With the new speed and flight simulation checks, Vulcan finally patched year-long speed and flight bypasses.

However, packet no fall and fast eat works flawlessly by joining a legacy server with the modern client (Viaversion)

I also don't understand why most of the combat checks are completely gone on entities that are not players, making it pretty useless for PvE SMP.

Scaffold K is a complete joke. Why would you flag someone for bridging a few blocks consistently? Anyone who can God bridge more than a few blocks gets flagged

Vulcan is good but people can bypass some minor cheats. I heard that a lot of people think it's a bad anti-cheat, but I haven't had much issues with.

There could be improvements like the lag back, no false flags/kicks/bans.

Is there a less sensative version? Getting a lot of false positives, but overall better than Spartan

remove dependiencie PacketEvents API 2.7.0

They are bug and have random kicks...

A lot of people say Vulcan is garbage, has a lot of bypasses, lots of falses, etc etc. I'm not saying there aren't bypasses or falses, every anticheat has them, and yes you can fly on Vulcan with proper bypasses, but I still think it is a good anticheat. It is highly configurable, you can pretty much change like half the anticheat in the config if you wanted to, and even if it's not recommended you can (if you want to) modify buffers to make checks stricter/more lenient. Frap is an awesome developer, and while he may not have worked on Vulcan a lot in the past he is much more active now and he patched quite a lot of things, just look at the updates tab and you will see what I mean.

Only reason why I rate this 4 stars instead of 5 is because there are some things that other 20 dollar anticheats have that Vulcan doesn't (3.01 Reach detection, etc.), but the reach detection is still fairly good (about 3.05+ detected) and overall it's a decent anticheat.

Do not expect this anticheat to be perfect, no anticheat is. If you really want to fix almost everything, don't buy Vulcan just to then get mad at Frap, he works very hard on Vulcan.

The anticheat system appears to be functioning well and is detecting appropriate flags effectively. However, I could use some assistance with certain aspects. I’ve joined the Discord support server for further help. Support Discord: Penawar

pretty good anticheat, you do need to config it a little bit so it can be more powerful but its still reliable w/ default configs. beats spartan ac from my own testing.

spartan bypasses: 17/25
vulcan bypasses: 4/25

Best anti cheat for this price. I think I got brain damage from reading those previous reviews and hopefully, I'll recover from it

Not recommended for those who create items with itemedit or command. Plugin malfunctioning. The developer explained the item description and the problem on Discord, but they didn't understand. Don't buy this. It's better not to buy it, just use it as it is. I blew my money. It's really the worst. The support team doesn't help either, and even if you keep showing them evidence, they don't understand it. Never, never, never.

With the use of this shitty PacketEvents 2.0 API I cant use this plugin for now. This is because I add new Packets to Spigot 1.8.

When I first used vulcan this would be a 5 out of five 100% and it still is but after a while I reinstalled vulcan and it stopped working the plugin turned red and don't even make a folder for itself, any way I can fix this?

100000x Better than spartan and other paid anticheat. No lag, no falses, worth the price.

W dev, W plugin and overall W everything! blocks my players from cheating effectively without using too much server resources!

Great job, frap seems to be a good person. I got this for free and it works very well!

W Developer. You get this from time to time for free when you bought spartan. It doesn't mess with the server performance.

I have been using this anti-cheat for a very long time. Very happy! It detects cheaters quite well, false detections are rare, very good support. Frap, don't stop and continue to develop the anti-cheat!

W Plugin.

My partner had it purchased under his spigot, and we've been using it for months now with little to no false positives. Support has always been great when he reached out. Glad to finally have a copy of it myself!

It is hands down the best plugin, even out of the box, it's ready to fight them annoying hackers.

Great anti-cheat and very helpful support!
Properly helped me integrate a failsafe into my own project, providing me with support not through a bad AI chatbot and friendly staff

Tried Vulcan and its competitors and for me it Vulcan clearly comes out on top!

Impressions of this anti-cheat are mixed.
It is plug & play, but note that without proper configuration the anti-cheat will be weak.
On the other hand, it does produce a low number of false positives, but the price for this is a huge buffer, which leads to a huge number of bypasses. In general, I think that it is moviton to maliciously use a buffer.

By the way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUUHVwANU8k

Hands down my favorite and most successful anticheat system I've used! I was able to configure it exactly how I need for my particular server! Also the developer is active which is a huge +

This plugin is like a magic trick. You don't know how it does things but you're glad it does.

Good plugin but I need help for config alert/log please help me discord/pleykaaaa

An absolute god tier anti-chest plugin. Absolutely essential for your survival/pvp server. Never had an issue with it since purchase and I am glad it is still being maintained to this day.

Please continue to update this excellent resource as we will use it for years to come. =D

Good anti-cheat, but the author has slowly been losing interest in keeping it updated, there have been no new checks in years and there doesn't seem to be much motivation to patch bypasses.

The amount of time vulcan takes to update to the latest version only increases over time (currently there is no ETA for 1.21.3).
This makes little sense because most of the work in updating is already handled by PacketEvents (a library used by vulcan which receives little to no credit/revenue)

It would be a great improvement if packet events wasn't shaded into vulcan so that we could update it ourselves.

Great anti-cheat. I've used Vulcan for many years now and it essentially always works as expected and never gives trouble. Great for detecting cheaters who normally wouldn't be caught, and support from frep and the team is good. Hopefully 1.21.3 support releases soon!

Great Anticheat, Best i've seen for 1.21.1. Works like a charm and actually detects stuff or doesnt randomly crash the server.

Over a month has passed, and the second most popular anticheat on SpigotMC still hasn’t been updated to support the latest game version (1.21.3), which was released over a month ago. Additionally, the past year has seen little to no significant improvements or feature updates. This lack of timely updates and meaningful progress gives the impression that customer needs are being neglected, which is disappointing for a paid resource with such a strong reputation.

Before leaving this review, I reached out to the main developer, Frap, who confirmed there isn’t even an ETA for the update: https://imgur.com/a/myPOkNy.

For a resource of this popularity and price, I expected a much higher level of responsiveness and commitment

I loved vulcan before, but I had to uninstall it actually, because it started to kick people all the time for different reasons after I updated to 1.21.3 (I know the plugin isn't updated to 1.21.3 yet) but it was a pain.

Otherwise it worked really good in the version before! Just need some updates to the config!

(I tried to remove the most causing kicks myself, with enabling it in LP, but there was randoms all the time so I gave up)

what the two last users said. thanks for your work. we are pleased, but those should be addressed

Pls update and patch all bypass, this ac has lots of bypass on every client. Also i still love this anticheat

The plugin is very good but can we get an update for 1.21.3? I saw some errors in the plugin!

I initially purchased the Vulcan Anti Cheat plugin with high expectations.
While the plugin offers a range of features aimed at preventing common hacks, my experience has been mixed.

On the positive side, Vulcan does detect many types of hacks effectively, catching issues like fly, speed, and killaura.
The configuration options are extensive, allowing for a certain level of customization to tailor the plugin for different server setups.

One major downside I encountered was the performance impact. Despite configuring the plugin carefully, Vulcan caused noticeable server lag, and in several instances, it led to server crashes. This significantly affected gameplay, especially during peak times.
After troubleshooting and adjusting settings, the issues remained, which was disappointing given the cost of the plugin.

Overall, Vulcan Anti Cheat has potential and does offer solid cheat detection, but the performance drawbacks might be a deal-breaker for servers where stability is a priority.

Very great Anticheat!
If Reach & Hitbox Checks from Grim would be in this AntiCheat, it would definitely be the best.

Very good anticheat, I hope the menu will make a comeback soon! I hope development continues into the future, strong plugin!

Its sad there are no plans to bring back the GUI with a patch for the exploit, but except for that this is a very very good anti-cheat and its one of the most configurable plugins ive ever used which is very nice, 9/10!

Still no Hitbox checks.
Take a look at Grims hitbox checks and yours, Vulcan cant detect +100 hitboxes, its insane.

Please fix that

This is a very good anti-cheat. This is better than some other anti-cheat I have used. It doesn't trigger randomly and kick people and support isn't ruthless. 9.5 / 10

Best anti-cheat every for your servers. I highly recommend this to everyone. love you, Frap :)

Author respond my previous review with this
"the fly has been patched for a long time, velocity bypass will get kicked by transaction handling, there are several autoblock checks that will detect any form of packet autoblock (you are aware normal players can block hit right). most of this is just flat out wrong but there is little point in arguing with people like this.

vulcan was never designed to be a perfect anticheat, hence the statements in the disclaimers page. for our target audience it does its job for a fair price."

