What it is
GK AntiCheat is a Minecraft server plugin intended to block hackers from entering a server. Its listed verification process asks players to send a random code using a command supplied through tellraw. The plugin lists hacked clients and spamming bots as targets, with kicking, automatic bans and whitelist exclusion among its enforcement actions. Automatic kicking of spamming bots is still described as being tested. Administration commands cover help, configuration reloads, whitelist changes and player record checks. It is listed as compatible with SkillAPI, other skill plugins and other anti-cheat plugins, and configuration is available in German and Chinese. The tested major Minecraft versions run from 1.8 through 1.16; its native major version is identified as Legacy, below 1.13. The author says it is mainly intended for Kit PvP or SkillAPI servers and recommends pairing it with another anti-cheat on survival servers. A free plan is listed, with paid access from $4.99 one-time. The author warns that some hacked clients can bypass the plugin and that update time is limited.

Who it suits
It is aimed mainly at Kit PvP or SkillAPI server operators using Spigot. Survival server operators are advised to pair it with another anti-cheat.
GK AntiCheat lists several enforcement actions and compatibility options, but its stated bypass risk and limited update time matter for server operators. The author recommends another anti-cheat alongside it on survival servers.
