About Paradox AntiCheat

Paradox AntiCheat is a high-performance anti-cheat system for Minecraft Bedrock. It is designed to detect and prevent cheating in both Realms and BDS environments, ensuring a fair gameplay experience for all players.

The name "Paradox" reflects our approach: a system that uses sophisticated algorithms and advanced detection techniques to outsmart cheaters in ways that might seem counterintuitive at first glance.

Paradox: A statement or situation that contradicts itself yet reveals truth.

Highly modular and customizable, Paradox AntiCheat allows developers to tailor detection and enforcement to their worlds’ specific needs. Whether you’re managing a public server or a private Realm, Paradox provides reliable protection against unfair play.

Project Status

Applying the Paradox AntiCheat Pack

When applying the pack to your world, make sure the addon is at the top of the behavior pack list and Beta APIs is enabled. This is to ensure all checks and systems work properly. The versioning system for Paradox goes as follows:

• The first number denotes the pack version. This will rarely change unless there have been major changes to the code.
• The second number denotes the major revision of the pack version. These particular changes mostly involve features being added or removed.
• The third number indicates the minor revision of the Pack. This evolves around bug fixes.

Installing the Paradox AntiCheat Pack

To install this anticheat to your realm/world, follow these steps:

1. Install the .mcpack.
2. Apply it to your world.
3. Enable Beta APIs.

Once you have done this, the anticheat should be fully up and running.
