger detection when mined
- Decoys revert automatically on detection
- Per-player rate limits and time-to-live controls prevent abuse
- Supports multiple block decoys for realistic clusters
Tips & Best Practices
- Start with conservative detection settings and tune as needed (for the most part, this plugin is designed to work out-of-the-box; it has been fine tuned by developers already)
- Use the GUI to review suspicious players before acting
- Deploy decoys strategically rather than in bulk
- Reset suspicion only after confirming false positives
- Edit your messages.yml for server branding
Troubleshooting
Players not flagged?
- Check your thresholds – may be too high
- Ensure player is in survival/adventure mode
- Lower multipliers or raise thresholds
- Ensure ore placement tracking is enabled
- Verify player online and valid coordinates
- Check decoy placement limits
- Ensure flush-on-disable is true
- Check file permissions
- Give staff minewatch.antixray.notify
- Check console for errors (turn on debug in config.yml by ensuring that log-context is true)
Performance
- Memory: ~2–5MB per 100 tracked players
- CPU: Minimal – only triggers on ore breaks
- Disk: Async saves every 2 minutes (configurable)
- Network: None – fully server-side
