Esoteric

Esoteric was originally a private anti-cheat for PM servers. However, the anticheat has basically been abandoned and is now being disclosed to the public.

The anti-cheat's performance in terms of execution time is better than Mockingbird's, however it uses a significant amount of RAM due to the world lag compensation I never got to optimize.

Feel free to look at the checks and how they work - you are also free to contribute to this project to keep it alive.

Detections

These are a list of the current detections Esoteric has, along with descriptions of those checks.

• Autoclicker
  • A: Checks if the player's CPS exceeds a certain threshold.
  • B: Checks if the player has duplicated click statistics
  • C: Checks if the player is clicking over 15 cps without double-clicking (clicking two times in the same client tick) once.
• Aim
  • A: Checks if the player's headYaw does not correlate with the player's yaw.
  • B: Checks if the player's yaw movement is rounded.
• KillAura
  • A: Checks if the player is swinging their arm whilst attacking.
  • B: Checks if the player is hitting too many entities in an instance.
• Range
  • A: Checks if the player's range goes beyond a certain threshold.
• Fly
  • A: Estimates the next Y movement of the player. This check detects basic flies.
  • B: Checks if the current Y movement of the player is near equal to the Y movement of the player.
  • C: Checks if the user is jumping on the air.
• Motion
  • A: Checks for impossible upward motion. If there is no probable way you are able to go up, this check flags. Moreover, this also flags HighJump at a certain threshold along with velocity modifiers > 107%.
  • B: Checks if the player is following Minecraft's friction rules in the air. This check can flag Bhop, and some flies.
  • C: Checks if the player is following Minecraft's friction rules while on the ground. This check is surprisingly very effective and can detect a variety of speeds on the ground. The idea behind this check is that your current speed multiplied by your friction cannot be greater than your previous speed.
  • D: Checks if the player's movement is valid while gliding.
• Phase
  • A: Checks if the player makes an invalid move inside a block. Please note that this check is disabled by default due to the resource drain.
• Velocity
  • A: Checks if the player takes less vertical knockback than normal.
  • B: Checks if the player takes less horizontal knockback than normal. This check is currently unusable.
• EditionFaker
  • A: Checks if the player's TitleID does not match the given OS in the Login packet.
• Packets
  • A: Checks if the player's pitch goes beyond a certain threshold
  • B: Checks if the player is sending the wrong movement packet too frequently
  • C: Checks if the player is jumping without holding their specified jump button. This also checks if their jump delay is invalid.
• Nuker
  • A: Checks if the player is breaking blocks too quickly.
• Timer
  • A: Checks if the player sends movement packets faster than usual over a period of time.