First of all, I do want to mention that the developer is passively aggressive to anyone leaving an honest bad review and is considered unprofessional in any developer community.

I can go specific with you.

Fly: there are so many variations of ghost fly, and Vulcan only mange to patch the very first one.
Autoblock: You realize by autoblock, I meant blocking while with noslow, right? Vulcan only takes a simple vanilla packet order check to prevent the use of vanilla autoblock. Unfortunately, this is even bypassed on the free client now.

Velocity: Vulcan takes no action to check which direction the player has taken the velocity. In simple terms, I can take negative velocity, meaning a player hits me, and I will go forward instead of backward. You can make a working 0 horizontal velocity in ANY modern client by abusing this: Taking 50% of the velocity back and taking the rest forward after a tick.

Vulcan also has many other flaws; it does not have clip checks, as nofall bypass, fast eat bypass.

"Vulcan is never designed to be a perfect anti-cheat" is not the reason for you to ignore bypasses. When the customer purchases an anti-cheat, they expect at least the anti-cheat not to have a fly bypass and an 8 BPS per second speed.

Where is your proof of "most of this is just flat-out wrong"? I can send you an actual bypass.

I am sorry, but even NoCheatPlus does not have the exploits Vulcan has.

Since you also talk about price, I am obviously going to compare it to Grim(Free and Open Source). Grim does not have all these exploits that Vulcan has and currently detects 99% of horizontal velocity, 3.01 reach, and does not have a speed and fly bypass. Yes, it's hard to configure, and it has false positives, but at least it actually blocks cheats.

This is a very honest review:

It's been two years. Vulcan Ghost Flight was introduced in Vulcan 2.7.0 and has not been patched since this review(Vulcan 2.9.0)

Vulcan is one of the only AntiCheat that currently has an infinite fly bypass by a free client.

I do not like promoting cheats; for the people who do not believe me, search for a Vulcan-bypassing video on YouTube by typing "Vulcan bypass" into the search bar.

Not to mention that Vulcan is a loose check-based anti-cheat and has a lot of other bypass and disablers.

Vulcan also has 0 horizontal velocity bypass.

What is the point of making the entire alphabet of the badpacket, as well as aim and kill aura checks, when none of these actually detect any properly made configuration?

If you run a 1.8.9 server, you should know that autoblock is one of the most advantageous, and Vulcan(as it claims on the store page) takes no action against such a cheat.

I do not understand the purpose of using Vulcan; you can't block blatant cheaters or detect ghost cheats. All you can really block with this AntiCheat is people with no cheating experience.


I do say positive about Vulcan. Vulcan is one of the AntiCheats that gives a truly vanilla experience with almost no false positives. False positives are also patched very fast.


You, as the server owner, should make your own best judgment. Do you want to use an AntiCheat that gives a Vanilla experience but fails to block many blatant cheats, such as BHop and Fly?

It's a good anticheat, the only issue I've seen is the popular bypasses for this. It is good because it works against most people who don't spend the time looking into how to bypass it, but for anyone smart in the slightest it is bypassed way easier than some other paid anticheats I've seen.

Best anticheat but causes some plugin errors with itemedit, itemtag, excellent crates and vouchers

Been using Vulcan on our server for quite a while now and I'm impressed. Plenty of ways to configure it, but even out of the box it offers solid protection. The owner and their Staff responds quickly when dealing with false positives or other issues. I can recommend this plugin for server owners looking for an anti-cheat.

niccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccce plugin but could u support folia?

this is the best anticheat i have ever used a big thank you to all who help with this project

This was the best purchase I ever made to my server, Best anticheat ever!!! i love you ❤️❤️❤️ :333

Has been a pretty effective solution removing cheaters from the server. Have used others and found this to be #1.

I highly recommend this Minecraft anti-cheat plugin for its outstanding performance and reliability. It excels in detecting and preventing almost every form of cheating, ensuring a fair and enjoyable gameplay environment. The plugin's accuracy and effectiveness in catching cheaters set it apart from others, making it an essential tool for any server looking to maintain integrity and security. Its seamless integration and consistent updates further enhance its value, making it an indispensable asset for server administrators.

Just want to respond to the review beneath me, he closed the genral channel in the discord server. You can still recive support via tickets. He closed it bcs ppl who are not verfied, ie people who are using the cracked rversion of the plugin are asking for support.

PURCHASE WARNING: Developer literally closes his discord because he’s unable to deal with the emotions of running an anti-cheat. Childish as ever. Quite literally can’t believe what I’m witnessing.

Been using for almost 2 year.

I changed to another plugin which is i made greatest choice.
If you are strugling to choose ANTICHEAT plugin. This is right one.

My Anticheat of choice and the one I always recommend to users of my plugins.

Just one thing, on 1.21 theres an error on startup:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: net.minecraft.resources.ResourceLocation.<init>(java.lang.String)

Seems to still work fine as far as I can tell, I just like to keep my console completely error-free. If it's low priority I'd be happy to PR a fix, just DM me.

Keep up the good work!

There are many false positives in 1.21, could you please fix it, I will have to remove the plugin until it is fixed, it is penalizing my users out of nowhere, in 1.20 backwards it worked fine.

Absolutely the best Anticheat there is, at least at this price! Doesn't false flag almost at all, like the other Acs i tried was falsing so much that my player base was getting angry !

I'm loving Vulcan and its a great anticheat! I was wondering if you could potentially make it where wind charges don't kick the player out for speed related hacks. I'm sure you are aware of this problem but I love everything else!

Awesome anti-cheat, there are a lot of add-ons to make it even better and it works flawlessly all the time I would 100% recommend this for SMPS and that type of server

The only thing I would say is that since they removed the GUI is kind of annoying to set up the checks since you need to go through 4k+ lines in the config file. Maybe instead of adding a GUI, they should add a website kinda like Luck Perms but that's just a suggestion

not worth money, just use grim (much better&free) and dev is not a funny person like that guy who make this

The anti-cheat system works flawlessly and has greatly enhanced the overall gaming experience. Since its implementation, there's been a noticeable decrease in cheating incidents. The system integrates smoothly with the game, running unobtrusively in the background without causing any lag or performance issues.

I've been using Vulcan for a while now, and I must say, it keeps getting better with each update. The developers are consistently adding more functionality, which is great to see. However, I've also been using an external anti-cheat alongside Vulcan, such as GrimAC, because occasionally, Vulcan misses some cheats. Despite this, Vulcan remains a solid anti-cheat solution. Keep up the excellent work!

There is no support for Folia and any questions asking about support for it are disregarded.

Would recommend, it's so good for larger networks with moderators because of how it shows messages, would recommend 10/10

The plugin is great and all. But can you please add Anti HandNoClip? Alot Hackers are using it. They can hit players through blocks & especially through cobweb and it's really annoying since my server is a boxpvp server.
Please add it!

Too many ByPass (overkill). The only checks that really work do not automatically sanction.

The response has been to "sanction it", when I have consulted about the possibility of activating these checks, as if I were not buying an AC to cover my staff when no one can be there.

Decent anticheat for anyone looking for something cheap
much better than its competitors on this site such as Spartan (where the dev cant even take a bad review without crying)

has its flaws but it will get the job done

Nothing has changed since the day I bought it, it just gets better and better and better.

Frap takes this job really seriously.
If something goes wrong or is gonna go wrong, Frap is the one who says it.
This, we can not see a lot in this community.

A Rare plugin from a Rare Author.

I just got vulcan and i love it already, and yes i know about the issue with the gui and the exploit recently but i also think it would be worth it to try to fix it because it would make it alot easier and faster to change settings, but everything else works perfectly!

Awesome plugin but can you support mmocore and mmoitems? It causes some false flag on it :>

Very good plugin, yeah updates can be slow but its worth it. Keep up the good work.

If you are looking for quick updates, support on discord and future proof support for upcoming minecraft versions then vulcan is not the plugin for you. Its been almost a month since the dev said he will update the plugin, he first gave lame excuses on discord and then decided that even that was too much effort and we have radio silence since then. Out of almost 100 different plugins across my network, vulcan is the only plugin I am using that's not updated yet.

very good anticheat but we need more updates for bypasses please :)
its definitely better than spartanac :D

The greatest anti-cheat on the market. I have purchased others and will always use Vulcan. Save your server from hackers by using Vulcan. A small price to pay for an amazing security for your server!!

Awesome plugin. Haven't had anyone bypass it yet. We do get a few false positives like Timer(D) and no luck found with testing or contacting support. It was suspected it was due to a plugin so we simply disabled Timer(D) detection. Otherwise amazing and was so worth the price.

