Welcome to Gaia

Gaia stands for: Gaia Analyses Irregular Activity

Gaia is a packet-level anticheat plugin designed for Bukkit, Spigot, and Paper servers. Think of it as your server's watchdog, keeping an eye on client packets to ensure fair play. This repository holds the source code for Gaia, built as a Java Maven project targeting Java 17. Once compiled, it becomes a plugin JAR (named Gaia-1.0.0.jar in this version).

What Gaia Does

• Server-side Protection: Gaia inspects and evaluates client packets using PacketEvents (a dependency declared in plugin.yml).
• Comprehensive Checks: Detection checks are neatly organized under src/main/java/com/gaiaac/gaia/checks/, with categories like combat, movement, and player.
• Core Functionality: The heart of Gaia lives in src/main/java/com/gaiaac/gaia/core/, including key components like GaiaPlugin, PacketManager, and PlayerData.

Quick Facts

• Maven Coordinates: com.gaiaac:gaia:1.0.0 (defined in pom.xml).
• Java Version: 17 (compiler settings in pom.xml).
• Main Class: com.gaiaac.gaia.core.GaiaPlugin (declared in plugin.yml).
• Configuration: A runtime template is available in src/main/resources/config.yml, listing checks and their default thresholds.

What's Inside

• Initialization: GaiaPlugin.java handles startup and PacketEvents integration.
• Packet Handling: PacketManager.java manages listeners and packet dispatching.
• Player Data: PlayerData.java keeps track of runtime state and packet-derived info.
• Check Management: CheckManager.java registers and organizes detection checks.
• Detection Logic: Explore the extensive list of checks under src/main/java/com/gaiaac/gaia/checks/.
