BedrockGuard Free

Why another anti-cheat?
Java anti-cheats model the Java client. Bedrock players reach your server through Geyser with different movement, touch controls, controllers and timing, so those anti-cheats either exempt them or flag legitimate mobile players.

BedrockGuard analyses only Floodgate players and leaves Java players to your existing anti-cheat. The two never overlap.

Checks

• Timer: the client runs faster than real time
• Speed: moving faster than vanilla allows (Speed effect and ice taken into account), with setback
• Fly: ignoring gravity, and hovering motionless in mid-air, with setback
• Reach: hitting from more than 3 blocks, with ping compensation (players and mobs)
• Nuker: several blocks broken in one tick, or too many per second
• Scaffold: blocks placed in mid-air, several per tick, or too fast
• AutoClicker: clicking faster than a human can
• BadPackets: values no legitimate client can send

Every threshold is configurable and every check can be turned off. Violation levels decay over time, so occasional lag does not build up into a punishment.

Features

• Staff alerts in game, toggled per staff member
• Discord webhook for alerts and punishments, with spam protection
• Configurable punishment command (kick, tempban, your own command)
• Developer API: cancellable ViolationEvent and violation level lookups
• English and French
• Lightweight: under 0.1 ms per tick for 20 Bedrock players in our benchmark

Free version limit
This version analyses up to 5 Bedrock players at the same time. When one of them leaves, the next Bedrock player takes the free slot. Java players are never affected. The full version has no limit (link at the bottom of this page).

Requirements

• Paper or Folia 1.21 to 26.x, Java 21+ (tested on Paper 1.21.11, Paper 26.3 and Folia 26.3)
• Geyser + Floodgate on the server, or Geyser on a Velocity / BungeeCord proxy with Floodgate on both
• PacketEvents 2.14+
• Timer and hover detection need 1.21.2 or newer

Keep Geyser's forward-player-ping at its default ( false): with true, Paper kicks real Bedrock clients.

Commands (permission bedrockguard.admin, alerts: bedrockguard.alerts)

• /bguard alerts: turn alerts on or off for yourself
• /bguard info <player>: device, input mode, ping and violation levels
• /bguard exempt <player> [seconds]: temporarily exempt a player from movement checks
• /bguard reload: reload the configuration