We are waiting for a 1.20.6 update. If there is a place to do beta testing for the anticheat, we would have to contribute

1.20.6?... i been dying for it..
if set right, can work perfectly with spartan, spartans better at client side cheats, but vulcan finds cheats in general really really easy
i hope they plan on updating soon

Thats the first AntiCheat I've found that correctly considers attributes upon checks. Awesome <3

I already experienced using this plugin on my friend's server, It worked perfectly fine so I bought it. It's very good I recommend buying it because trust me, I 've tested dozens of free anti-cheats but none of them did the job right. Vulcan Anti-Cheat is a to go plugin when we're talking about anti-cheats

the plugin dont´s work for 1.8.8 and when I requested support on Discord they refused to solve the problem and give the refund, do not buy it

bought it yesterday, 10 cheaters already banned, best anticheat ever, every check is very good and working, if you need an anticheat, buy this one its very worth, it, thanks

Vulcan is very good, my server is safe, support very good ans fast

keenly vulcan 3.0

Very good anti-cheat. Everything about it is customizable and it discourages/helps us catch cheating players :)

To find the number of days until release, Consider the orbital period of Earth around the Sun, measured in the standard unit of time defined by the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the cesium-133 atom. Now, find the integer closest to the quotient obtained when this period is divided by the total number of such standard time units in a solar day. This integer represents the temporal quantifier for the fulfillment of the task at hand.

Vulcan 3.0 is real

But in all seriousness, very good anticheat 8/10, would recommend buying

support is good. Had an issue with itemadder and was helped instantly. thank you!

love it, always have always will. Best anticheat, catches many hackers. For some reaseon i get loads of fly hackers???? it works well againt them so thanks frep

Good cheat detection. I recommend it. Modular configuration that is very practical and adapts to all servers.

I like your this plug-in very much. I have been using the plug-in for more than a year. Recently,I want to transfer this plug-in to China minebbs forum,and indicate the source URL of the plug-in so that more people know about this plug-in.I wonder if you'd like to？

Good plugin, excellent at detecting cheaters. There is good support on discord. Thanks)

Friendly and good support, even for third party related things. Very nice for newer versions, the best anticheat for lastest version.

Very good, i like! I wait for 3.0. 80 character 1234567891011121314151617181920a

Great Cheat Detection Plugin! Works great and developer has fast responsive support via Discord. Have done a bunch of testing with Vanilla and Hacked Clients and it does the job well without interfering with Vanilla Clients.

I've been using this plugin since I got it, and so far, it's been a great experience – way better anti-cheat than the one I shall not name. But yeah, thank you for the continuous updates. Can't wait for Vulcan 3.0!

This is for someone who made the server, everything is done and now he wonders what AntiCheat to get. If you are that person READ:

Well I was at the same place as you are RN 2-3 years ago and I bought ALL of them, but I mean ALLL OF THEM xD

The answer is simple:
Vulcan = the best and the most advanced AC that you can buy and have a license forever, everything else = bullshit.
Whatever you do, don't buy shit like Spartan, you will find 12123921 bypasses and when you contact its developer he will tell you "Well spartan learns, you need to give it time bla bla bla" - he's an idiot, it learns shit, its dumb bro.

Another thing that will confuse you is STUPID FAKE ranking on spigot forums and random sites on the internet.
They know that EVERY SINGLE SERVER OWNER will 1 one time NEED to google "What the F is the best Minecraft AnitCheat" and then some random site will give like top 5 MC AC-s on the market and they will manipulate you that shit AntiCheats like for example Spartan is the best so you throw your money on them.

Dear friend, please, for the love of God, don't waste your money on these scammers. Thank you - You are welcome :)

So here is what to do:
1) You just started an MC server and you do not have a huge profit
- Buy Vulcan
- Set its config how you want, I personally have auto-ban for all combat detections. I only left movement to auto-kick kick and that's it.

2) You have a HUGEEE network:
- Get yourself AC that has a monthly subscription. I can't say its name because I will be muted for promoting but when you get to this point you will know its name.
- Even here you could live with Vulcan, depending on whether your network is for cracked or only for premium players.

Have a good day!

We were having a smorgasbord of issues with spartan and decided it was time to switch. Vulcan had a couple issues within the first like 5 minutes but the excellent support got me sorted out. Once we got it working the plugin IMMEDIATELY detected 2 hackers who had gone undetected for months under spartan - both confessed to the hacks they were accused of by the system.

Excellent plugin, uses less system resources then other plugins I've tried, would recommend.

There are just way to many bypasses for this anticheat, there are even free anticheats that are better than it.

I would like there to be compatibility with mmcore spartan is compatible with mmcore and I would like it to also be compatible with vulacn

https://gitlab.com/phoenix-dvpmt/mmocore/-/wikis/Anti-Cheat-Support

One of the best, actually the best anticheat thats available! I mean surely there are other options available but vulcan is really the best anticheat for those with a low budget. Tbh I had only 50$ in my bank and I couldn't stop myself from buying the plugin because of how good vulcan's reputation is and also I couldn't continue using free anticheats anymore. Lol anyways its great and the price is extremely affordable.

The best anti-cheat I've used! 5/5. This plugin is required for every Minecraft server.

this plugin sent my server to the depths of hell. how do you manage to incorporate a force op backdoor in an anti-cheat?

Fixed my issue. Thanks for being a decent person and providing support for it. Please, keep an eye on other backdoors that might already exist, or that might arise in the future

god knows what would have happened to my server if I wasnt quick enough to act. please, be more careful

For anyone update to v2.8.5 but the exploit still exist ! Because the exploit is modify config.yml file so if you only just drag and drop new .jar file the config.yml have exploit still these ! You need to find which "punishment-commands" is exploit or just re-create config.yml for 100% safe

I have had the same problem. There is a backdoor in this plugin that is allowing players to op themselves. Even after updating to 2.8.5. There is still a problem with the GUI vulnerability

what a shi**y plugin & dev, please dont buy it - no updates (only when u can get op without any permissions xD)

You quickly resolved the GUI vulnerability, it was a really problematic situation, thank you for your quick intervention.

Literally broke my whole server network because of new vulnerability, no announcement

I have been using many other anti cheats and to be honest Vulcan is really a great anti cheat, it has no false flags at all and it's doing really good so far.

I've mentioned it before, and I'll say it again – Vulcan stands out as one of the best anticheat solutions for Java currently available.

If you wanna avoid the headaches and broken promises of Spartans rigged reviews, or what some call the 'Spartan experience', go for Vulcan all day.

The only notable missing feature is Bedrock cheat detection, which may be added in the future. Despite this, still rather run Vulcan for Java and Themis in Bedrock only mode, than Spartan, trust me, many other players and I know why we recommend it that way! :)

I've been using this Anti-Cheat for a good few months now and can definitely say it's a total breath of fresh air coming from Spartan. 2+ months and quite literally no issues thus far. False-positives are minimal, and after just a week of tuning, we've had no issues for months.

The entire anti-cheat is fully customizable and gives you total control over every setting imaginable, something not available in it's competitor. When problems arise, tuning is straight forward and in-depth on every single one of their checks.

When it comes to support, it is top notch. Their ticket system via Discord is fast, easy and reliable. It's barely needed however as everything simply works.

If you're not using Vulcan, you definitely need to give it a shot, regardless of how big or small your server is. The fact I forgot I was even running Vulcan for a few weeks speaks to how flawlessly it works. I watch things like a hawk across the servers I run and manage, and unlike Spartan, which gave me issues sometimes daily for years, this is just night and day!

Amazing Anti-Cheat Frap, keep up the awesome work!

The only anticheat plugin that i have found on spigotmc that has a reasonable price and also reliable checks while having almost no false positives but also blocking most of cheats/hacks.
Additionally, the impact for server performance is close to none as i had no performance issue with 200+ players on my server.

And the support was one of the best from plugins i have bought. If you have any questions about it, you would likely get a response almost instantly if any staff are online.

I would definitely recommend this plugin to anyone finding for a decent anticheat.

Thanks :)

Vulcan is truly the best anticheat ive used my server is for 1.17.1 and above and with the right configure ration nothing bypassed vulcan i can only recommend doing a one time payment and getting vulcan for yourself!

Love it <3 phenomenal protection, Top-notch effectiveness, highly recommend with confidence!

In my opinion, this AntiCheat is not the perfect one, but a good one. I've got some false positives, but I quickly removed them. There's one problem, that if people have a config for the AntiCheat, they can easily bypass all of the things, that the AntiCheat should block. Honestly I'd recommend having this AntiCheat and maybe a second one if you want to be safe from hackers, other than that, I've experienced no problems with the plugin. Easy to manage and editable.

