Description from the author on Modrinth

VantaAC — Anti-Xray / Anti-ESP Protection Plugin

VantaAC is a server-side anti-cheat plugin built for Paper and Folia Minecraft servers. It protects your world by hiding valuable blocks and entities from players until they are close enough to see them legitimately, which stops X-ray and ESP cheats from working.

✨ What it does

  • Anti-Xray ⛏️ — Hides ores, chests, spawners, shulker boxes, and other valuable blocks until the player is within range. Hidden blocks are replaced with fake blocks (stone, deepslate, netherrack, etc.) so X-ray users can’t see through the world.
  • Anti-ESP ️ — Obfuscates players and mobs that are behind walls or out of line of sight, preventing ESP clients from tracking entities through solid blocks.
  • Anti-Freecam — Masks terrain below a configurable Y-level from players flying or freecamming above it, then restores the terrain smoothly as they come back down.
  • Mod Detector — Detects cheat clients (like Meteor and Wurst) the moment a player joins using a sign probe. Can automatically kick, ban, temp-ban, or run custom commands on detected players, and alerts staff in real time.
  • Admin GUI ⚙️ — An in-game menu to toggle protection modules on/off, view live server stats (TPS, online players, chunks secured), and reload configuration without restarting.(If you disable Anti ESP Or Anti Xray You need an server restart so it works again after Enabling)

Required Dependencies: ProtocolLib and PacketEvents must be installed on your server for VantaAC to work.

How to install VantaAC

  2. Install what it needs first: PacketEvents.

  3. Download the .jar file from Modrinth and put it in the plugins folder of your server.
