What ReducedX-Anti Cheat is
ReducedX-Anti Cheat is a free, self-hosted anti-cheat plugin for Minecraft Java Edition servers using Paper or Spigot. Its listing specifies compatibility with Minecraft 1.21.x. Combat detection covers KillAura, attacks beyond 3.2 blocks, AutoClicker, AntiKnockback and hitbox exploits. Movement checks include Speed, Fly, NoFall, Jesus, Step and Scaffold, with lag compensation and a TPS-based safe mode. World checks look for XRay through mining paths and ore rates, and detect FastPlace. PacketFlood, JoinFlood and ReconnectSpam protections target packet spam and bot attacks. Staff can use a /punish GUI for warnings, kicks, temporary mutes and bans, including permanent and IP bans; button access is permission-based and alert levels are configurable. The config.yml and lang.yml files allow changes to messages, sensitivity, thresholds, per-world checks and bypass permissions. Other controls include violation decay, combination detection and replay analysis. Commands include /rx, /punish, /rx info, /rx logs, /rx alerts, /rx spectate and /rx reload. The listing names ReducedG as author and identifies the license as MIT.