This guy's profile is epic fr

Had really bad experiences with other anticheats, i think its still require developement here but definitely one of best anticheats currently
Great work, keep it up!

Good and easy to use anticheat to stop clueless hackers, but the cheater knows what hes doing or tested the anticheat on the dozens of available vulcan test server then the anticheat stands no chance since there are well known bypasses for pretty much every check (Scaffold, killaura, speed, tower...)

at the beginning I thought it was something super good, then it started to get worse and worse, but now I'm like, they're improving, doing their job, and then this whole process is growing more and more in the right direction, so good luck with it, guys, it's going to be even better, I hope I'm not disappointed

Frap has been simply outstanding. He has just recently added support and features for us. He has improved attribute handling, and it has been running great so far. Their discord support team (shoutout yeet) is much better than other anti-cheats out there (I won't go into details here, but those who know, know). At this point, Vulcan is the only anti-cheat we are able to use because all the ones I have tried so far always have an issue preventing us from using them.

Vulcan Anti Cheat you are worth buying his detection is really excellent very much more stable than Spartan Matrix you can get a lot of stability in your experience

One of the BEST anticheat plugins available.
Passes almost every test I've thrown at it. If it flags anything that you thing shouldn't be flagged, you can just switch it off, super simple and easy to use.

The devs behind this plugin are incredible <3

Catching all them dirty cheaters! No more cheaters in my server :)
It's been working great, and honestly have no complaints.

I'm thrilled with the performance of this plugin! It stands out as the best and most up-to-date solution available. The code is impressively streamlined, avoiding unnecessary extras while delivering essential features. After extensive testing on my server, not a single false positive was detected. When confronted with a hacked "undetectable" client, it swiftly and decisively took action. Exceptional work – a definite must-have for any expansive server network.

It cannot detect most of the cheats, players such as wurst and doomsday constantly use these cheats, we would not be able to find them at all if there was no video.

Vulcan from a whole 'nother world tbh different dimension
Get it now before it is running out.

Best AC so far no issues, even comes with freeze option and alerts if a player joins with optifine, forge, fabric or vanilla clients

Vulcan is amazing! The support is top tier and I almost never have false flags. Im able to ban any exploiters and its super easy to configure.

10/10 Stars!

The only anticheat plugin that i have found on spigotmc that has a reasonable price and also reliable checks with almost no false positives while blocking most of cheats/hacks.
Also, the impact for server performance is close to none as i had no performance issue with 100+ players on my server.

And additionally the support was one of the best from plugins i have bought. If you have any questions about it, you would likely get a response almost instantly if any staff are online.

I would definitely recommend this product to anyone finding for a decent anticheat, and have already invited 2 people to this awesome plugin.

Thanks :)

New customer, and it really was just a drag and drop thing. Struggle to find any flaw in it, at most a 5 minute browse of the config for most users to setup.

Been a few years now since I started using this product; once configured properly, it has been excellent at detecting the majority of cheats and cheat clients (fair warning: you will need to go through the configs to get it to behave the way you need it to behave). False positive rates are extremely low, the plugin has never once caused any performance issues on the server, and I've always gotten great support from frap and his devs when I've needed it (they even implemented a fix that I had suggested for an issue I ran into once since we couldn't find the root cause). 10/10 recommended for anyone looking for a reliable and robust anticheat for both small and large servers (or anything in between). Thanks for the great product frap, this plugin was well worth the purchase!

I would just like to thank you Frap for creating Vulcan! It has been an amazing experience, and truly is the only [Premium] Anti-Cheat measure that has worked for my server without causing lag/performance issues. I can't wait to see what else you do with Vulcan and how it improves in the future.

Long time we were switching anticheat plugins every month or so because of how easy they are to bypass or have large impact to server performance. We're using Vulcan for over a year now - that says a lot :) Thanks, frap!

So many bypass and man false indication please fix it and don't be lazy
bypassed client: envy, rise, inertia, fdp and etc...
FIX PLEASE

Great plugin, never had a problem using it (2 years)! The support is very fast and super helpful too. Highly recommended!

just okay all around not great at a specific thing but handles job well at a lot of things good for general purpose any server anticheat. Though combine with ncp or grim to get some good solid prevention

Was an impulse purchase I made, but wasn't one that I regret making. Fully and easily configurable and very reliable anticheat.

it works pretty well. its has caught most everyone that i have had a issue with. and everyone thinks there slick and i won't catch them.

Excellent plugin with excellent support!

Easily worth double what these guys are charging for it, especially so when you consider that their support is actually amazing!

Wanted to Use the Plugin for a while before reviewing. I have to say Vulcan is very user friendly and support is awesome. I am glad i switched

just wanted to say, vulcan is worth every penny, thank you for making this wonderful plugin, players hate it XD

Vulcan is by far the best Anti Cheat for Java servers. I have tried most (not naming to prevent drama) just came back to Vulcan again and their support was excellent, I use TCPShield -> Velocity -> Back end servers, Dev. was quick to tell me what checks to tweak (only 4!) for this setup, tried and very happy, no issues or fake detections. Don't be fooled by finding this to be the 2nd ranked anti cheat, I used myself the 1st ranked one and got disappointed by it's dev. bad practices and ongoing drama over the years.

The Best Anticheat I use Dectect Player Cheating Vulcan is So Good Its not worth

世上最好的反作弊，强大的支持团队，不容许任何的错误!!!在我的服务器上工作的很好，我很爱支持团队捏，请不要在评论区打上差评，有任何问题请寻找支持团队，他们会“很好”的答复你捏

Nice cheat protection for PVP. But this protection does not detect cheats such as fly with elytra. I've said this before, but it's not fixed.

By far the best anticheat out there. I havent ever had a false flag that caused a player to be unfairly punished. Vulcan is amazing. Def worth the price.

We are happy with it, and the support team is decent, not that I had to use it much, because errors are usually fixed fairly quickly

What can I say, one of the few anticheats that are completely worth it, plus their support is really fast and they solve any doubt, no matter how small it may be.

The wait for Vulcan V3 will be completely worth it.

Works excellent. Detected every hacker that I have ever had. 0 false positives so far. Makes me happy.

Easily the best Anti Cheat on SpigotMC.
By Far the best for its price point.

With fast and quick support. Along with a surprisingly un-toxic community (which is pretty hard to come about), I have been surprised time and time again with Vulcan.

Any false(s) or bypasses reported were fixed and communicated with me well.

When I was having issues with Vulcan due to 3rd party plugins, they let me know what it could possibly be, and the safest way to go about it.

There are also rumours of Vulcan V3 having bedrock support!!!

I cannot wait, I highly suggest you check out this plugin.

Best Anticheat in this price range in my opinion, I don't have any problems with false checks or else.

anti-cheat is good, but it is quite easy to get around it, it does not detect flying on tridents and elytra with the help of a cheat client.

Very good anticheat for 1.19.4, i have boxpvp and im really happy. Ona think that i dont like is after new version i have to re install config and rewrite it. bruh. And there should be layouts of check appearances. Add phase check and clip down and better vclip and itll be better anticheat, almost the best.(for 1.19.4) ofc.

If Vulcan doesn't detect Aim Assist, 3.05 reach. 1% speed modification, that is because Vulcan doesn't claim to detect it. Also, some clients will display a reach of 4, when it is actually a reach of 3.1.

Mostly people who report false flags are issues with their own server setup, so you can check for plugin that could be causing false flags in your setup. There are a few incompatibilities listed in the plugin description (SWM, clients like Lunar etc) and in the case that there a false flag, you can report to the staff.

Hence, you should clearly read the plugin description, and also communicate with the staff on discord, who can help you solve your issues. Overall, good anticheat, and can't complain anything for the price.

Amazing anticheat, it works great on my server. i really think the hate is false

Anticheat is bad according to my testing, there are repetitive positive reviews from the same people and thus the overall rating does not correspond to reality. Frap reacts unfriendly. I recommend Frap to focus more on improving and less on responding to reviews.

One of the best anticheats that i ever saw!

Since I bought and started using it, vulcan eliminated almost all hackers from my server!
Thank you frap for making this excellent anticheat and please do not discontinue it!

Vulcan has let me down. I purchased it and did extensive testing only to find plenty of claimed hacks to go undetected, first movement and then combat, the rest I would not care that much even if it did or didn't.

I waited for an update, but that seems to not have fixed it. Yes, I know there's Discord support, but quite frankly there's concerns that prevent me from going there such:
* The author, frap, is being passive aggressive or even rude/impolite to reviewers who put 3 stars or less, saying things like "I bet you 100$" or "do you really have nothing better to do". And yes, I get it that some reviews are stupid, aka make little to no sense.
* I can see certain members in the reviews all the time, I guess team members or loyal buyers often leave positive reviews, which itself is not bad, but it has inflated a positive opinion that's unrealistic, about 60% of reviews here are unique, the rest are repetitive. I hope this platform does not count all of them, because this is either strategic or there's a lot of narcissism involved.

