This update once again brings huge improvements to Spartan.
- The Cancel Violation and False Positive Detection algorithms have been incorporated in the Live Violation algorithm, saving your server's resources in the process.
- The Machine Learning algorithm has been further developed and now uses less memory while running faster, plus I will be using to implement its first detections in the future.
- Violations are now uncapped where previously they would go up to 100 per minute and are time linear, meaning they will decrease as time passes if a player is not hacking. This will offer greater stability while improving long term statistics with undisputed evidence.
- Last but not least, the plugin was once again deeply maintained with outdated handlers and listeners being rewritten to track data better while consuming less resources from your server.
- The rest is history: https://github.com/IdealisticAI/Spartan-AntiCheat/commit/a0efe1eab03edeed1f442374c4740d93d8e50020
Hello everyone. There have been a few but concerning reports about Spartan's recent update degrading performance. The issue is not crystal clear yet but is nonetheless related to memory management. While I work to fix this with a few users, I recommend you downgrade from Phase 533 to Phase 532.2 to avoid potentially dealing with this. Thank you.
This update introduces Machine Learning training algorithms for the movement checks. There are no detections yet implemented, although successful testing of a few has been conducted. I will be measuring the effects of this update to fix any potential issues introduced but to also help all of you gather data for when the detections are implemented.

https://github.com/IdealisticAI/Spartan-AntiCheat/commit/d999d0482ef4616230831e94edcd988e2b26d6df
This hotfix fully stabilizes this update and is recommended for everyone. If you are still in Phase 532 or earlier, I urge you to update, but it will not be so necessary for the already stable Phase 532.1 update.
Fixed a few console errors. Sorry folks, this update was massive, it was kind of expected, but now all good.
Since I decided to bring Machine Learning to Spartan, it is necessary to do a deep cleaning and maintenance of the plugin's code, which is what I've done with this update. This could be my biggest update so far, although I won't make such a claim. However, the title is more than true, the plugin has been hugely improved from top to bottom with attention being paid down to specific details. Here are all the changes:
https://github.com/IdealisticAI/Spartan-AntiCheat/commit/92269268f6c0d4113fd2f036eb599a63636be9d6
I will be conducting a Machine Learning project for Spartan in the future, if you wish to participate as a BETA Tester and help me train new algorithms but also get them ready for production, feel free to participate by joining at
https://www.idealistic.ai/discord and reacting in my recent news message. Thank you!
- Removed a forgotten debug message.
- Ignored always using isCancelled in the PlayerDeathEvent.
- Fixed a Damage Cause console error.
Hey folks, I hope you are all doing great. I wanted to notify that this update removes the Ban, Report, Debug & Spectate functionalities. I did this as my time is limited due to heavy workload and I want to focus only in what's important, which is checks and their respective detections that you should expect upgrades in the future. Unfortunately, moderation functionalities is not one of them and never has been, and I'd rather remove them than keep them there unmaintained with poorly implemented code of my younger self, with overall limited functionality and better alternatives available at many other places. Kicks and warnings still exist and should serve you well.
- Fixed a memory bug where messages would remain outdated and show Spartan 1.0 instead of 2.0.
- Added support for the “allowPublicKeyRetrieval” SQL option in sql.yml.
- Made the IrregularMovements equilibrium detection not increase violations when distance traveled is too low.
- Hackers will now require evidence from 2 checks instead of previously 3 checks.
- Removed the Detection Tick functionality and balanced the use of the Move event.
- Removed the default ‘spartan {player} if {tps} > 18.0 do’ unnecessary part of the punishment command.
- Spartan will no longer be responsible for measuring the stability of your server’s TPS.
- Removed the ban, unban, ban-info, report, spectate commands and their respective options because it’s not worth for Spartan to focus on low-quality moderation functionalities.
- Removed the spectate & debug functionalities and their respective options & items because it’s not worth for Spartan to focus on low-quality moderation functionalities.
We just reached 10k buyers, honestly I was never expecting to see a 5-digit number when I started this ❤️

