Vulcan is an advanced cheat detection system that operates at the packet level with version support for almost all server versions.
By default, Vulcan acts silently and does not 'prevent' the player from cheating, but simply observes their actions and flags for things out of the vanilla boundaries (through the configuration certain checks are able to be turned to 'setback' to actively prevent players from cheating)
Why Vulcan?
Support
Support tickets are responded to in minutes (mostly instantly) as long as a staff member is awake. We have staff members in all time zones, ensuring that there is always someone who can help you. Unlike competitors, there is no need to deal with an annoying bot or pay additional fees to access support!
Customization
Vulcan has the most extensive configuration file and API of any anti-cheat on this website and others. Practically every part of Vulcan is configurable, so you can set it up exactly how you want. Our full configuration file can be viewed here.
Simple
No need to spend money on a fancy configuration or an additional addon; Vulcan simply works as-is. Just drag and drop it and PacketEvents into your plugins folder.
Features
Vulcan has a wide range of features to help quickly identify and remove cheaters from your server.
Client Brand Alerts:
When a player joins the server, they send special messages through plugin channels with the 'brand' of their client.
Full Alert Customization:
Vulcan allows you to fully customize its alert messages. By default, all sorts of useful information are displayed to staff, such as the player's ping, the server's TPS, the player's client version, a description of the check, and all of the details associated with the flag, with even more placeholders available to you. You are also able to color code your alerts based on how many violations the player has set off!
Advanced Violation and Punishment Logs:
Vulcan's advanced logging system keeps track of all violations and punishments on your server in an easy-to-understand way, while also providing you with plenty of useful information.
Judgment Days
Vulcan's Judgment Day feature allows you to ban players in waves!
Vulcan is compatible with any server version advertised on all server versions listed in the title We only guarantee full functionality on the following Spigots/forks: Spigot, PaperSpigot, Pufferfish, and Purpur. Folia is currently supported experimentally. This is not to say that Vulcan will not work on anything except these Spigots, however, they are the only ones in which functionality is 100% guaranteed without any issues.
!!! WE DO NOT SUPPORT MOHIST, OR FABRIC !!!
Known Incompatible Spigots:
- CatServer
- SpigotX (and all of its forks)
- SmokSpigot
- Mohist
- FoxSpigot (and a lot of other Scalebound forks that unnecessarily change/move default methods/packages)
If you are unsure as to whether or not Vulcan will work on your particular Spigot, please try using Medusa first as both plugins use the same API for listening to packets: Medusa's Plugin Page
Due to how Vulcan injects into the player's pipeline, some plugins may also cause issues and may not allow for Vulcan to properly inject and listen to the packets sent and received by the player.
May Result in Incompatibilities:
- Grim (Incompatible)
- ViaVersion running on the proxy (Even ViaVersion themselves recomend it be installed on backends)
- Anti-exploit or packet limiters that cancel ping/pong packets or transaction packets
Miscellaneous Incompatibilities:
- Butterfly/Drag Clicking, as well as any other irregular form of clicking or mouse modification. (This includes binding the swing or place keys to anything that is not a left or right-click. We have absolutely no way to distinguish someone who is auto-clicking 35 clicks per second or someone who has bound their attack key to the space bar. Either tell your players not to do this, or disable the auto-clicker checks)
- Non-vanilla movement mechanics
- Client-sided blocks
- Potion effect/amplifiers/enchantments out of the vanilla limits
- Any non-vanilla client (especially Lunar Client/BlazingPack)
GeyserMC - Vulcan automatically hooks into Floodgate and identifies Bedrock players and does not flag them (BEDROCK PLAYERS ARE TOTALLY IGNORED). GEYSER SUPPORT/EXEMPTION REQUIRES FLOODGATE-BUKKIT OR ELSE WE HAVE NO WAY OF RESOLVING WHETHER OR NOT A PLAYER IS CONNECTED THROUGH GEYSER. IF YOU ARE ON BUNGEE, YOU NEED TO DO THIS IN ORDER FOR GEYSER SUPPORT TO WORK: https://github.com/GeyserMC/Geyser/wiki/Floodgate