Anyway, take this with a grain of salt, the other parts of the plugin worked properly.

Hello Vulcan developer, I want to express my gratitude for creating such a great product. From the setup to the installation, everything has been smooth and impressive. Almost all settings can be customized, and the instructions are clear and user-friendly.

Here are my suggestions:

Add translation settings for the Vulcan menu and Discord logs.
Implement support for saving logs not only in files but also in a database. MySQL would be especially useful.

Excellent anticheat.

Author cares no matter you are old or new customer. Since the day i bought, Frap and his team is same persons.
Most importantly Frap stand for what he done. If he has faults or deficiency he accepts it. (no ego)

Especially if you know how to setup vulcan config it'll be good enough to handle the server on its own.
You can customize everything literally everything.

Best payment when its come to anticheat.

The guy below me is right. This anticheat doesn't work well.
Use the much better anticheat and buy a snack instead of Vulcan.

the plugin has a lot of false reports and it's very easy to bypass in general a cheater on wurst will be blocked it but if someone has configs and better cheats they can do whatever they want so generally I don't recommend buying this plugin there are a lot of better ones on the market

Vulcan is decent AntiCheat, fair price. A big advantage of Vulcan is that it does not require any additional libraries like ProtocolLib. 4/5 stars for many false positivies on:
- Reach (A)
- Velocity (D)
- Fast Place (A)
- Bad Packets (6)
- Bad Packets (7)

This (probably) is the anticheat for you.

This plugin is an amazing "Jack of all trades", and should be your goto for pretty much any server type or project.

Sure you can get better with anticheats that are ≈€100 (or even more in some cases), but for any other price range, this plugin is the only option that actually makes sense.

Very good anticheat, best bang for the buck. Very nice community support. Great and dev-friendly API.

Have been a customer for nearly two years and I can say that I'm pretty much satisfied. Expect this plugin not to block every possible cheats and exploits, but it should be good enough to block the majority of them.

If you manage to find a bypass, report it and you're good to go. Keeps your Vulcan always be up-to-date and know how to properly setup your server, and you shouldn't be worried!

We never had problem with this plugin and hackers always were frustrated because they got kicked by Vulcan.
Absolutely hilarious watching them ^^

Great anticheat for your server and is very customizable with detections & punishments!

This AntiCheat is very good. Yes, sometimes there are some false flags but it is normal in every anticheat. But many checks work very well and I can recommend this AntiCheat. Good Job and I hope you will work on this AC.

I've been using Vulcan for months and it was about the 3rd or 4th AntiCheat my server has used, and it has worked nearly perfect. I have had a couple problems with false positives, but I created a ticket and support responds within 5 minutes to fix your problem. Extremely helpful, and along with all of this, the Discord webhook feature is just the cherry on top, being able to see blatant cheaters and deal with them from your phone is just a godsend.

100% Recommend this plugin and if anyone is scrolling through here to see if it's worth it or if you should keep looking at options, you should definitely use Vulcan.

Best $20 I've ever spent (Minecraft-Wise) :)

Best AntiCheat I've ever used,
Support is uncanny & the community within the support server is accepting.

False positives are basically none.
And unlike every other packet-based anti-cheat Vulcan is smart enough to understand how the TCP stack works, which means ping doesn't affect 99% of checks

I would 100% recommend over any free or premium anti-cheats.

add support for geysermc, That's just missing, good anticheat plugin I recommend it

one of the best anticheats, it's really simple to configure and yet it's so advanced. detects pretty much all cheats from popular free clients very quickly. it might false in some rare cases, but it isn't much of a deal, usually it almost never falses. i noticed that pvp checks work especially well, so pretty good for a pvp server. there's no other better anticheat for that price.

Simply good anti cheat, easy to configure and use. Been using Vulcan for few years now, simply it is the best anticheat and simplest plugin I've ever used. It takes almost no time to configure it, it would take longer to wait for coffee at Starbucks than to configure Vulcan.

Im used all premium anti cheat before, all I can say is the best anti cheat plugin you can use. I've been using this plugin since its first release and I've had no problems.

Vulcan is needed to run a minecraft server as much as you need java. (Especially if you have a pvp based server.)

I bought Vulcan for my 1.8.8 server. I used Vulcan for about 5-6 months.
In my 5-6 months of use I have experienced a maximum of 5 false positives.

One of the best things about having the Vulcan plugin is the support team that always responds to you in the fastest and most importantly correct way.
In my experience, vulcan provides the maximum protection by requiring the minimum performance.

Especially killing aura, auto-clicking, reach, bad packets and a few more checks work exceptionally well. And even better the chance of false positives for more than one check is really "0". This is really good this way you can instantly detect and punish cheaters.

Sometimes people can talk shit about frap, thats ahhh thats okay. There is a simple explanation for that is frap is honest like painfully honest. When they talk shit about him they forget that they got the most accurate answer possible without waiting 12544126544165 hours. (All of what I said applies to his team)

Also his team looks a lot like him.
It is very difficult to get real information about the checks from here.
Because too many servers are using vulcan and they are corrupting it, maybe willingly or unintentionally.

If you are really good at managing or setting up a minecraft server, vulcan can give you good protection. If you are not there is a good chance that you broke Vulcan therefore you see bypasses a lot.
This doesnt mean its hard to use vulcan just dont do things that you dont know what will be the consequences.

Vulcan is a plugin with real updates. What does this mean? When Vulcan releases a new update u r usually unlikely to run into an issue.
Which you cant see this usually when it comes anticheat.

No anticheat can provide 100% protection you should realize this first.
- There is a bypass for vulcan?
- Yes or maybe. (if i say anything certain i have to prove it like im 2 tired for it ^^)
- Is there a team or developer for fixing bypasses?
- For sure.

^^ Dont you worry, use Vulcan ^^

Note: This review is based on the performance in 1.8.9 and does not stand for the performance in modern versions.

Vulcan is an average anti-cheat overall.

TLDR: the anti-cheat has great combat checks but lacks movement checks and scaffold checks. Some NCP bypass will work on this anti-cheat. It is great protection for free clients but does not offer great detection for paid clients or clients that allows you to customize modules. I would NOT recommend this Anticheat for a 1.8-focused PVP server.
Note: NCP bypass can differ from clients

I recommend you search up Vulcan on google before you purchase


I bought Vulcan around version 2.2

Why you should buy Vulcan:
Combat Checks:
- The rotation checks are done very well; I was not able to find any public client with a killing aura that does not flag at all. However, properly configured kill aura will only occasionally flag, so unless your ban vl is small, it will not auto-ban before the flags are reset.
- The rotation checks flag ghost clients pretty well.

What you should consider before buying:
Combat Checks:
- The only protection against an autoblock in 1.8 is a packet order check, easily bypassed by paid clients.
- As of now, this anti-cheat has a full working keep sprint disabler

Movement Checks:
- Vulcan's movement check can be easily bypassed.
- Speed can go up easily to 7.5 BPS by abusing the fall tick and fast fall.
- There has been a working fly bypass by abusing ghost block lagbacks before; it still works half of the time as of now

Scaffold Checks:
- Vulcan's scaffold detection is nothing more than NCP with a few more rotation checks.
- Scaffold can go up to 6 BPS; any scaffold rotation that does not swing your head around should bypass. Scaffold K can be bypassed by sneaking every five blocks. Note that the sprint check is disabled by the disabled.
- The tower check is easily bypassed.

Look at how many hackers that 1.8.9 Vulcan server has.
- Look at how many hackers hycraft has when they use Vulcan Anticheat

You might have argued that Hycraft configs Vulcan improperly, but most of these bypass works on the default Vulcan config.

The Developer likes to reject a bypass report using a variety of reasons.

I would be very happy to change this review if the issue I addressed is fixed.

Great plugin!
If configure the config correctly, the anticheat will more or less function well.
The big downside of the plugin: it kicks many players off the server for "You are sending too many packets!", this is a ViaVersion alert, to remove it, you need to remove the limits "max-pps: -1" and "tracking-max-warnings: -1". It's not hard to do, but I'd like to ask the author to work on optimizations with other plugins.
Good luck in developing the plugin, don't give it up <3

This is probably the best anticheat out there, it has discord webhook and bot integration for alerting you incase of someone cheating and also gives a description of why the player is cheating instead of like generic "flying" it tells you like ground spoof and server names in the embed so you can actually know which server it was in which is super useful for bungeecord and the bungeecord plugin to sync detections which is soooo useful, i don't think I'll ever find a better anticheat, if you have the money, please buy it, its amazing.