Did some deep optimisations to the hacker identification system for those of you who have servers with a lot of players/data. The rest of you should continue to be fine, but I recommend updating as always.
Made several incremental changes in how the plugin uses punishment categories with the calculated cancel-violation threshold, updating is more than recommended.
- Previously Spartan would take averages of all player violations, divide them by the days of data, and check who was ahead the average to consider them a hacker. This has several critical problems however, such as:
1. Averages do not account for the plugin version, which has an impact on the stability over a timespan.
2. Averages do not account for individual detections, which react differently per gameplay, etc.
3. Averages do not account for individual days, which can have vastly different data depending on the circumstances.
You get the point, Spartan is moving away from averages which create a black/white picture and will implement more advanced mathematics in order to get more variety and more precision at the same time.
- The False Positive identification algorithm has been rewritten to offer more accurate results but also better and faster stability.
- The Performance Optimizer feature has been incorporated into the Player Profile object as the whole profiling system has also been rewritten.
- Removed the Performance Optimizer settings.yml option as it will no longer cause players to bypass and thus won’t be of any benefit to configure.
- Removed a lot of unnecessary objects, enums & classes and replaced them with more organized code.
- The Information Analysis object has been incorporated into the Player Violation object to allow it to be warmed up and as a result take less resources from the CPU.
- The Cloud customer-support command feature will no longer send the messages.yml configuration as there’s no use for it.
- The Research Engine sub-cache will now be refreshed when its responsible thread is not currently being used to prevent overloading it and calculating unnecessarily.
- Adjusted the False Positive Detection to be slightly more lenient, especially with non-hacker players by using universal variables.
- Adjusted the False Positive Detection to take the memory it needs to avoid unnecessary iterations.
- Restored the mention of false positives in the detection notifications as originally supposed.
- Slightly improved the punishment algorithm by checking if a player had significant evidence in the past.
- Restored some of the description functionalities in the Manage Checks inventory menu.
- Removed the identification of problematic detections as it wasn’t being used to its full potential.
- Balanced the KillAura raytrace detection in regard to how close an entity should be to block the path of the hit.
- Slightly improved the Linear Regression math algorithm with better use of lists.
- Several of Spartan’s threads have been adjusted to run on the main thread if the thread is not free to avoid delaying important interactions.
- Rewritten all identifier handlers as objects and incorporated them into the Spartan Player object.
- Slightly rebalanced the Fishing Hook handler with replacement of barely efficient used methods.
- Slightly rebalanced the Game Mode handler with more conditions to consider before reaching an outcome.
- The FastClicks frequency and pattern detections will now be influenced by the clicks-per-second limit slightly if raised above the default.
- Slightly organized the Player info inventory menu to have a consistency with its item description.
- The config.yml/checks.yml configuration will now load significantly previously relative to when it’s used to help alleviate potential exceptions.
- Decreased the amount of threads the plugin uses by incorporating the ground & move utilities in the Spartan Player object.
- Increased the accuracy of the feedback of the punishment algorithm in regards to punishment cancellation via code.
- Added a new settings.yml option for toggling the Developer API:Important.enable_developer_api
- The Player Info inventory menu will now introduce a back item instead of close for those who use it in conjunction with the Spartan inventory menu.
- The anti-cheat will now use more the calculated Cancel Violation instead of the default one for more accurate results.
- Removed several parts of the Player Profile objects that were not contributing to significant parts of the code.
- The Cloud sub-feature Punished Players will now trust data from bedrock players.
- A lot of systematic limitations related to bedrock players have been removed due to the checks having improved.
- Rewritten important parts of the Maximum Checked Players and Detection Tick features to optimize performance more.
- Replaced several on-ground methods with the on-ground counter method of the Spartan Player object.
- Significantly improved the way the reporting system forms check relations when a player is reported.
- Noticeably improved the Config utilities by spreading the cache to each message for faster replacement.
- Removed complex replacing of syntax as it is no longer in use by any possible user.
Corrected an issue in the Player Velocity object that prevented some data collection, updating is more than recommended to help enrich the functionality of the Velocity check.
- When a check runs, multiple detections execute per player, which can sometimes have consequences in performance. From this update and on, Spartan will allocate a single reusable thread to run detections asynchronously. This thread will run only when it’s not busy with another detection and when the circumstances allow for it, otherwise the detection will revert to run synchronously. For example, when we run a detection asynchronously and the check has preventions enabled, we risk moving the prevention to the next server tick, which will allow the hack module to work for a bit and cause potential damages to one’s server, so Spartan will first make sure there’s enough time in the current server tick to ensure the prevention also runs before the server updates itself. Additionally, Spartan will respect the time left in the server tick by running asynchronously only what’s necessary such as mathematical calculations instead of trivial code such as checking the configuration or cache to see if a detection is enabled or buffered enough, of which code has already run previously as this algorithm has been placed methodically in the code for the possible maximum potential. Lastly, this algorithm will only target heavy and frequent detections such as the ones implemented in movement checks.

