TruthfulAC review
A Folia-focused, open-source anti-cheat with broad server-side detection coverage.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
TruthfulAC is an open-source Minecraft server anti-cheat plugin for administrators and developers who want server-side validation across movement, combat, world and block interactions, packets, and selected Bedrock-player behavior. Its approach centers on movement simulation, with additional checks for aim, KillAura, autoclicker, reach, hitbox, raycast behavior, NoFall, anti-knockback, scaffold, fast-break, phase, timer, automation, malformed packets, and packet order. It is a particularly relevant fit for small server teams exploring Folia compatibility and open-source customization.
Pricing is straightforward: TruthfulAC is free and distributed without a license key or activation requirement. Its source code is publicly available, allowing administrators and developers to deploy, inspect, modify, or extend the plugin. The deployment model is self-hosted, so the product fits teams that manage their own Minecraft server environment rather than buyers looking for a hosted anti-cheat service. There are no paid tiers described, making the main evaluation points compatibility, detection coverage, and the effort required to operate and adapt the plugin.
The detection scope is broad, while the ecosystem fit is focused. PacketEvents supports packet-related integration, and Geyser enables dedicated checks for Geyser-translated Bedrock players. Folia has simulation support, but its compatibility is beta, and the published Minecraft version focus is 26.1 latest. Teams running that environment or evaluating Folia-oriented open-source projects should consider TruthfulAC. Servers needing a hosted deployment, broader version coverage, or a support model beyond community channels should choose an alternative aligned with those requirements.