The best anticheat you could get for the price range, has good checks, and good settings to allow schematic for faction server and such, would highly recommend!

This plugin is seriously amazing. It's exactly what I was looking for in an anti-cheat. It can detect pretty much any hack from all the popular hacking clients. And there are almost no false positives.

Very good anti-cheat, thank you for protecting my server, it would be nice if could update a little faster XD

Best anticheat I've had so far, and I don't have to buy a "custom config" from some discord virgin. Thank you for keeping this badass, cheers!

Best anti-cheat out there. Filled with so many features and checks. Would 100% reccomend

Simply the best anti-cheat. Has good detection for MANY different hacks and is light weight. A+ plugin

Pretty much the only anticheat plugin that just works for modern mc versions, and quite good for legacy mc versions as well.

Support is fantastic too, 6/5 stars, way above average!

The only way you could improve this would be to make it free!

Best anti-cheat for my server. Lots of configuration options, I highly recommend it to anyone who is thinking about buying :)

This is the best Anti cheat that I have bought. Works much better than anything else that I have ever used. Highly recommended!

best anti cheat in the market you can find, using it since 1 year now and works flawlessly!

I absolutely love this AC, it's defeated numerous amounts of hackers on my server and I could not have done it without Vulcan. However, I would absolutely love to see this as a Fabric Mod if by any means possible as I and many on my server are very Technical and want to do amazing things, but unfortunately Paper/Spigot removes many Vanilla-like functions. There unfortunately isn't a suitable anticheat that compares or works better than Vulcan, so until then, Fabric must wait.

Great AC!

Honestly not worth it's money. Even as anticheat Themis (a free one) does it's job better. Yeah it might not have all those fancy but yet useless discord hooks but it does block such movements as noslow. Seen a lot of players easily bypassing Vulcan if it's in working in solo.
IDK. Maybe I don't know how to configure it ? Lmao.
When you report a bypass there's basically no reaction from devs. I get you can be burned out or just busy with other things but then make plugin free or just tell that you don't have support for it.

It's a very nice plugin, but it needs improvement in some areas.
/ Çok güzel bir plugin ama bazı konularda gelişmesi gerekiyor.

Works flawlessly.
Probably the best public anticheat out there!
Appreciate your work frap. thanks.

Super great anti cheat destroy those people who hacking in my server. The default config is already good enough nothing else. I don't know why some people can "sElL VuLcaN cOnFIg" LOL

I remember back in the day where AAC was the go-to solution for anti-cheats and then Vulcan joined the chat. Definitely one of the hardest competitors out there, and to be honest I did not expect it to nearly get this far, but it did. Props to you Frappy.

Best Anticheat I know. Great default config, at least for my server. A lot of config-editing freestyle. It sure fits it's price for the quality u get from it. Also the discord support was very fast, didn't even open a ticket, the help was instantly there. Great stuff!

super dope plugin, the only any-cheat plugin you will ever need. super great support. A+++++++++++++++++ 5/5/5/5/5/5

Best anti-cheat ever made in my opinion, personally i would like some more added to it with like bans and like other things to be detected but its so hard to figure out between auto totem and fast toteming for example, otherwise best anticheat

10/10 anticheat! Been using it since 2020 and have had very little issues and any issues that I've actually had, I believe were just me not wanting to configure it.

Also, for those wondering, it *does* support Bedrock. The review below me says it doesn't, but it does. You just need floodgate installed. (Which is a bit of a pain for me due to my server's style, but I digress.)

:)

This anti-cheat is amazing! Been able to keep all hackers off my server. The only down side is that 1 - it doesn't flag those on bedrock (geyser server) and 2 - there are some false flags that I had to disable. Other than that, its a great plugin!

It's so fun that some guys literally didn't try to get support but leave bad review.
But the support is probably one of the fastest on the spigotmc.
Keep up great work please!

Hey you, if you see any bad reviews there most likely some guy that has no brain and cant join a discord server for support or there just trying to mess with the reputation of this amazing anti cheat! This plugin should be a essential for all servers!

Does anyone remember "Wurst" ? Great cheat client.
Vulcan protect from it, and that is why I use it.

Byfar the best anticheat on the market. The phrase that comes to mind when I try to describe it is "It just works". This is not only the easiest anticheat to setup and manage, but it also seems to have the least issues.

For anyone who is going to complain about my review, yes, I am a volunteer admin for the Vulcan discord, but I do not benefit if someone buys Vulcan. I am not paid by either spigot or Frap, and I do actively use Vulcan on my server.

Best anticheat in the market

Is more effective than matrix or other anticheats i really recommend to buy it

El mejor anticheat del mercado

Mucho mejor que otros anticheats como Matrix, de verdad recomiendo que compren este anticheat es el mejor sin duda

Hello there goes my second review about this anticheat
This anticheat is crap. Period. And his dev even more crapper

Il miglior plugins anticheat attualmente!!!! consiglio vivamente a tutti questo plugins! DeV OP!

A quality plugin without a doubt the best anticheat currently I hope many more improvements and updates more often that I see very weak but very quality that delay.

I don't understand, everything was great until the lastest version of vulcan, i just run normally and it kicked me because of speed hack

Vulcan is just an anticheat that does what it has to do and if on top of that the support is instant, I don't see any consequences.
Keep up the good work :wink: :wink:

there are better ones, I would not recommend it but yes it is definitely not to be thrown away

Looks like I'll have to switch anti cheats, Vulcan was a great one until the newer version (1.19). Many false flags on my Prison realm and I tried making a ticket for support and reporting the issue but Sergio_02 has extensive vertification issues. Some users might not use PayPal as well, so if you want support be sure to verify right away.

It is a plugin that I use in general, it is very useful and satisfying. Let it be the only plugin you prefer for anti cheat.

Nice :D .

All around a great anticheat; As with any plugin, use your brain and you'll have no issues with it. And in the event that you do, their support is nearly instant (at least for me it was)

10/10 keep up the good work :)

ver: 2.6.9 (paperspigot 1.16, 1.17 1.18) does not block cheat :) but the lower versions block and no problem.

Any 1-star ratings are from the same type of people that think you put plugins in the main server folder. It doesn't magically just not work for only you. There are thousands of people who don't have any of these problems.

TLDR:
Just like Amazon reviews don't focus on the few negative reviews but instead focus on the bigger picture. Great plugin by default and even better with your own due diligence!

Their support is terrible, and treat bad a custommer, not recommended. big ego dev
proof:

First impression of this is really good! Works well with some plugins i was concerned about. PetDragonPro is compatible with this anti-cheat. reading through the comments it seems like im in good hands with the support the anticheat offers

Appreciate your work frap. thanks.

I have been using vulcan for 1 year and it has been one of the best if not the best anti cheat plugin you can buy. It may be up there for the price but I can rest assure knowing I dont have any mods for my server that vulcan anti cheat can make your server way more secure and prevent hack clients. Thank you for everything.

"This client cannot bypass, anything else?". Not 1 star because overall support is decent.

Vulcan is a cool anti cheat. It's better than Spa##an for sure
1. accuracy 2. optimization 3. strong

Vulcan is the best anti-cheat out, in the past, I've used anti cheats such as Spartan and they would error or would false flag. I own a Prison/Skyblock server and it's been doing the job. And they also have VulcanBungee which is also super helpful for a bungeecord server.

Vulcan is a decent anti cheat for 1.13+ servers:

+ It is pretty good at detecting all kinds of exploits/cheats
+ Vulcan has a ton of configurable stuff
+ There were no "real" (e.g. Fly, Speed) bypasses found and the number of false positives is pretty low

Why only 4 stars? Vulcan has a pretty bad lag handling compared to other anti cheats in this price category. "Laggy" players are sometimes flagging Timer, Fast Place or checks that do not use samples e.g. checks that just check for packet delays (reported but denied because the players in the screenshots were using non-vanilla clients such as forge or fabric).

- I would not recommend Vulcan for 1.7-1.8 PvP servers

Conclusion:
If you are running a 1.13-1.19.x server, this plugin is going to be a good option. There are little to no other good alternatives in this price range that support Minecraft 1.13-1.19.x so good as Vulcan does.

This anti-cheat is the best! ! It detects and punishes fraudsters with very few false positives! Thanks to the developer.

Vulcan is an interesting anti-cheat to say the least.

It blocks most public clients but making custom bypasses isn't really that hard.
On the other hand, falses haven't been that big of an issue for me at least.
Also, support is pretty fast. I've usually gotten a response in minutes.

