Polaris

Polaris is a modern anti-cheat built for servers that need reliable detection, clear staff alerts, and complete control over how suspicious behavior is handled.

Designed around combat, movement, packet and interaction analysis, Polaris gives your staff the tools they need to investigate players without filling the server with unnecessary complexity.

Built for serious server protection.


• Advanced Detection
Detect suspicious combat, movement, packet and interaction behavior with a wide range of specialized checks.

• Violation Level System
Track repeated violations and use configurable thresholds to determine when further action should be taken.

• Staff Alerts
Give moderators clear real-time information when a player triggers a detection.

• Automatic Punishments
Configure actions based on violation levels instead of relying entirely on manual moderation.

• Detection Decay
Reduce old violations over time so temporary suspicious behavior does not permanently affect a player.

• Staff Bypass
Allow trusted staff and selected players to bypass specific detection systems.

• World Control
Control where Polaris operates and configure detection behavior for different environments.

• Debug Tools
Investigate suspicious behavior and fine-tune your configuration with additional detection information.

• GUI Management
Manage and monitor anti-cheat information through an in-game interface.

• PlaceholderAPI Support
Integrate supported Polaris information into compatible server systems.



"/polaris" — Open the Polaris management interface.

"/polaris reload" — Reload Polaris configuration.

"/polaris alerts" — Manage anti-cheat alerts.

"/polaris debug" — Manage debugging features.

Command access can be controlled through the permission system, allowing server owners to decide which staff members can use administrative functions.



Polaris uses permission-based access for administrative and moderation features.

"polaris.admin" — Full administrative access.

"polaris.alerts" — Access to anti-cheat alerts.

"polaris.bypass" — Bypass supported detection systems.

"polaris.debug" — Access to debugging functionality.

Permissions can be integrated with modern permission management systems such as LuckPerms.



Polaris includes a broad detection system covering several major categories of unfair gameplay.

COMBAT

• KillAura
• AimAssist
• Reach
• AutoClicker
• Criticals
• Velocity

MOVEMENT

• Fly
• Speed
• AirWalk
• NoFall
• Jesus
• Step
• Spider
• Glide
• Phase
• FastLadder
• BunnyHop
• Timer
• InvalidMovement

PACKET & INTERACTION

• BadPackets
• InvalidRotation
• InvalidPosition
• InvalidInteract
• ImpossibleAction
• InventoryMove
• FastUse
• FastPlace
• FastBreak
• Scaffold
• Tower
• Blink
• NoSlow
• BlockReach
• ImpossibleDig
• ImpossibleInteraction

Each check can contribute to a player's violation level, giving staff a clearer picture of repeated suspicious behavior instead of treating every individual detection as an immediate punishment.



VIOLATION LEVELS

Monitor repeated detections through a structured violation system. Configure thresholds and actions around the needs of your server.

SMART STAFF MONITORING

Keep moderators informed with real-time detection alerts, making it easier to identify suspicious players and investigate unusual behavior.

AUTOMATIC ACTIONS

Configure responses around violation levels, allowing Polaris to warn, kick or apply configured punishments when specific thresholds are reached.

DECAY SYSTEM

Old violations can decrease over time, helping prevent isolated or outdated detections from permanently affecting a player's record.

EXEMPTIONS

Give trusted players or staff appropriate bypass access without disabling the entire anti-cheat.

WORLD CONTROL

Choose where Polaris should operate and control detection behavior across different worlds or environments.

LAG AWARENESS

Configure detection behavior around your server's environment to help reduce unnecessary false positives caused by unstable conditions.

DEBUG MODE

Enable additional information when investigating detections or adjusting individual checks.

GUI MANAGEMENT

Keep important anti-cheat management tools accessible through an in-game interface for faster staff moderation.

PLACEHOLDERAPI

Use supported Polaris placeholders with compatible server plugins and interfaces.


Polaris is designed around configurable detection rather than a one-size-fits-all setup.

Server owners can tune detection behavior, thresholds, alerts, exemptions, violation actions and other anti-cheat settings to match their own gameplay environment.

Whether you run a small SMP or a larger network, the configuration gives you control over how aggressively Polaris reacts to suspicious behavior.


Polaris allows server owners to decide what should happen after repeated violations.

Depending on your configuration, the system can be used for:

• Staff alerts
• Warnings
• Kicks
• Temporary punishments
• Automatic actions based on violation thresholds

This keeps punishment behavior under your control instead of forcing every server to use the same moderation approach.


Polaris is built to make anti-cheat moderation easier for your staff.

Instead of simply detecting a player and leaving moderators with raw information, Polaris provides violation tracking, alerts, bypass controls, debugging tools and management features that can be used during investigations.

Less guesswork. More control.


Polaris is designed with modern Paper servers in mind.

Detection checks can be configured individually, allowing server owners to disable functionality that is not needed for their gameplay environment.

This makes it possible to balance detection coverage with the performance requirements of your server.