- Slightly improved the speed of the punishment algorithm by using regex instead of ordinary strings.
- Compatibilities will now refresh in memory when any plugin is loaded or unloaded, thus not having a problem when a plugin loads later.
- The IrregularMovements step detection will now apply more lenient downwards limits when a player was not recently falling.
- Completely rewritten the Speed sprint detection with the same but improved design.
- The KillAura raytrace detection will now start raytracing from the entity’s width and after.

News:
- The FastBreak check has been very reliable, but has often had issues with too much restriction or too much leniency.

News:
- Spartan’s Hacker Identification feature was partly rewritten to be more accurate. Several critical mistakes were identified in the calculations of objects & handlers, and have now been corrected for good. You should now expect checks to be more lenient with legitimate players and the same aggressive with identified hackers. This will play a big role in the future, as checks are constantly receiving information about a player to judge wether they should be judged more aggressively.
- The Search Engine handler was partly rewritten it will now only semi-permanently cache object-oriented information. Any other information such as pure logs will be temporarily cached when necessary, such as when sending a developer-report. This will noticeably improve performance and decrease memory usage when not needed, aka most of the time.

News:
- Recently, Spartan started collecting detailed data about a player’s fight, which was so far used to judge whether a player’s combat is legitimate and temporarily exempt them from the KillAura check to eliminate false positives and save performance. In this update, I’ve implemented a new KillAura detection named fight-analysis, which will compare a player’s data against all other player’s “valid” data, and will most definitely easily find obvious combat hackers after just a few fights without need for many of the other combat detections to kick in.

News:
- Spartan’s Fly & IrregularMovements checks were designed many years ago, where the performance, quality & consistency of Spartan was significantly and rightfully worse. Due to continuous limitations, both checks have reached a plateau where they fail to reach the results I wish. This leads to this update, which introduces a completely rewritten IrregularMovements check with the Fly & part of the NoSlowdown check removed but included as part of IrregularMovements. The new design introduces scenario categorization & analytical verbose which allows for a tremendous amount of performance to be saved over time, while at the same time keeping all detections minimal, stable & accurate.
- In addition, two more checks that failed to meet many expectations but also have been sometimes known to be unstable are the MorePackets & ImpossibleActions scaffold/tower. After some research, I was able to find a new way to redesign the checks which resulted in their complete rewrite. The new checks are at least 2 times smaller compared to their predecessors, and takes advantage of all data objects to provide amazing stability and dramatically faster detections.
- Last but not least, this update introduces combat statistics to help improve the stability of the KillAura check, and in the future use it to improve checks and their detections. Stay tuned for more & enjoy the update, this is much bigger than it seems.

Corrected a console error caused by the IrregularMovements check.
News:
- This update further improves Spartan while I keep completing the new movement detections.

News:
- Spartan has long been able to detect problematic detections, therefore also problematic checks. This update takes this feature even further by allowing it to disable/modify specific detections in specific circumstances. Spartan runs in a large variety of servers, so despite the calculations that take place in the background, sometimes it’s best to disable a small part of a check to improve the overall stability.
- Spartan’s checks run on the main thread, but other codes such as systems, handlers, features may run asynchronously. Rarely, big servers would have issues with the Chunks system’s cache, as rapid loading/unloading would simply make it too heavy. This update corrects this issue but using native Java libraries that optimise the Chunks system, making it 3-4 times lighter.

