Hello, everyone. Kadzuki here. Today I would just like to suggest something. I think that the server will become a lot greater if you guys add an anti-cheat to the network. There is one downfall, though: Ghost Clients. Ghost Clients are virtually undetectable, some at least. If you work hard enough at a good-working anti-cheat you may be able to come up with something that detects these ghost clients. Anyway, I would just like to suggest that you guys make an anti-cheat.
Do you have an idea how hard a anti cheat is really to code and work fully? without falsely punishing or falsely framing people for using clients? it's not like a thing you get in a week or on a day it takes times, and it also costs a lot of you're paying a developer, be happy at least they have a working anti cheat at this moment though it has flaws it's good enough, choose have none or have the one we have now.
I definitely think the anti-cheat we have now doesn't do a good job. Every time I come on KitPVP or SG there is at least 1 hacker in every lobby. This really does need to stop. And yes, anti-cheat does take a LOT of work to make, and I understand that. But It's important that we have a good one to keep the server healthy and safe.
J&H already has an anti-cheat. Though it has flaws, I still wouldn't want to spend my money to ban only half the hackers in games (Hypickle's watchdog, I'm looking at you)
Who says you can't have multiple anti cheats? Some of you are acting like NCP is godly and nothing will be replaced or newly implemented. Sure, it takes a long time to code and a long time to tweak, but it is worth it. The server I am staff on has more than 2 anti cheat systems. We have our standard NCP and 2 custom coded. One of them is able to detect if you are on a hacked client due to the client sending flawed data to our server. The other provides a decently accurate report on players from each server that will alert us of possible hackers. So far, the client detecting is 100% accurate and is also getting updated to slowly detect more and more clients. Of course, I don't think we will ever see Minecraft hacker free, but it helps staff and players a shit ton. Use your resources wisely.