All in all, I wouldn't really recommend it because of the bypasses, but I've definitely seen far worse.

great anti-cheat and support team I have never seen a plugin use webhooks before

Vulcan is a good anticheat, I would recommend anybody to buy it, but ThotPatrol is a cooler anticheat name ngl

blacklisted our staff from discord for no reason.
1.they said not accepting false positives if u use forge in discord, but we were never told in overview page.
2.will cause server freeze if restart happened multiple times, our staff was blacklisted before get a reply, even if we submitted jvm output and itclearly shows it's vulcan
3.easily bypassable if use pingspoof-disabler, one bhopper bhopped for 2min, vulcan only flagged timer twice, their staff still refuse to admit its a bypass.
4.if ur the first one who find a issue, congratulations, because they willalways saying its ur server's fault not theirs.
anyways, dont buy it, their customer services as well as plugins are shit

Great anti cheat Plugin. The seconds I installed this I was able to catch many cheaters. If you are looking for a anti cheat then this is the one of the best options.

Ive left a review before but ill leave another, Vulcan is perfect for mini game servers, I run a skywars server and Vulcan banned 14 people in a few hours. The only thing that could use work is some of the aim assist checks falsing (but that's rlly rare)

I must say this plugin is the best!
I've been using Spartan, and it wasn't stopping any kind of hacks (I've tested by myself with a cheat client that typically can be used inside every server I find).
It was annoying me, so I brought Vulcan.

Also, an extra thing to say, it is I use EcoEnchants and Executableitems with more non-vanilla movements than you could imagine.

Vulcan is working 100%, without problems. Haven't got one, and when Vulcan detects something, it's not because of my plugins I mentioned, it's because they use a cheat client, typically "Fabric". It alerts you whenever someone cheat. and it's easy to turn off if you don't want it enabled.

Spartan VS Vulcan.
I must say, vulcan. It's simple, all of the commands is simple to use and it's also included with a GUI, but you don't even need to use it because of the commands, they are easy to use and show so much information about players.

6/5 is my rating.
Easy to use.
Easy config
Easy to understand than Spartan
Got small "check" hacks commands
Can be used with plugins that change some of the vanilla stuff

Great work.

Vulcan is the BEST anti-cheat on the site by far.
You can fully configurate all the checks, punishments and alerts.

The plugin stopped being good due to the immense amount of false positives and bugs when updating, like having to delete or redo the configuration every update, support on discord is terribly rude.
There are free and better options in detecting common moves and their pvp check is easily bypassed with hacks/paid clients or by some user with minimal knowledge of anti-cheat.

Best product for anticheat in the Minecraft world. Amazingly accurate program and updates ARE fast given the immense amount of work required to sort out every bug/hack that is introduced at each update of the game. Keep up the good work and our server will definitely be using this for many seasons to come!

In 1.19 super jump and speed cause false positives, please fix............................

My honest Vulcan review

Over the time period I've been using Vulcan I can say that I have no complaints. I've been running a few servers using Vulcan as the primary anticheat and I can safely say it's reliable and resource-friendly.
The product is premium quality and has by far been the best anticheat I've used in recent times to combat the increasingly large amount of hacked clients, I've had 0 false detections and I honestly believe that every update improves Vulcan substantially.

Doing my own tests and just from running my server I can say that I and many other people have not been able to bypass Vulcan.
The configuration is straight forward and direct not only that, Vulcan is completely customizable.
Vulcan also has the best discord integration I've ever seen! It works flawlessly.


The customer support is amazing and I would 100% recommend the product for anyone wanting/needing a fully working anticheat without breaking the bank.

I've been using Vulcan for a little while now. I came across this plugin because I was suggested it by absolutely everyone. I used to work on a server that used Spartan, and I can speak from experience that it was not a fun time.

Vulcan is performance-friendly and has very few false flags, it's well worth the money in this alone.

However, what really tops it, is the incredible support & fast responses you'll receive.

Like any anti-cheat, there's always some hacked client developer who says they've found a bypass/can bypass the anti-cheat. However, frap quicky patches & should you suspect someone is bypassing, support is more than happy to help you in how to solve the issue.


All in all, I recommend this plugin for your anti-cheat needs.

Worst anticheat ever could easily get bypassed by clients that are used on hypixel. Shitty devs they work at mcdonalds. And none of yall could give a refund and i bought it a day ago lmaoo! Bought the anticheat, 4 block reach bypassed didn't flag once. Autoclicker checks falsed when clicking 10 which is pretty sad. Banned people everytime I tp'd people to me. We had a test server up with around 20 players and 15 of them got banned and they were legit.

Vulcan is perfection and puts all the other bloatware anti-cheats to shame. Don't waste your money on all the trash out there, seriously.

Best Anti cheat No cheaters Was be able To cheat on my server
worth The money and frap is very Helpful

Best Anticheat that i've Seen, almost Perfect Checks and lots of Addons, Completely Obliterates all the Others, Congrats to the Team, Perfect for Developers too (Great API) and it also has a Big Configuration!

I am the developer/administrator of the most popular Duel server for half a year among the Russian-speaking audience and I was struck by a few things that I will write about now.
The plugin is just great with its check on the cheat for the movement category. Just great fly detection, speedhack, high jump, strafe and other such features.
The anti-cheat either gave a notification that the player is using cheats and the moderator teleported and began to check the player for using cheats, if they are found, the player gets a ban, or the anti-cheat simply does not allow him to move and kicks (I have anti-cheat set up this way, by default it just kicks).
For the combat category, there is also a great finding of cheats such as Aim, Killaura (not fully), Auto-Clicker, Criticals. But everything has an end. And now I will tell the other side of the anti-cheat.
Yes. Anti-cheat does not load the server at all, but...
Detection of cheats such as xcarry - no. Finding hitboxes or riches is DISGUSTING.
The same anti-cheat Ma**ix just spammed a notification that the player is using hitboxes, and this anti-cheat just gave one notification and then, if you're lucky, and does nothing. No matter how I try to set it up, it either gives false alerts or does nothing.
I wrote to the developer of the whole ece what problems I have and what problems the anti has with false cheat detections. The discord ticket lasted 5 minutes and then was deleted with the reason that using mat**x will lead you to a complete ban of all players due to suspicious movement. He doesn't even know that my move to mat**x is disabled for the reason that the volcano is better.
See screenshots below.

My message to the developer: https://prnt.sc/Us1WWoOAGIbS
Answer: https://prnt.sc/NU0Oh0p61VDw

This is despite the fact that this is not the first time I have written to him about such false detections in anti-cheat, the first time it was about three months ago and the developer replied that he could not repeat my false alert with the same settings, he had everything for this, the necessary information that I provided. How could he repeat it if extra was needed there. a paid plugin which I'm pretty sure it didn't have. Just terrible support, judging by the updates, he still takes some part in fixing bugs, but not in this case

It's the best anticheat I've used.It works really well for me and I've been using it since 1.17 .The anticheat is often fixed and updated by the developer and hasn't been abandoned at least to my knowledge.I recommend it as I haven't had any problems with it.It does the job and it's worth the money

Vulcan was the best solution for my server. Staff & frap is very friendly and helped me with any situation (even though I was dumb sometimes)

1.19 support is so good, thank you so much frap my players are loving it especially with the caves

In 10+ years, I have never given a negative rating to a plugin. If a plugin did not perform up to expectations, I simply moved on and found another solution/plugin for my needs. I need to caveat all of this by saying, for the most part, Vulcan performs well as an anticheat.

With that said, the problems arose a few months ago, when a particular setup I was using was throwing false positives, as they were not properly hooked into vulcan's api properly. ( full disclosure, I'm not that smart and I don't know entirely what this means. I just know that vulcan doesnt read the plugins code and views strange movement caused by the plugin as cheating.) Now, I am led to believe this is not the fault of Vulcan, and instead the other plugins I was using. That's fine. I was able to evenutally contact that developer and reach a solution. The problem I had with vulcan was that when contacting support, I was talked to like an absolute idiot. While I enjoy running a minecraft server, I know next to nothing about code. However, for a developer of a plugin to speak to a customer as if he was less than, simply because he was asked if there was a way to fix an incompatibility shocked me to say the least.

Fast forward to now. We are a full week + into the 1.19 update. A plugin that is absolutely essential to my server has not updated. If I understand correctly, it is because Vulcan uses a different framework..? api? than other plugins. Having asked for more information or an eta in every venue I can think of and being flat out ignored, I mentioned in their customer chat, during a discussion about matrix, that I had once used matrix.. thats it. The next 10 minutes I spent being called names like it was 3rd grade recess by multiple individuals, with them bringing up posts from days ago where I had asked for an eta. The fact that this behavior is both allowed and encouraged in the customer chat is disheartening.

