Network Setup

How to install AsyncAnticheat on BungeeCord and Velocity networks.

Important

AsyncAnticheat does not support proxy-only installation. You must install the plugin on each backend server individually.

Why install on backend servers?

Full packet visibility: Backend servers have access to all game packets, including position, combat, and interaction data
Server-side context: The plugin can access server-side player state (swimming, flying, game mode, etc.) which is essential for accurate detection
Folia compatibility: Backend Paper/Folia servers are fully supported

Installation Steps

Download the plugin from GitHub releases
Install on each backend server (e.g., Survival, SkyBlock, Factions, etc.)
Link each server to your dashboard using the console link
Each server will appear as a separate server in the dashboard

Per-Server Configuration

Each backend server can have its own configuration to match its specific needs:


# Example: Creative server with relaxed detection
capture:
  sample_rate: 0.5  # Only capture 50% of packets
 
# Example: Competitive PvP server with full capture
capture:
  sample_rate: 1.0  # Capture all packets

Configuration Examples

Server Type	Recommended Sample Rate	Notes
PvP / Competitive	1.0 (100%)	Full detection accuracy
Survival / SMP	1.0 (100%)	Standard configuration
Creative	0.5 (50%)	Less critical, save bandwidth
Minigames	1.0 (100%)	Important for fairness

Dashboard View

In the dashboard, each backend server appears separately:

Thomas’ Survival
Thomas’ SkyBlock
Thomas’ Factions

You can switch between servers using the dropdown in the sidebar.

Cross-Server Detection

Even though each server is linked separately, the AsyncAnticheat API can:

Track players across your entire network
Detect ban evaders using different accounts
Correlate patterns across servers
