Sheriffguard reads the packets, scores every player with a trust model, and fingerprints the cheat client itself, so the ban lands before the first hit connects.

The patrol
Every angle a cheater tries, watched.
Detection runs on the packets themselves, with mitigation that quietly breaks the cheat instead of tipping the player off with an instant ban.
Combat & aim
Reach, hitbox and rotation raytraced from the packet stream. Kill-aura, mace-dive and crystal automation each escalate on their own violation counter.
AttackRaytrace · MaceAura · CrystalSelfWorld & scaffold
Scaffold, tower and printer-style placement caught by pattern rather than by raw rate, with the false-positive-prone toggles shipped off by default.
PlacementAnalysisMitigation, not just bans
Five strategies per check, from SILENT through to AGGRESSIVE. Setbacks and cancelled hits break the cheat without tipping the player off.
SILENT → AGGRESSIVEML trust scoring
A trust model rides alongside the heuristics and flags the cases where the two disagree, so your staff review the genuine edge cases and nothing else.
on-device modelCloud & multi-region
Offloaded analysis, cross-server tracking and multi-proxy failover behind a single endpoint that routes to the nearest healthy edge.
auto-failoverThe deputy nobody expects
It fingerprints the cheat client itself.
Most anticheats wait for a cheater to do something. Sheriffguard asks the client a question the moment it joins, invisibly, and a hack client answers in its own handwriting.
- Silent probe on join: no GUI, no lag, one tick.
- Identifies the client from its own language files, then names it in the ban reason.
- A spoof trap catches clients that fake their translations to hide.
- The fingerprint list never ships in readable form.

Pricing
Priced per server, not per headache.
One plan with the full detection suite in it. Because the number moves with slot count, server count and platform, we quote it against your server instead of publishing a tier that would be wrong for most people.
The Sheriffguard plan
Quoted per server
Everything is in one plan. There is no tier that unlocks extra checks. What changes is scale, so the price is quoted against the server you actually run.

Questions
Before you deputize.
What Minecraft versions and server platforms does Sheriffguard support?
Sheriffguard supports Minecraft 1.21+ and every newer release. We focus on modern Minecraft versions, so support for older versions is not currently a priority.
Java Edition servers are fully supported on Spigot, Paper and Purpur, with Folia support currently in beta. It is one universal jar, with no separate build per platform and no extra plugin to install on Velocity or BungeeCord. Bedrock players connecting through Geyser are automatically excluded from checks designed around Java Edition behaviour and thresholds.
Will this Minecraft anticheat false-ban my players?
Sheriffguard is designed to minimise false bans and unfair punishments. When the plugin is connected to our cloud, detections are carefully verified before any punishment is applied, so players who are simply playing normally should not have to fear being punished by mistake.
In rare cases, a player who deliberately modifies or hides their packets and behaviour to conceal cheating may trigger a detection, because those techniques exist specifically to bypass anticheat systems. Sheriffguard continuously improves how it distinguishes legitimate players from players trying to disguise cheating.
In short: Sheriffguard is built for fair detection, so legitimate players can play without fear of being falsely banned or punished.
Does a Minecraft anticheat plugin hurt TPS?
Not this one. Sheriffguard is designed to have minimal impact on your server's TPS and performance. Only lightweight processing runs directly on your server, while the heavy detection and analysis workload is handled on Sheriffguard's private cloud infrastructure.
This means your server never has to carry the processing that advanced checks require, which is what keeps Sheriffguard from causing noticeable performance issues or TPS drops.
What cheats does Sheriffguard detect?
The behaviours servers actually get hit with: killaura and aim assist, reach, autoclicker and inhuman click patterns, fly and speed, scaffold and tower, timer, anti-knockback, auto-totem, and crystal and anchor automation, plus packet-level protocol abuse that never shows up as a server event at all.
On top of the behavioural checks, Sheriffguard fingerprints the unfair client itself when a player joins, so a modified client can be caught before it lands a single hit.
What makes Sheriffguard different from other Minecraft anticheat plugins?
Most anticheat plugins react to server events after the fact. Sheriffguard reads the packet stream directly, scores every player with a trust model, and identifies the unfair client on join rather than waiting for a cheat to be used.
It also mitigates before it punishes. A cheater meets a client that quietly does not work, instead of a ban screen and an appeal thread for you to read.
How do I install it?
Drop Sheriffguard into your server's plugins folder and the rest is handled automatically. Initial setup, licensing and configuration are taken care of for you.
If you need any assistance, our support team is available to help you set up and configure Sheriffguard on your server for the first time.
