HustixGuard is our own anticheat, written from scratch for HUSTIX. It watches combat, movement and building around the clock, with one goal: a fair game for everyone who plays honestly. This post lists what it detects, how we keep it fair and what happens when someone cheats.
Exact limits stay private on purpose, so cheat makers can't tune against them.
The short version
- 20 detections across combat, movement, building and mining.
- Ranks protect nobody: staff and operators are checked like every other player.
- Built to avoid false bans: lag, high ping and fast-but-human play are taken into account.
- Evidence behind every punishment, so staff can double-check each case.
- One record for the whole network: a ban counts on every server.
- You can appeal on the website, without logging in.
What it detects
| Area | Detection | What it catches |
|---|---|---|
| Combat | Reach | hitting from further away than the game allows |
| Combat | Killaura (Aim) | hitting things you are not looking at |
| Combat | Aim assist | a crosshair that sticks to a player, or snaps to him for the hit |
| Combat | Triggerbot | hitting the very instant the crosshair touches a player |
| Combat | Autoclicker | clicking no human can keep up: hits, block clicks and block placing, so a macro on the right mouse button is found as well |
| Combat | No-swing | attacking without the arm swing |
| Combat | Anti-knockback | a client that refuses to take a hit |
| Movement | Fly, Boat fly | hovering or rising against gravity |
| Movement | Speed, Timer | a client that moves or ticks faster than the game allows |
| Movement | Jesus | walking on water or lava |
| Movement | Step, Spider | climbing blocks and walls the normal way doesn't allow |
| Movement | Ground spoof (NoFall) | claiming to stand on ground that isn't there |
| Building | Scaffold, AutoBridge | blocks placed faster than anyone can, or while the view jumps away and back |
| Building | Free cam | using chests, doors and villagers you can't actually see |
| Mining | Nuker | breaking many blocks at once, or blocks you can't see |
| Mining | X-Ray | tunnelling straight to hidden ores, again and again |
Built to be fair
A ban is a big deal, so the system is built to leave honest players alone:
- A single odd moment never punishes anyone. Every detection adds to a hidden score per type of cheat, and the score fades again over time. Only a score that stays high leads to a punishment.
- Lag and bad connections are taken into account. When the server lags or your connection hiccups, the checks stand down instead of guessing.
- Fast clicking alone is fine. Only clicking no human can keep up is flagged.
- Normal game mechanics are left alone: knockback, elytra, water, ladders, pistons, potions, vehicles and the like.
- No rank is exempt. Staff and operators are checked like everyone else, so if you play fair you have nothing to fear, whoever you are.
- Staff see alerts live and can step in at any time.
What happens to cheaters
Detections build up a hidden score per type of cheat. Only when it stays high is the player handed to our ban system, and bans escalate with every offence:
| Offence | Ban |
|---|---|
| 1st | 30 days |
| 2nd | 90 days |
| 3rd | 180 days |
| 4th and after | Permanent |
The reason shown on the ban is Cheating through the Use of Unfair Game Advantages. A ban counts on every server of the network. Every punishment is stored with the evidence behind it. Our rules say the same in short: no cheating, no unfair macros or auto-clickers.
Banned and think it is a mistake?
Use the ban appeal page (short address: appeal.hustix.net). You do not need an account on this website, because a banned player can't join the game to link one.
- Enter your exact Minecraft username.
- You see your ban: the reason, when it ends (or "Permanent") and the ban ID.
- Write your appeal in a few sentences. You can add a Discord name or an email so staff can reach you.
Staff read every appeal. Only one appeal per ban can wait for a decision at a time. If we got it wrong, staff lift the ban and clear your anticheat record, so the ladder starts from zero again.
Help us catch the rest
No anticheat is perfect, so reports matter. Use /report in the game when you see someone with an unfair advantage. Please do not test cheats on the network or look for ways around the checks, that is what starts the ladder.
Found a bug in the anticheat itself? Post it in the bug tracker.
What is next
Plans, not promises:
- Tuning the detections with what we see in real play
- New detections as new cheats show up
Thanks for playing fair!
