Oh, I see. I'm working on an anti-cheat mod; it will be available on the server very soon.

Excellent work so far, crisdan. I use the beowulf anti-cheat mod over on maikerumine's madness, talamh actually made me aware of it back when I took over the server and it works extremely well. I left the beowulf.noclip_hurt.enable setting disabled as that would sometimes trip when a player was carting through a tunnel but I think that has since been fixed. I also make use of the built-in anticheat features of the engine, but with a slight relaxation to help to avoid issues for folks on cellular/5G networks with lag. In the server's minetest.conf:

New server anticheat configuration.

Flags are positive. Uncheck the flag to disable corresponding anticheat module.

type: flags possible values: digging, interaction, movement

anticheat_flags = digging, interaction, movement

Tolerance of movement cheat detector.

Increase the value if players experience stuttery movement.

type: float min: 1

anticheat_movement_tolerance = 1.2

There were lots of script-kiddie attacks when I initially brought the server back but once the anti-cheat mechanisms were in place for a while they seemed to finally give up.

Thanks for creating an interesting and fun place to explore! Also, many thanks to Walker for hosting these servers.
