Minecraft anticheat guide
Vulcan, Polar, Matrix, Intave, and NoCheatPlus Hooks for FairPlay
How optional external anticheat hooks can feed FairPlay-side mitigation, alerts, punishments, and compensation rules.
External hooks are not dependencies by default
FairPlay requires PacketEvents. GrimAC, Vulcan, Polar, Intave, NoCheatPlus, Matrix, and PlaceholderAPI are optional. This matters because a production anticheat must keep loading when an optional plugin is absent, disabled, or upgraded independently.
The hook model is for servers that already invested in an external anticheat and want FairPlay-side mitigation, alert, or punishment behavior based on those external check patterns.
How hook rules should be tuned
Use stable check keys when possible. Add include and exclude patterns where vendor check names are noisy. Configure a VL floor so repeated duplicate hook events do not spam commands. Set event priority intentionally. Keep debug output visible until staff understands the hook behavior.
Competitor-aware positioning
Vulcan, Polar, Matrix, Intave, and NoCheatPlus all have existing search demand. FairPlay should not pretend they do not exist. The better page strategy is to explain exactly how FairPlay works with or beside them as a combat and mitigation control layer.
