TalonAnti-Cheat

Talon AntiCheat v1.0.0 — Initial Release

First public release of Talon AntiCheat (Free) — packet-based, server-authoritative cheat detection built for Paper 26.1, using PacketEvents on the network thread. Every check is latency-compensated and validated against a real cheat client before shipping.

Detections

Movement

• Speed — bounds movement to real vanilla friction/acceleration physics
• Fly / Hover — illegal airborne movement, including dead-still hovers
• NoFall — server-verified fall damage; catches spoofs even with jump-reset bounce tricks
• NoSlow — moving too fast while eating, drinking or blocking
• Jesus / Water-walk — running across the surface of liquids
• Step — physics-defying vertical steps
• GroundSpoof & MovementAnomaly — alert-only heads-up monitoring

Combat

• Reach — attacks beyond legal range, rewound through the attacker's ping window
• KillAura — aim-snap detection + hits on targets you aren't facing

Packet

• Invalid Rotation — impossible look angles no legitimate client can send

Enforcement

• Per-check action: alert, setback (rubberband), or flag (punish)
• Configurable punishment ladder — kick after X flags, ban after X flags or kicks
• Persistent flag/kick records that survive restarts
• Custom kick/ban messages + a branded ban-rejoin screen
• Optional public broadcast when a player is kicked or banned

Staff tools

• In-game settings GUI — toggle and tune every check, no config files (/talon settings)
• Rich alerts: hover for details, click to teleport to the suspect
• Per-ban evidence reports
• Latency compensation so laggy players aren't falsely flagged

Requirements

• Paper 26.1.x
• Java 25+
• PacketEvents is bundled — no separate install needed
