Bukkit

@ProjectInfinity

looks ok to me. The only thing I could think of is that apparently players that fly very high above the map can cause the server to slowdown. At least that's what people keep saying.

@Zidkon

Hm, if I start to compare messages, they'll just start to send different messages with their bots. MCBans has an effective method of preventing this kind of spam (they are good at identiying if a player joined legitimately or for spamming). You may want to look at that. Afaik it is possible to switch off everything of their plugin except for this mass-join prevention.

@minecraftyord

Very strange. Standard setttings would be 5 messages/command per 5 seconds, then the counter should reset (and it does so for me when testing). I don't know what could be causing that.

@grovest4life

NoCheat fixes that already. It's the config.txt option ominously called "inventory.closebeforeteleports = true". It is active by default, so if you run the latest version of NoCheat, it will not be possible to use that duplication exploit.

Noclip. No, not really. I tried to block that once, but Minecraft has too many situations where players are allowed to go through walls that it is impossible to reliably block the forbidden noclipping without breaking the game.

Yes. You can allow flying but still limit the speed of flying. If you want to allow flying for everybody, you can set "moving.runfly.allowlimitedflying = true" and "moving.runfly.check = true" in the config.txt. If you want to allow it only for selected players, you'd have to give them permission node "nocheat.checks.moving.flying". In that case the only speed limits that are applied to player movement are "flyingspeedlimitvertical" and "flyingspeedlimithorizontal" (set by default to about the max speed of the builtin creative-mode flying).

EDIT: For unlimited flying, set "moving.runfly.check = false" or give the permission node "nocheat.checks.moving.runfly". If one of those is set, all speed limits and movement restrictions are ignored. /EDIT

The spam check tests for chat messages and commands. So if people send a lot of "/commands", they can get kicked for that too. Some people try to lag/crash servers by sending a ton of "/help", "/spawn", "/home" etc. commands, which cause the server a lot of work while the server admin may not notice it (e.g. "/help" afaik leaves no trace in the server console/log files). NoCheat should however write a log message to "nocheat.log" telling you at least one of the messages/commands that was sent by the player.

Permissions 3.1.6 is dead. Use a permissions plugin that is still actively developed and supported, e.g. PermissionsEx, GroupManager or bPermissions.

NoCheat: v2.21a:

• Fixed trapdoors blocking players from climbing up through them
• Fixed nofall check dealing damage to players when they switch from creative to normal mode in some cases
• Fixed some descriptions in config.txt

Stupid trapdoors.

@LordKainzo

Then I'll do that. I'm interested in getting this to work with minimal effort for both sides.

NoCheat 2.21:

• First "real" MC 1.0.1 version for "CB 1.0.1 R2" (1597), no longer downward compatible with RB 1337
• Fixed seldom error about IllegalAccessException when trying to print log messages
• Default warning level of "selfhit" check is now only "med", not "high"
• Making sprinting depend on food level, and give the option to ignore food level (allowhungrysprinting)
• Removed godmode fix, because this Bukkit build fixes it
• Updated NoCheat's internal block property list for new blocks, e.g. Nether fences
• Minor modifications to how the "movement" checks decide if a player is on ground or not, making the code easier to understand (for me)
• Hopefully better compatibility with Heroes plugin
• Maybe I broke something, let's hope not