Update to this version only if you are using a 1.17 server with data-pack world/s, it will solve a great variety of false positives. Cross-version support remains.
News:
- Last few updates were big, with two of them being major. Build 418 wasn’t very stable, so it’s recommended to update to Build 419. This update polishes the recent changes made to the code and improves existing ones that a few of you have been rightfully complaining about.

- Slightly improved the Block utilities with more accurate methods.
- Corrected dozens of Fly false positives caused by the Spartan Location object.
News:
- Spartan’s lag leniencies have largely improved by having their purpose rearranged. Many calculations were removed where they were no longer needed or simply never needed. This will help with dealing with hackers that use ping-spoof modules to increase their latency in order to give themselves an unfair advantage.
- A major was found in one of Spartan’s objects that caused a number to not increase, resulting in a big part of the KillAura check to not work properly or at all. This has been fixed, so you should expect better & faster detections.
- Completely rewritten the lag leniencies of the plugin to work in par with the server’s needs instead of limit calculations.
- Corrected several 1.17+ movement false positives caused by the brand new light block.

Corrected a class initialisation issue caused by missing libraries in older server versions of the game.
News:
- After many years, Spartan’s punishment system is finally changing. Spartan will no longer depend on the user’s configuration (config.yml) to understand when to punish players, but it will instead use its analysed stored data to confidently understand when a player should be punished. This means that you now only need to specify the punishments via the settings.yml configuration, and choose which checks you want to punish for via checks.yml. Due to this being a big change, the plugin will still use its legacy config.yml configuration if it exists, or if both File & SQL logs have been disabled.
- Player IP addresses via the Spartan Info inventory menu will now only be shown to users with the spartan.manage permission.
- Potentially corrected a few movement false positives by increasing the accuracy of the Spartan Player object.
- Greatly optimised the Exploits ping-spoof detection with the ability to skip specific tasks.
- Slightly optimised the TPS system with less schedulers running.
- Noticeably improved all schedulers with faster & more consistent code.

- Corrected a Permissions system bug where adding permission via the API wouldn't be counted in some cases.
Corrected a critical bug that prevented a fresh loaded Spartan from enabling all checks. It's more than recommended to download this hot-fix update.
News:
- This update corrects several bugs and issues caused by the 2 recent updates, which the first was major, and the second quite major as well. Any features affected by these bugs have been automatically disabled via the Cloud feature and will automatically enable once you update the plugin. In addition, several micro optimisations have taken place which will show over the long term.
- The configurations wave.yml & bans.yml have been combined to storage.yml, each with its own category for easier management. In addition, the Syn configuration reports.yml has been removed and added in settings.yml as a configuration option.

- Corrected a few movement false positives caused by a Ground utilities dripleaf block identification bug.
- Slightly improved the Spartan Player object with new 1.17 related methods.
Made a few changes to the Spectator feature to make it less confusing.
News:
- A spectate command has been implemented with very specific functionality to allow you to teleport to players that are potentially hacking. Once you spectate a player, you will be automatically hidden from all players but staff members and will be reshown once you change world or get too far away from the spectated player. In addition, the default clickable command has changed to the spectate command.
- This update introduces Dynamic Silent Mode. To set it, simply go into config.yml, and in the silent option set it to dynamic instead of true or false. This will make the anti-cheat be silent when a player with notifications enabled is online, or will prevent otherwise. This should give more control to the staff team and how they manage their checks.
- Last but not least, the Configuration system was partly rewritten with object orientation. This will help save performance by reducing the calls made to the memory, which over time stack up very quickly.
- Implemented a new command to spectate players.

News:
- For years now, Spartan has been storing almost all its interactions with players in YAML files & SQL databases. Data such as this is then analysed, separated & cached by the Search Engine, which powers Spartan’s statistical analysis. This update ditches the Search Engine to a great extent and implements Player Profiling, which is fully object oriented, more organised, more scalable, and most importantly dramatically faster. On the outside, it may look the same, but on the inside a huge leap has just taken place.