With multiple issues in a short amount of time, zero interaction with any type of staff member, I gave up. I submitted a support ticket asking for a refund. Now to be clear, I half expected a no. I have actually used vulcan for months. The refund was simply based on the fact I can no longer use it and have received no support and been belittled when i asked for support.

Not only was I refused a refund, (i mostly expected this, but it was worth a shot), but after the following statement from me

]: As you have stated that you are refusing my refund request for a digital download that you acknowledge I can not use at this time, we can close this ticket.

accepting the refusal and asking to close the ticket, this was the response

"sorry you think that you are more special than the other 3,000 people who have no issue waiting a few days"

While this is a small portion of the interaction, it was incredibly disproportionate to me accepting the refusal and asking to close the ticket.

I have never seen developers for a plugin speak to users this way.

tl:dr. Plugin works, but apparently uses an api that takes an incredibly long time to update, leaving users without an anticheat solution for weeks after an update. Asking for support of any kind from the dev team is going to lead to an incredibly unpleasant and toxic response.

For me the Discord Thing doesnt work, but overall a great Plugin. And PLS ADD 1.19 SUPPORT. ty

Nice anticheat :) Block 99% cheater on my server

Btw please add ecoskills hook , the plugins will make Speed/Motion/Improbable check are false-flags.

Absolutely fantastic anticheat plugin - much better than any others on the market at this price. Had a small issue to begin with but the support answered my question within a few minutes.

Cannot recommend this enough!

Excellent anti-cheat plugin. Quick update and friendly support staff.
I am waiting for the 1.19 support.

I like your Plugin

Please update to Version 1.19

Thank You

Good plugin in the complex, but when there will be a 1.19 support patch? I know it's really early to ask, but it's needed as fast as possible

I really like this anticheat, I made a friend test it for me before I end up releasing my server and honestly.

This anticheat is really powerful and might just be the best anticheat you can find and even for its price it has discord integration along side a really fast responding staff team and fast and really good support!

I 10000% recommend servers buy this anticheat and use it.

You won't regret it!

Nice anticheat plugin i ever used in my server. most of the cheats are detectable by this plugin

very nice anticheat, instant detection :) ! I can't wait to get languages already made!

Great movement detection and combat could use some work but still outperforms most other public anti-cheats. Has beautiful development capabilities with an API ❤️. Frequent updates and fixes and extremely customizable. 100% worth the money.

VULCANOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Hi to frap, hoss and sergio!
Hola a frap, hoss y sergio!

Im using a new rating system.
Everything will be rated either 'par', 'below par' or 'above par'.

[Ease of Use] Above par.
This plugin works well out of the box for the majority of servers.

[False Positives & Bypasses] Above par.
Again, out of the box, this plugin just works; With that said, it is intentionally lenient as to be compatible with as many servers as possible.
Many ""bypasses"" can be fixed with a simple config tweak, even if those ""bypasses"" don't provide any unfair advantage.

[Community] Above par.
The support is absolutely insane. The average support response time is less than 2 minutes currently, but that time is inflated by people opening tickets at 3am haha.
The community as a whole is nice, though as with any community (especially so with anticheat communities), there will be bad eggs.

[API & extensibility] Par.
The api is serviceable and gives you the tools you need to interact with the plugin's internals, but its nothing to write home about.

[Compatibility] Par.
Because it is packet based, it is compatible with the majority of plugins out there, with a key exception, Any plugin which uses any protocollib version below 5.0 and interacts directly with the packet pipeline is probably incompatible.

Can you give me a complete interpretation of the configuration file, thank you, great plugin, recommended! ! ! ! ! ! !

I like the most recent version. Good job :D thank you./..........................

Güzel idare eder xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Very good cheap anticheat solution for your minecraft server I use this on my server with minimal lag and the checks are very accurate would reccomend!

Great plugin! Currently using it on a bigger survival network and it warks perfectly :)

Tryed Antiaura, Godseye NOW Found the best Anticheat ever. Cool Functions and huge checks

Looking for "THE Anticheat"? This is it you found it fully customizable informative quick GUI you wont find a Anti cheat this good with this little CPU use anywhere else. Discord alert integration and way way more. 11 stars! Can't wait to see what it can do next!

this plugin is amazing. there are very few false positives compared to all other anticheats I have tested and after running timings I found that Vulcan uses pretty much nothing at all! (0.02% 0.001s, 0.03% of tick). During this timings report I averaged 8 players, when more where on it seemed to run perfectly too. I recommend this Anticheat.

Vulcan is an amazing anticheat!
Every client I have seen with "Vulcan bypasses" don't actually bypass...
Keep up the amazing work!

The versions have been good so far. I am using a 12GB server with 1.18.2. The problem is with Kill-Aura A, Speed C, and Ground Spoof C. I use to be using 1.17.1 and during that time, everything was working so well! But this time its been glitching a lot and kicking people. Mostly people in water. If you could fix that in the next update then that would be nice. Overall other than that, it has been very good! I just had to disable a few flags and overall that made things perfect.

Oh and also if you are wondering why I just dont disable those checks, those are the checks that get the most hackers and if I disable them then hackers will be hacking more.

Dear Author's Response

I am a Forge module server, I really need this anti-cheat program, but I can't read the English annotation, many things are not correct with machine translation, I can't join your discod group, it reminds me I can't accept the invitation

Can you send the Chinese documents to my mailbox? ( [email protected])

thanks for you help.

Fantastic Anticheat! Works well at detecting and removing cheaters! After using it for a few weeks I have not had any false punishments! Thanks for keeping it actively maintained! I recommend this plugin to anyone looking for a simple solution to cheaters.

Very good anticheat it can detect lots of cheats. Very nice staff :D
#unban me, please

This will be my first and last review.
Do you need words? I think it's the best!
Firstly there is detection capability and said, but the error lockout.
But the developer fixed the error block within days.
Even the support is the best!
There was a situation where I couldn't get authentication because I couldn't pay by PayPal by mistake, but he was very kind and helped me with everything, not to mention it anymore.
If you need anti-cheat, buy it.

Good plug-in, can vulcan detect 1.18.2 FabricWurst, and kick them out of the game, not the function in wurst, urgently need answers and solutions, urgently need answers and solutions, and how to join the discord of vulcan, thank the author.

Constant auto clicker false flags. Also forget about riptide with this anticheat. Also players getting setback by vulcan for being in an unloaded chunk.

this is good stuff, + discord support is extraordinary. if you're in doubt whether to buy it or not, just do it. it will be worth it

best one yet
even catch some ghost client
but it has very reasonable price
really recommend to anyone

Great Anti-Cheat plugin. Actively maintained which is important to keep up with new cheating methods.

I think the plug is at a high level and worth investing in, it needs a few more tweaks but it looks very good hopefully there will be new features soon which will also be at a high level.

Very good anticheat! much be with other anticheat #unbanme

Hi NBCSM I know how good support anyways just do not report false or bypass in this list a disclaimer frap said I did and get a ban well I reported(open ticket) scaffold non rotation 3 times i guess (different config)

I'd like to say a few things about what Udomlak said.

There are more expensive or cheaper alternatives than Vulcan, but Vulcan is the best.

1- When you contact the support team, they help you in the best way possible. If the information provided is not enough for you, they even send you a video.
2- You can find anyone for support no matter the time or day. (WHICH IS WHERE IT GETS CRAZY!)
3-About frap... For some reason, I was unable to use the payment terms provided before I bought this plugin. When I reported this, they offered me other alternatives.They didn't go like we got enough users you don't have to buy it. They actually care about every single users that uses their products.And i remember, after the purchase frap was busy. And i was spamming like hey! im still waiting wohoooo!!! #frapquit and he was totally kind even im insisting about spamming :D
4- If you have a high number of players, Vulcan is the best option. It's like Vulcan only needs to air to work :D
5-If you've read this far and still haven't bought your Vulcan, you should be ashamed.

**Hey remember, everyone has a good reasons to use Vulcan these are just my reasons ^^**

I have been using Vulcan for over a year now, easily the best anticheat i've used. It is very optimized and I have never ran into performance issues. When issues did arise, the support team was able to help me through the issues that were on my end or fix the issues on their end. All the negative reviews I have seen have been from people who do not know how to properly handle an issue. There are numerous amounts of resources you can use to work with Vulcan, and a large support team to assist.

I've never seen a so good ac. Optimized, fully configurable, working with the default config, pretty good API, good support. I recommend it for sure !

Plugin works well, support and discord are nice, I don't have anything to complain about
