AntiCheatContinuum

An anti-cheat mod that automatically detects and blocks players using cheat mods and exploits in public lobbies.

Forked by Dummy from PEAKAntiCheatReborn, allowed by KinTheInfinite.

Quick Start

• Install the mod on all players for best protection
• Host players: Press F2 in-game to open the AntiCheat manager
• Configure settings for detection sensitivity and punishment management
• Manage players with block, kick, and ban actions as needed

How It Works

• Automatic Detection: Identifies various cheats including teleporting, item spawning, name spoofing, and more
• Real-time Protection: Blocks harmful actions before they affect you
• Host Control: Lobby hosts can manage detection settings and player enforcement actions
• Communication System: All players with the mod automatically sync block lists and settings with the host

Key Features

Detection Capabilities

• Teleporting and position manipulation
• Item spawning and campfire manipulation
• Name spoofing and Steam ID spoofing
• Unauthorized reviving, killing, and status effects
• Movement exploits (jump/crouch manipulation)
• Multiple methods of detecting installed cheats
• And lots more

Management Tools

• Management Menu: Host interface for managing settings and players
• Block / Unblock: Manually control who can interact with you
• Kick Function: Remove players using PEAK's built-in host kick flow

• Granular Per-Detection Actions: Configure each detection as Warn, Block, Kick, or Ban
• Whitelist: Add trusted friends to bypass all restrictions
• Advanced Mod Detection: View other players' mod lists (only those with Anticheat installed)

Protection Features

• Action Blocking: Prevents harmful networked actions from players identified as cheaters
• Automatic Rescue: Automatically rescues unprotected players when they are teleported to infinity by a cheater (black screened)
• Event Protection: Many layers of authentication to verify AntiCheat events aren't manipulated
• Master Client Detection: Properly retains memory of who is meant to be master client, even if a cheater attempts to steal it

Installation Requirements

Important: All players should install this mod for maximum effectiveness. The mod provides individual protection, but works best when everyone has it.

PEAKER Requirement For Ban

• Kick is built into PEAK and works without PEAKER.
• Ban is not built into PEAK and requires the PEAKER mod.
• Ban integration first tries PEAKER's ban API and then falls back to banned.txt.

Configuration

The mod creates a config file with several customizable options. Access it through your mod manager or edit directly in the config folder.

Important Notes

• This mod is defensive only - it protects you from cheaters rather than punishing them
• Detection isn't 100% perfect, but it's the most effective solution allowed on Thunderstore
• A false positive means a legitimate player is detected as suspicious by mistake
• False positives can happen more often during lag spikes, packet loss, or heavy desync
• Recommended rollout:
  • Start with Warn (1) or Block (2) while observing normal sessions
  • Move specific detections to Kick (3) only after consistent validation
  • Use Ban (4) for detections you trust over time
• You can always unblock players if they were falsely detected
• The most foolproof solution to handling cheaters is ensuring everyone in your lobby has the AntiCheat