News:
- This update contains many improvements, corrections & optimisations, like all other regular updates. It was released prior to what I had originally planned due to the requirement to comply with a few SpigotMC rules/terms.

News:
- As plenty of you are aware, Spartan uses much math to identify & learn from its violations, either if that’s for applying a prevention in a major situation or correcting a false positive. This update largely optimises the Math utilities for faster identification of numbers, ultimately cutting the previous time in half or even less. In addition, new objects were implemented to improve cache and further reduce the already optimised math checks.
- A new Developer API event has been implemented by the name “PlayerFoundOreEvent”. It will be called when a player finds a special ore that is compatible with Spartan’s requirements and will result in a notification. For more information, read the API documentation on the plugin’s overview page.

IrregularMovements.step_limit_in_blocks
Removed:
IrregularMovements.check_step_hacking
- This may be considered a special update for many, so I would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone that has supported me over the years of me developing Spartan.

Checks.yml Changes:
Code (Text):
Added:
Criticals.check_tools_only
IrregularMovements.step_limit_in_blocks
Removed:
IrregularMovements.check_step_hacking

- Greatly optimised the Search Engine with faster and more cache friendly methods.
News:
- Spartan is a popular plugin, and its popularity attracts masses of people wanting to learn more about it after making their purchase. This update implements an FAQ command, which stands for Frequently Asked Questions. You will essentially run the command along with a “proper question” and it will reply back with a few possible answers. This will also decrease the time I have to spend providing support, hence giving me more time for other implementations. For now, only several answers exist and more will be added in the near future.

News:
- Spartan has in a few cases been suffering by time when it comes to its KillAura check. Main reason behind that is hack modules such as hop, timer & speed, which cause the player to move fast and get too close to the player, rendering some KillAura detections not useful. This update introduces new KillAura detections that will combat this by comparing distance between hits.
- Potentially corrected a few Speed liquid multiple speed features false positives.
- Corrected a few small Jesus bypasses caused by an optimisation in the check.
- Noticeably improved the SQL Logs feature with a limit on the amount of rows per query.

- Attempted once more to prevent the Staff Cheat feature from working in the first minute when authentication plugins are detected.
- The BoatMove check will now support 2 player passengers instead of just one.
If you are using Aikar Flags, please ignore this update, it is not required for you. This version removes the manual Garbage Collector call made by Spartan that could help improve servers without proper arguments. Results are mixed, but I wish to not risk this any further.
News:
- The Cloud features have shown to be useful for everyone and in many ways. This update allows me to set configuration changes via the Cloud for customers individually, which will help save time for everyone, but also make the customer experience even better than it already is.
- The Cloud Developer Report feature used to offer a command without arguments. This version of the command was removed due to it being inefficient and confusing. This update introduces this version of command back, which should be used by new customers, and will automatically find problematic checks and report them.

- Spartan’s Verbose & Mining notifications have been replaced by a unified notification system. A player can now only toggle notifications and change their frequency. If a player has the default notification frequency, they may be more notified about certain players depending on how close they are to them.
- Spartan’s movement processes are split in two, the ones who run in events and ones who run in schedulers. This update provides a significant & apparent performance improvement on top of all the previous, by moving 99% of movement processes to events, which will prevent unnecessary calls, reduce memory usage, and reduce performance waste from similarly collected data.
- Spartan’s data utilities, also known as Cooldown, Millis, Double, Attempts & Tracking, have been rewritten as objects, which will greatly help a server’s garbage collector to manage them and prevent high memory usage. This should also help the plugin’s general performance by requiring less cycles when searching for information.

- Several major bugs have been corrected that prevented the correct functionality of the ElytraMove check. This check has been considered semi-advanced since it almost was released, so I decided to improve all its current detections and implement a new more advanced one.
- The NoSlowdown check has received 2 new detections. One aims to better handle potion usage, and the other will take advantage of ProtocolLib to detected packets. Please keep in mind that the packets detection is still slightly unstable and is not enabled yet.
- A huge bug has found in the X-Ray check related to Syn members, that prevented it from working correctly for the rest of customers. This has now been corrected and its detections has become noticeably more strict.

