MC Plugin Vacan Anti Cheat for Java | Advanced AntiCheat Detection | 1.7-1.21.5 4.0.3.6

The intuitive solution when it comes to anti-cheat protection

1. The plugin will now max out its time division to 30 instead of 90 days.
2. Completely rewritten a big part of KillAura check with new utilities and design, with the remaining awaiting completion.
3. Introduced a new messages.yml configuration option named “console_name”.
4. The Maximum Checked Players feature will now be more synchronized with its interactions.
5. Major Incompatible plugins/features can now be toggled via compatibility.yml if you don’t want to account for them.
6. Certain compatibilities were updated to work better on more recent versions of Minecraft.
7. Completely rewritten the way the plugin understands yaw & pitch difference for more accurate calculations.
8. Discordapp.com will now also work as a webhooks domain compared to only discord.com previously.
9. Adjusted certain potion effect methods of the Player Data utilities to help improve detection stability.
10. Adjusted the accuracy of the identification of jump movement down to 6 decimal places for less false positives.
11. Did a general maintenance of many classes and replaced a lot of outdated & inefficient code.
12. The previously secret option that allowed to toggle console logs has returned in settings.yml.
13. Implemented new checks.yml options and removed old ones to adjust to the changes of the KillAura check.

Plugin maintenance & Preparation for the upcoming big changes

Replaced the entity-height method with the entity-eye-height method for 1.8, 1.9 & 1.10 Minecraft servers, since the original method is missing.

1. Completely rewritten the EntityMove check with the use of vehicle attributes but also new calculations.
2. Simplified the way cross-server notifications are distributed to avoid confusions between users.
3. The Maximum Checked Players feature will now iterate properly though some of its information.
4. Compatibilities will attempt to send Awareness Notifications when failing to load.
5. The Cloud feature will no longer impact the “server_name” option in settings.yml.
6. Potentially corrected a NoFall water bucket false positive. (MinecraftSGP message me if not fixed)
7. Optimized the Cloud feature with less specific error handling.
8. Implemented a new Cloud sub-feature to command the plugin to send customer-support information.
9. The Cloud feature will now refresh for the first time after the Research Engine handler has completed its caching.
10. Cache stored by the movement event will now be specific to the vehicle the player is riding.
11. Improved the effectiveness of the False Positive Detection by making it run on violations not containing a prevention which will allow for premature learning.
12. The False Positive Detection will now have a 2MB limit in the data it can retain in its memory, although there have been no reported issues.
13. The False Positive Detection will now round integers to the nearest of 5 to improve stability.
14. Improved the compatibility of Ultimate Statistics with more useful calls and less code checks.
15. The Vehicles compatibility will now provide more accurate and less lenient results.
16. Pistons will now be accounted for in the water detection of the Speed check.
17. The evidence algorithm of the Player Profile object will now search for false positives instead of just problematic detections.
18. The evidence algorithm of the Player Profile object will now calculate the days based on your first significant violation till now instead of days you had violations recorded.
19. The evidence algorithm of the Player Profile object will now decide whether a player is suspected or a hacker based on the amount of suspicions instead of level of individual suspicions.
20. Evidence of hacking or suspicion will now be held longer in the memory for offline players to save performance.
21. Brought performance & accuracy improvements in the way the Speed check caches its limits.
22. Inventory menus and certain calculations will now use more accurate results of a player’s violation history.
23. The overall history of a player will now be based on the amount of unique dates instead of the total collected amount of dates.
24. The main inventory menu will no longer process multiple versions of itself for a single players, which could potentially happen in a time of server lag or spam while already loading.
25. Rewrote a part of the punishment algorithm to run faster, be more reliable with its results and have no limit to how many checks a player can be punished for.
26. Combat-based calculations of the Research Engine handler will now be returned to their original values if not enough data is available.
27. Implemented a new checks.yml configuration option for the GhostHand check: check_fully_solid_blocks_only

This update is for those of you whom encounter this rare string replacement error. It's effectively harmless, but here you go.

Resource packs will now be identified when the Bukkit method is available.

Following my reply to @md_5:
Made extra functionalities available to everyone natively via the plugin's code, older versions will continue to receive them via a web-server connection. Additionally, online documentation has returned the options of the extra functionalities.

1. The Exploits undetected-movement detection will no longer check players in vehicles as it doesn’t need to.
2. The Exploits undetected-movement detection will now check the configuration before running.
3. The IrregularMovements check will now be more lenient when the scenario changes.
4. The plugin will now convert text to decimals faster which will help when analyzing violation information data.
5. The Inventory utilities will now use different methods to set the owning head of a player depending on the server version.
6. Decreased the amount of threads the plugin uses for asynchronous tasks.
7. The Information Analysis object will now remove numbers from detections and will try to correlate them to configuration options for more unique outcomes.
8. The Cancel Violation handler will now be updated more frequently for more consistent and accurate calculations.
9. The Cache system will no longer clear certain important types of data.
10. The False Positive Detection feature will now create more simplified keys for higher chance of catching false positives.
11. The False Positive Detection feature will now consider hackers & suspected players in its calculations in more strict terms.
12. Corrected a few outdated messages related to the Research Engine handler.
13. Completely rewritten the way Problematic Detections are calculated.

Did some critical optimisations to the Player Profiling objects to restore good performance for some users.

Corrected a SQL table creation issue and a major check cancellation issue. Updating is more than recommended, sorry for the inconvenience, Phase 488 was a massive update.
