MLSAC

Overview

MLSAC is a cloud-scored anti-cheat plugin for Minecraft server operators who want neural-network combat checks without running detection on their game server. Its free Beginner plan makes it possible to start with the Mini model, but daily request limits and paid-model requirements make it less suitable for servers that need uninterrupted checks or broader model choice.

Key features

MLSAC analyzes camera movement and combat-related packets to flag KillAura, TriggerBot, AimAssist, Reach and hits through walls. Detection runs on remote MLS servers, which the maker says avoids using the Minecraft server’s CPU or TPS for analysis. That can be useful for operators guarding server performance, though it requires sending combat data to a third party for scoring.

Setup uses a server plugin, a licence key and a preset configured on the website. PacketEvents is built into the plugin jar, so no client mod is required. Owners can configure responses including alerts, damage reduction, kicks and bans, and replay analysis is supported. The dashboard handles licences, keys and presets, alongside statistics and player dossiers.

The plugin sends combat camera and body movement, hits, player names and UUIDs to the cloud; it does not send chat or inventories. The privacy policy says MLSAC may also collect account identifiers, technical information and interaction history, and says it does not require passport data or photos. The administration says it takes reasonable data-protection measures but cannot guarantee absolute security for information sent over the internet. Setup help is available through support tickets, Telegram and Discord.

Pricing

Beginner costs nothing and includes the Mini model. That is a low-risk starting point for small servers or operators assessing whether cloud-scored combat detection suits them, but the plan’s daily request limit matters: when checks run out, they pause until the next day.

Pro and Pulse are reserved for paid plans; Pulse also requires project verification. Ultra is early access for plugin 2.0 and cannot run alongside the other models. Paid subscriptions or licences are assigned to the dashboard after payment confirmation, usually instantly or within 1 to 5 minutes. The pricing model is freemium, but paid-plan prices, quotas and seat terms are custom pricing.

Platforms

MLSAC is offered for web and Windows. Its server plugin supports Paper, Spigot, Folia, kSpigot and Purpur. The plugin and website-based configuration make it a fit for those server environments, rather than a general-purpose desktop anti-cheat tool.

Who it's for

MLSAC suits Minecraft server owners seeking combat-focused detection, configurable punishments and remote analysis that the maker says does not consume server CPU or TPS. It is a weaker fit for operators unwilling to send combat movements and player identifiers to a cloud service, or those who need detection to continue after a daily quota is exhausted.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Remote neural-network scoring keeps detection processing off the Minecraft server, according to the maker.
• Pro: The free Beginner plan includes Mini, and the plugin does not require a client mod or separate PacketEvents installation.
• Pro: Configurable responses range from alerts and damage reduction to kicks and bans; replay analysis is supported.
• Con: Checks pause until the next day when the plan’s daily request limit is reached, which can leave a server without these checks for the remainder of that day.
• Con: Combat movement, hits and player identifiers go to the cloud, which may not suit privacy-sensitive operators.
• Con: Pulse requires project verification, while Ultra remains early access and cannot run with other models.

Alternatives

For a broader comparison, browse the Minecraft Anti-Cheat Plugins list. Choose CheckHacks if an always-free option with optional donations and self-hosted availability is the priority. GuardAC is another freemium option with a free plan and trial, available through API and web platforms.

Pick Intave if you want a free self-hosted option with movement and combat cheat detection, while accepting that its free plan excludes combat and build automation detection and priority support. GK AntiCheat is a free self-hosted plugin alternative. Nimbus AntiCheat is free and self-hosted, with a stated Paper 1.21.8 target, Java 21 requirement, PacketEvents dependency and Java-edition-only support. NoCheatPlus is a free self-hosted Bukkit/Spigot plugin under GPL-3.0. VoidAC is a free option with API and self-hosted platforms, while ReducedX-Anti Cheat is free and self-hosted.

Verdict

MLSAC is a sensible choice for Minecraft server operators who want cloud-based combat scoring, configurable enforcement and a free way to begin with Mini. Its main advantage is moving detection work off the server; its main trade-offs are cloud transmission of combat data and daily request caps that can pause checks. Choose it if those terms fit your server, and look elsewhere if you require local processing or continuous checks beyond the plan’s daily limit.
