FloriaAC review
A focused, free plugin for Paper servers needing basic packet-based checks.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
FloriaAC is a self-hosted, open-source anti-cheat plugin for Minecraft servers running Paper. It is aimed at server operators who want focused checks for ground spoofing, vanilla flight, and velocity spoofing rather than a broad anti-cheat suite. The plugin is written in Kotlin, distributed under the GPL-3.0 license, and is designed for Paper 1.21.11. Its fit spans small, mid-market, and enterprise server operations, provided they run the required platform and dependency.
Its main strength is a narrow packet-checking focus. Ground spoof detection uses ground, position, and look packet checks, while separate checks cover vanilla flight and velocity spoofing. Brand logging is also included. ProtocolLib compatibility supports the packet-oriented architecture, but ProtocolLib is a required compile-time dependency. This makes the dependency part of the deployment plan rather than an optional integration. Operators should also account for the plugin’s self-hosted deployment model and community-based support.
FloriaAC suits teams that want an open-source Paper plugin with a defined set of movement-related detections and no paid tier to evaluate. It is less suitable for operators seeking wide detection coverage, replay analysis, or documented enforcement behavior. The product’s stated coverage centers on ground spoof and fly detection, so servers needing a broader range of checks should consider a more comprehensive alternative. Choose FloriaAC when minimal Paper packet checks match the server’s needs; choose another option when broader functionality, different Minecraft versions, or a different support model is required.
