Hello everyone,
A bit over a month ago the server's anti-cheat plugin has been changed from NoCheatPlus (NCP) to Spartan in order to hopefully have a better all-round anti-cheat, meaning an anti-cheat that prevents the usage of cheats as well as possible while keeping legitimate users unaffected as much as possible. But as it seems, no anti-cheat is perfect; While issues NCP caused are gone, some new issues caused by Spartan appeared. This thread's purpose is for everyone to be able to report issues they're having caused by the anti-cheat in one place so that we're aware of them and that they can hopefully be resolved.
If an issue is thought to be resolved but you are still having it, do let us know by making a post here. When reporting an issue be as concise about it as you can, describe the issue in detail, post exactly how to reproduce it (in steps, if applicable), and include the exact time and date of when the issue happened along with your timezone. A video of the issue happening can be very useful but isn't mandatory. Please keep in mind though that not everything is resolvable (especially edge-case scenarios) as it may allow for some cheats to be unable to be stopped otherwise. Having a bad connection or a lag spike may also cause issues, and in this case I don't think there is much that can be done about it.
List of issues per category:
Minor and/or edge-case issues (that are likely to not get fixed):
-Eating while falling coming from a sprint-jump may sometimes get your stuck for the duration you eat.
This happens pretty rarely and doesn't really impact anything, but it's a thing.
-Bouncing off slimeblocks pushed by pistons (on a clock) may get you kicked after a little while.
I don't think this is really fixable without basically allowing certain fly and/or jump related cheats to work, but who knows. This shouldn't really be an issue though given that constantly bouncing off slimeblocks that are being pushed has no practical application what so ever, and slimeblock launchers aren't affected by the anti-cheat.
-Using a boat on ice kicks the player out when the boat's center point is off the ice block while the edge is on the ice block (causing it to still go at ice speed). Also happens when sliding off ice onto non-ice blocks.
Not sure if these edge-cases can be solved.
List of resolved issues:
-Using a boat (on either water or ice) kicking the riding player out for no reason.
Looks to be solved as I can't seem to get it to happen anymore, though I have seen it happen to others recently, possibly due to a bad connection. Let us know if this still happens. (Note that this is still an issue in some more edge-cases, see above.)
-Going upwards for a few seconds at a high rate of speed while flying with an elytra teleports you to the highest available block in the world, which can be at Y0 in the void or in lava.
This looks to also have been resolved as of the 3rd of January as I can no longer reproduce it. Note that using a Punch II bow to boost elytra flight still has issues and isn't supported by the anti-cheat as there is no real solution to that. You are allowed to use them, but be careful using them. We don't guarantee your safety or replace your stuff if you happen to die.
List of current issues:
-Block-pushing based player elevators teleport you down.
This is likely unresolvable, and pretty much any anti-cheat will stop these from working properly in some way. Please build an elevator that uses the player riding a server-side calculated entity such as a minecart or llama instead.
-Running and jumping along a floor with cobble walls mixed and a ceiling 3 blocks higher can get you teleported down to the lowest available block (which can be in lava or at Y0 in the void in the end dimension)
A very edge-case scenario here. Not much else to say about this one, other than don't jump in such areas for the time being at least.
Example of how to report an issue:
When riding a boat on an ice track as shown here puu.sh/yTgZg/fbebd33e9c.jpg where the center of the boat is not on ice while the edge is you get kicked out of the boat after riding it at full speed for a few seconds. It's required for the boat to be mostly off the ice for this to happen. Last reproduced/occured at 10:22 (AM) CET. Note that staying centered on the ice or just riding along a flat ice track with no slabs to the sides has no issues.
