Installing an Anti-Cheat

Information on adding an anti-cheat to your server.

There are many choices when it comes to choosing an anti-cheat to your server. There are lots of free and paid-for options you can go for.

Typically, premium anti-cheats are better than ones you can pick up for free, but it's ultimately up to you how much you want to invest.

If you don't know where to start at all, I'd recommend just installing Grim Anti-Cheat onto your server by just dragging and dropping the jar into your plugins folder.
