Who it suits
Spigot 1.8.9 PvP servers Owners seeking free, self-hosted cheat detection Groups that need basic alert and command permissions
MOG-ANTICHEAT fits an owner of a small, legacy-version Spigot or Paper PvP server seeking a free starting point for common cheat detection. Permissions and the toggle command give moderators basic control, and the openly available source lets them inspect the project. Expectations should stay limited: support centers on older Minecraft releases, bugs can occur, and replay analysis is absent. For a 1.8.9 server, the fit is clearer than for 1.12.2.
