# Download Cardinal

anticheat-loader.jar
anticheat-loader.jar

Alternative, you can use wget to download the plugin on your server.

wget https://cdn.micartey.dev/api/v1/download/blob/anticheat-loader.jar

You have to update this binary rarely, as this is only a loader for the actual anticheat. That means, that the newest version will always be used.

# Disable packet limit

Cardinal sends a lot of transaction packets to confirm chunks, block placements, entity movements, etc. These packets can - especially on join - exceed the limit. Therefore, you need to disable the packet limiter.

# ViaVersion

In case you are using ViaVersion, you need to disable the following two options:

  • max-pps
  • pps-tracking-period

By setting both fields to -1

# Paper Servers

  1. Navigate to your server root
  2. Navigate into config
  3. Open paper-global.yml
  4. Set max-packet-rate to -1 (2-times)