Build 253 has come out and feedback is very mixed. Many customers have had their server's performance increased dramatically, while others had the opposite happen. I recommend to customers having big maps to use Build 250, until I find a stable solution. Have a great day!
News:
- A new check has been implemented to fight against X-Ray modules. It is purely based on statistical analysis, therefore it is part of the Search-Engine feature. To use it you must have either file or database logs enabled, and you should expect it to catch hackers over a relatively short period of time.
- Huge improvements were made in both synchronous and asynchronous check performance. Chunks are now cached in Spartan's systems, preventing the plugin from accessing the world's data multiple times per tick and ultimately killing the performance.

I want to clarify this so new customers aren't confused. I am currently trying to work with a compatibility that is directly bound to development Spigot builds, which are NOT meant for production as advised by md_5. Problems were and are expected. Do not overreact or post negative reviews. Downgrade to Build 237 if Build 238 isn't working well for you.

Based on the increase of the file's size, this update is meant to be kindly big. If Spartan has helped you or your server, please feel free to post a review as it really helps.
News:
Logs:
- I am releasing this update sooner than expected due to some utilities being messed up by wrong or forgotten arguments that mainly caused movement false positives.

@EventHandler
public void Event(MachineLearningEvent e) {
Player p = e.getPlayer();
double default = e.getDefaultPercentage(); // Returns the default legitimacy percentage.
double average = e.getAveragePercentage(); // Returns the average legitimacy percentage.
Boolean combat = e.isCombatRelated(); // Returns a boolean depending if the player is in combat.
Boolean contact = e.isContactRelated() // Returns a boolean depending if the player is starting some combat.
}
This is not Spartan's MachineLearning check but simply the basis of it. Each developer can individually use these variables differently to create a custom detection. How Spartan generates the percentages and what it does next in the original check will stay as a secret. Feel free to make free or third-platform paid additions with this event.

- KillAura aim-accuracy false positive against velocity hacks.
- Fixed an EntityMove skeleton-horse null-pointer console error.
- Fixed a SelfHit velocity protection null-pointer console error.
- Fixed a Velocity combined bouncing-block false positive.
- Added a new developer event named MachineLearningEvent.
- Optimized the detection thread of the Velocity check.
Code (Text):
@EventHandler
public void Event(MachineLearningEvent e) {
Player p = e.getPlayer();
double default = e.getDefaultPercentage(); // Returns the default legitimacy percentage.
double average = e.getAveragePercentage(); // Returns the average legitimacy percentage.
Boolean combat = e.isCombatRelated(); // Returns a boolean depending if the player is in combat.
Boolean contact = e.isContactRelated() // Returns a boolean depending if the player is starting some combat.
}
In the next update, I will be focusing on major MachineLearning improvements.
This update mainly focuses on performance improvement. Many pointless codes were removed, many were rewritten and others were greatly optimized to reach the current flawless standards. Clearly, the file's size was slightly reduced.
Improvements:
MachineLearning, IrregularMovements, Fly, InventoryClicks, Criticals, KillAura, FastBreak, Exploits check.
Cooldown, Combat, Move, Player, Attempt, Double, Millis, Permission, Punish, Config, Message, Latency, Math, Plugin utils.
Elytra, Lag-Management protection.
Settings, Checks configuration.
Violation, Menu, Permission system.
Essentials, TreeFeller support.
News:
Added a new setting.yml option. (check_server_compatibility_on_load)
Added a new settings.yml option. (ground_teleport_on_detection)
Implemented custom events for better performance results.
Optimized various utils, handlers, systems, and detections.
Added more verbose information to the InventoryClicks check.
Removed silent mode support for the KillAura check.
Updated the block utils sensitive material library.
Removed countless of pointless null protections.
Removed a useless project package.
Fixes:
FastBreak sensitive block false positives.
Fly high-level speed effect false positives.
InventoryClicks rapid shift clicking false positives. (possibly)
Many minor performance issues regarding almost all classes.
