FREE FOREVER · PAPER 26.1 AND 26.2
Talon is a fast packet based anticheat for Paper. It catches cheaters with precision, leaves your real players alone, and gives your staff the tools to act.
Drop it in your plugins folder and it just works.
WHY TALON
Every protection is tuned against real cheat clients before it ships, so legit players keep playing and cheaters get caught.
Talon works at the packet level with a tiny footprint. It stays fast even on a full server at peak hours.
Every feature is free. No premium tier, no paywall, nothing locked behind a purchase. Ever.
New protections roll out regularly, and cheaters never know exactly what they are up against.
FOR SERVER OWNERS
Combat logging, crash exploits, and ban evasion are caught and handled, so the threats beyond the obvious are covered too.
Tune every setting from a clean in game menu. You never have to touch a config file unless you want to.
Send detections straight to your Discord, so you never miss a thing even when you are away from the game.
Freeze a suspect on the spot, or quietly watch them with a live readout before you decide what to do.
Talon hands off to your existing punishment plugin, or handles kicks and bans itself. Your server, your rules.
Flip on public alerts to show your whole community that the server is watched and protected.
HOW IT WORKS
Talon inspects what every player sends to your server and checks it against what is actually possible. When something cannot happen legitimately, your staff are alerted and the cheater is handled the way you choose. All of it runs on the server, so there is nothing for players to bypass.
Talon runs on Paper and every Paper fork, so the same packet based detection works whether you run vanilla Paper or a performance fork like Purpur or Pufferfish. On a network it sits behind Velocity or BungeeCord on your backend servers. Requires Java 25.
