VAC-style anticheat for Minecraft

We already have one on our network :3 But using hacked clients isn't against their terms of service, as some of them can be handy for things like map building.

You don't. You have a server-side anticheat which is completely different to VAC.

What does this mean?

Except you're suggesting pointless ideas that aren't feasible.

no, no i'm not

VAC is Valve Anti-Cheat. It does the same thing

Actually our Anti-Cheat bans hundreds of people every day...

No. The problem with this sort of system is that keeping it up to date is too time consuming and intensive (and bypasses will come out far faster then it takes to patch those bypasses with such a small team). As well as the fact that it risks invasion of privacy.

And the only advantage to this is that it'll will guarantee you catch the people with subtle hacks. The most efficient system for Minecraft servers at the moment is to flag players with statistically impossible/concerning movements and events in-game then spectating the player if they want be accurate.

Having an VAC system for all of minecraft would be intensive work and hard to maintain alongside all the other things Mojang has to work on.

Our anti - cheat may not be the most amazing thing ever but it is enough to keep most hackers out of our network. In terms of ghost clients and such I have heard that is being worked on currently or in the future.

Remember not a single anti - cheat can detect every single hacker and ghost client user, that is simply impossible.

You seem to be missing a key point here. VAC is a client sided anticheat while XAC is a server sided anticheat. Client sided anticheats can catch things way better than server side anticheats but they are exponentially more difficult to create.

Of course, I'm just saying we have one and it works to some degree

Minecraft is meant to be a customizable game. Mojang would never do this.
