Changelog

All notable changes to AntiXray. Dates are in UTC. The docs always describe the current release.

1.1.0

Update check. On startup AntiXray asks GitHub whether a newer release exists. If there is one, a banner is printed at the end of the boot log — where it's actually visible rather than buried mid-startup — and admins are told in chat a few seconds after they join.
"What's new" popup. Admins get the release notes for the version they're running, shown once per release, with Close (see it again next join) and Don't show until next version (persisted per admin in changelog_seen.json). Re-open it any time from Tools → What's new.
Both lookups are asynchronous with a 5-second timeout and fail silently, so a server with no outbound internet — or one GitHub rate-limits — sees nothing at all: no errors, no startup delay, and no popup.

Upgrading from 1.0.0

The update check ships in this release, so 1.0.0 servers can't announce it — 1.1.0 is the first version that will tell you about future releases.

Initial release.

Protection

Per-player packet obfuscation: fully-enclosed real ores are shown as plain rock in each client's view only; the server world is never modified.
Fake-ore honeypot field: decoy ores scattered through hidden host rock at a configurable density, buried CoverDepth deep so they're never visible to a legitimate player.
Wildcard block ids: FakeOrePalette and TrackedOres accept "Prefix*" entries, auto-discovering the ore variants actually registered in your world — no hand-maintained id list, and no "the ids don't match my build" problem.
Protected blocks: a second layer for valuable non-ore blocks — hide the buried real ones, and scatter rare buried decoy chests as honeypots. Container blocks are auto-excluded from hiding, since their model replicates on a channel that can't be intercepted. See Protected Blocks.
Send-time obfuscation (experimental): Obfuscation.SendTimeMode rewrites each chunk as it is sent, so it arrives already-obfuscated — no correction packets, no brief real-ore flash — using the server's own encoder, cached per section and shared across players. Off by default; falls back to the vanilla chunk on any error so terrain can't break. See Send-time mode.
Safety rules: exposed faces are never touched, and breaking a block re-sends the true neighbours within RevealRadius so mining never uncovers a fake — or leaves a real ore masked.

Detection

Honeypot-hit signal: breaking a fully-enclosed fake ore is recorded as a high-confidence X-ray indicator.
Mining-rate heuristic: tracked-ore breaks within a sliding window.
Combined, time-decaying suspicion score with admin alerts on flag — nothing is ever auto-punished.

Admin tools

Single command /antixray (alias /ax) opening a tabbed panel: Suspects (worst-first, per-row spectate), Tools, Status.
Live spectate: a real server follow-camera attached to a suspect, with first/third person, a spectator HUD, cross-world following, and your own gear stashed and restored automatically.
Suspect inventory: read what a suspect is carrying and confiscate or destroy individual stacks, with a re-check that refuses the action if the stack moved first.
Probe tool to discover your server's exact block ids.
Optional debug tools behind -Dantixray.debug=true, including an X-ray audit view that proves the fake field reached your client without needing an X-ray resource pack.

Performance

The obfuscation scan reads each chunk's slab into a single local snapshot and runs its occlusion checks against it, instead of many per-block world reads.
Work is tracked per 32-block section rather than per column, so moving vertically never re-scans chunks the client already has.
Packets are batched into a single flush per chunk instead of one flush per block.

General

Per-world toggles, explicit bypass list plus optional permission bypass (ops not auto-exempt).
English + Portuguese localization; every message editable in the data folder.
