Paragon Anticheat
1.2The best free anticheat plugin. Anticheat plugin with modern checks for 1.21.11
Paragon Anticheat
Packet based anticheat for Paper 1.21.11. 63 checks, silent mod detection with per mod kicks on the very first join, seed protection, screenshare tools, raytrace anti xray plus anti freecam, and active mitigations that make cheats stop working instead of only flagging them.
Paragon watches packets, not clicks. Movement runs through a physics simulation, combat runs through statistics, and clients run through a silent translation probe that catches cheat mods with zero signs, zero editors and zero interaction. Built to be brutal on cheaters and invisible to legit players, on Java and Bedrock alike.
WHY PARAGON
MOD BLOCKER - Meteor, Wurst and 140 plus known mods get kicked on first join with the mod names on the screen (visible to those with permission).
FALSE FLAG RESISTANT - Buffered Checks, Ping Scaling, Lag Leniency and variance gates. One fast moment never punishes anyone. Only machine consistent repetition does. It's tuned to minimize false flags.
ACTIVE MITIGATIONS - Swap macro hits get cancelled, BoatFly ejects the driver, confirmed flyers get set back to verified safe ground, suspects quietly lose damage before the ban lands.
BEDROCK FRIENDLY - Geyser and Floodgate auto detection plus dot prefix matching when Floodgate is missing. Bedrock players skip mod scanning completely.
CLEAN CONFIG - The config is clean and very easy to edit and navigate, check it out yourself:

# Flip any check to `alerts-only: true` and it will flag and tell staff

# stood the moment a hit landed, how a client rotated between packets).
# Treat those as tips for your staff, and flip them to false once you
# trust them on your own players.
# Setback drags confirmed movement cheaters back along their own trail of
# spots that passed every check on solid ground. If they outran the trail,
# each setback walks them back by up to max-distance until they are on it
# again. Works at any ping, which is what makes ping games pointless, and

mitigations:
# Same-tick attribute swapping (vanilla bug MC-28289): swapping hotbar
# items in the same tick as an attack smuggles the old item's damage
# into the hit. That trick powers lunge-swap, breach and density swaps
# and mace stun-slam macros. With this on, hits landing inside the
# window after a swap get cancelled outright. Macro or manual, the
# exploit just does nothing.

# 50ms is one game tick. Raise it to 100 to kill 2-tick swap tech too.
swap-window-ms: 50
# SMART - hits land normally until AutoSwap smells a real macro
# pattern (VL on the board), then swap-hits start getting
# cancelled until it fades. Your legit one-tick artists keep
# their tech, macros lose theirs. Also shrugs off high ping
# packet bunching instead of ghosting hits.
# ALWAYS - cancel every same-window swap hit, legit tech included.
# DETECT - watch and flag only, never touch a hit.
mode: SMART
# SMART only starts cancelling once autoswap VL reaches this. One flag
# is worth 3 VL, so this asks for TWO separate confirmed macro reads
# before anything gets cancelled. Lower it and a single coincidence
# (someone fast switching weapons mid-fight) eats their hits for a
# second or two, which is exactly the ghost-hit feeling this fix is
