News:

• The Player Combat objects were introduced recently, and have been responsible for the creations of the new KillAura combat-analysis check, the rewritten Velocity check, the Player Fights inventory menu, and several other code optimisations in detection stability & performance usage. Now, the same objects have been used to create two new detections for the HitReach & FastClicks checks, which will co-exist with their predecessors to offer more accurate & guaranteed detections.

News:

• Spartan is a capable plugin with many features. However, some of these features can become redundant or too many over time, leading to complexities for the user. Therefore, this update has led to the combination of the Player Info inventory menu with the Debug & Spectate features, which also causes the removal of many outdated & unnecessary permissions.
• The inventory menus now receive one more great update. Many unnecessary statistics & item descriptions have been removed and replaced with additional inventory menus for the user. The additional inventory menius were previously part of Spartan Syn, but now have been made available to the public in a limited edition form.

Logs:

1. Corrected a MorePackets instant timer bypass.

20. Implemented a new checks.yml configuration option. (Velocity.cancel_seconds)
21. Corrected a few Jesus check water elevator false positives.

Corrected a no-such-method error for old Minecraft server versions.

News:

• The FastBreak check has been very reliable, but has often had issues with too much restriction or too much leniency. This is caused by the check’s code being hardcoded and not calculated, which prevents it from adapting and creates bugs as Minecraft releases new versions. This update completely rewrites a part of the check to be based on calculations, bringing ultimate precision with it.
• Many checks and their detections date back to 2016, which is the year Spartan released. Over time, Spartan’s system changes, and many of its components change in ways that can malfunction if not properly maintained. In this update, I returned to checks that have been untouched for long and maintained their codes, throwing away unneeded methods, variables & optimizing necessary ones.

Logs:

1. Corrected a bug that prevented the mcMMO & TreeFeller compatibilities from loading.
2. Greatly improved the Block utilities to provide more universal methods.
3. Corrected a bug in the Player Info inventory menu where some items would not work.

9. Removed the 2 checks.yml detection options of the FastHeal check and replaced them with a singular better detection. (check_unusual, check_illegal)
10. Removed the 3 checks.yml detection options of the FastBreak check. (check_durability, check_moves_in_between, check_frequency)
11. Greatly improved the Debug feature with more precise descriptions of a situation.
12. Reverted some changes made to the Floodgate compatibility to improve the bedrock player identification.
13. Corrected a bug in the Spectate feature where player flying would not enable if flight was allowed.
14. Noticeably improved the Spartan Player object with more updates of its cache.
15. Corrected a potential bug in the Player Swim handler that could have caused inconsistencies.
16. Noticeably improved the Material utils with a method to judge the block breaking speed.
17. Corrected dozens of elytra false positives caused by cache & Bukkit inconsistencies.

News:

• The Spartan Player object is a replicate of the Player object Bukkit offers, but has increased variable speeds. In this update, the vast majority of remaining uses of the Player object were replaced to help unify many codes, and overall create a more organised environment for the future.

15. Updated the title of the Player Info inventory menu to be more unique.
16. Noticeably improved the Spartan Open Inventory object with more accurate methods.

News:

• With the recently introduced Velocity Analysis object, I was able to completely rewrite the Velocity check from scratch. The check is now 3x times smaller & significantly faster than its predecessor. It’s expected that it will catch a large variety of velocities, way more than its predecessor could even lightly detect, granted the anti-cheat is being used in a production environment where the Research Engine can collect information from players.
• The Spartan inventory menu has been rewritten to have less items, less item boxes, smaller descriptions, and overall give attention to what matters instead of everything. In addition, a new item was added for Syn customers to allow them to view historical fights.

Logs:

1. Corrected several HitReach bedrock player false positives.
2. Completely rewritten the Velocity check with the help of the Research Engine & Player Profiling objects.

12. Corrected a bug in the KillAura fight-analysis detection that caused certain data to be skipped.
13. Noticeably improved the KillAura check with new ways of running some of its detections.
14. Corrected several IrregularMovements fall & down slow-falling potion effect false positives.
15. Slightly improved the Spartan Player object & Player Data utilities with better usage of potion effects.
16. Slightly improved the Vehicle Access handler with more universal methods.

Provided the Research Engine with some necessary optimisations to return to the great performance of Build 448, or even better. Thanks for being patient and understanding.

1. Corrected several MorePackets silent timer bypasses.
2. Corrected a few IrregularMovements no-down glide bypasses.
3. Re-enabled the caching of player heads for the inventory menus.
