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 declares PacketEvents as a hard dependency and configures seven optional external anticheat hooks: Grim, Vulcan, NoCheatPlus, Polar, Intave, Matrix, and Spartan. PlaceholderAPI is a separate optional plugin dependency, not one of those seven anticheat hooks. The descriptor does not prove runtime coexistence with each anticheat plugin release.

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 plugin 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

FairPlay can connect alert events from Grim, Vulcan, NoCheatPlus, Polar, Intave, Matrix, and Spartan with staff notifications and configured actions.

Seven configured optional integrations

FairPlay provides separate hook settings for Grim, Vulcan, NoCheatPlus, Polar, Intave, Matrix, and Spartan. Configure event filters, triggers, and notifications for the anticheat plugins installed on your server.

No shared test report establishes that all seven integrations work together or with every anticheat plugin release. Use the plugin-specific documentation and configuration for the integration you intend to use, then verify that installation, event delivery, and enforcement ownership on your own test server.

FAQ

How do FairPlay’s Vulcan hooks work?

How do FairPlay’s Matrix hooks work?

The optional Matrix hook maps matching events to configured FairPlay notifications or actions. Test it with your installed plugin versions before enabling enforcement.
