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.

---

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
