What both publish
| Fact | MLSAC | Shard |
|---|---|---|
| Compatibility | The maker says PacketEvents is built into the plugin jar and no client mod is needed. | The plugin requires Java 17 or newer and a Paper or Folia based server, and supports SQLite or MySQL storage. |
| Dashboard | The website provides licences, keys, presets, statistics and player dossiers. | The cloud dashboard shows statistics for every connected server in one place. |
| Detection | Its checks analyze combat data for cheats including KillAura, TriggerBot, AimAssist, Reach, and hits through walls. | Shard says its behavior analysis is trained on real gameplay and detects cheaters without manual review. |
| Punishments | Server owners can configure a response ladder including damage reduction, kicks and bans. | The quick start says the plugin defaults to a kick on the first detection, followed by temporary bans up to 30 days. |
| Purpose | MLSAC is a neural-network anticheat for Minecraft servers. | Shard provides cloud protection against combat cheats on Minecraft servers. |
| Setup | Setup uses a server plugin, a licence key, and a preset configured on the site. | The quick start instructs users to install the plugin, create a server in the dashboard, and link it with the /shard connect command. |
| Support | The wiki offers support tickets, Telegram and Discord for setup help. | Shard lists email for support, billing, and refund requests, plus Telegram and a Discord community. |
