Warden

See who's cheating, with the proof to act on.

Warden is an anti-cheat for Paper servers. It checks every player for 77 kinds of cheating, hides what cheat clients look for, and hands your staff a recording of every alert. It kicks and bans on its own when nobody is online, or only reports. You choose.

What staff see in chat. [Watch] spectates the player, [Replay] plays back what they did, [Review] opens a player's report with its recording.

77 checks 2.5 ms a tick with 50 players fighting Paper 1.21.4 to 1.21.11 Staff need no mod Version 2.0.0

What it does

Finds cheaters
Every move, hit, click and block is checked against real Minecraft physics, for every player on the map. Lag is allowed for; one odd move is never reported, only a pattern.
Acts when nobody is on
Players who clip through blocks are put back. Players caught again and again are kicked, and with bans on, repeat cheaters get a one-day ban. Off, report-only or strict: one click in the menu.
Hides what cheats look for
Players behind walls aren't sent to cheat clients, far-away chests and spawners aren't sent at all, and other players' health is sent as full.
Sets traps for x-ray
While a player mines, their game alone is shown a fake diamond ore sealed in stone. A fair player can't know it's there. Digging straight to it is a Honeypot alert.
Gives staff the proof
Clickable alerts, a replay of every alert in the world, a review queue for player reports, freeze, a mod scan for freecam and x-ray, and a Discord picture of every catch.

Questions

What happens after I pay?

You land on your dashboard with your license key and a download of Warden made for you. Add the key with one console command and you're running.

What's the difference between paying once and renewing?

Paying once gives you the time and stops; add more time from your dashboard whenever you like, on top of what's left. Renewing charges your card again at the end of each period until you turn it off in your dashboard. Turning it off keeps the time you've paid for.

I'm moving to a new host. What do I do?

Press "Move to a new server" in your dashboard. The next server to use your key becomes its server. If your key ever leaks, "New key" makes a fresh one and the old one stops at once. You can do either once every 7 days per server; for anything sooner, ask us in Discord.

Does Warden ban cheaters?

Only if you want it to. Out of the box it reports, pulls back clips and kicks players caught again and again. With bans on, a player kicked twice by a near-proof check is banned for a day.

Can I run it next to Vulcan or Grim?

Yes. Warden works on its own and runs fine beside them.

Will it lag my server?

With 50 players running, jumping and fighting, Warden used about 2.5 ms of each 50 ms tick. /wardenserver status shows its cost live on your server.

Can I get a refund?

Within 48 hours of buying, if Warden doesn't work on your server and we can't fix it. Ask in our Discord. See the terms.

What if your license server goes down?

Warden keeps working for up to 72 hours on its last confirmed license.
