Paradox AntiCheat is a fork of Scythe AntiCheat, which was released under the GPLv3 License. Paradox was created to fix some differences within Scythe and to provide a more reliable and effective anti-cheat solution for Minecraft Bedrock. All original commit history pertaining to Scythe still exists within this project and is free to review.

Project Status

Applying the Paradox AntiCheat Pack

When applying the pack to your world make sure the addon is at the top of the behavior pack list and Beta APIs is enabled. This is to ensure all checks and systems work properly. The versioning system for Paradox goes as follows:

• The first number denotes the pack version. This will rarely change unless there has been major changes to the code.
• The second number denotes the major revision of the pack version. These particular changes mostly involve around features being added or removed.
• The third number indicates the minor revision of the Pack. This evolves around bug fixes.

Installing the Paradox AntiCheat Pack

To install this anticheat to your realm/world you need to:

1. Install the .mcpack
2. Apply it to your world
3. Enable Beta APIs

Once you have done this the anticheat should be fully up and running. Education Edition is required for the command !fly to work.

Gaining Permission to Use Paradox

Follow these steps to grant yourself permission to use Paradox in your world:

1. If you're a Realm owner or prefer using a password:
   1. Edit the config.js file located at /scripts/data/config.js.
   2. Scroll down to the encryption section.
   3. Inside encryption, find password.
   4. Enter your chosen password:

      encryption: {
          password: "mypassword",
      }

   5. Keep your password safe and confidential.
2. For all users not using a password:
   1. Install the Anti Cheat and load your Minecraft world.
   2. In the game's chat, enter op. Replace with your server's command prefix, e.g., !.
   3. If you have necessary permissions, this grants you Paradox AntiCheat access.
   4. Once granted, you'll have Paradox AntiCheat features.
   5. To give Paradox-Op permissions to others, use op .
   6. Learn more by entering op help.
   7. For Bedrock Dedicated Server (BDS), add the following to the server.properties file:

      op-permission-level=2
      #min=2
      #max=4

Note: If you're using a password (Realm owners), use op for permission.

Remember, keep your password secure and share it cautiously.

Important Notes

• Paradox will kick you out if you have any illegal items in your inventory so if you think Paradox may flag you after installing then it is highly suggested to drop your entire inventory prior to activating this Anti Cheat!!!
