## Name Change
\nRaycasted Anti-ESP was formerly known as Raycasted Entity Occlusions (REO). v1.x versions still maintain this name, while v2.x versions (currently in alpha) are using the new name.<\/p>\n
Currently the alpha can be compiled from GitHub (`main`) or downloaded precompiled from the discord server. Once the remaining major breaking changes are finished, betas will be published to Modrinth. MC 26.1+ is only officially supported in the alpha builds, although v1 builds *may* work.<\/p>\n
## Introduction<\/p>\n
Raycasted Anti-ESP is an antiesp plugin for Paper and its forks that hides\/culls entities (and tile entities) from players if they do not have line-of-sight. In simple terms, if the player can’t see the creeper, chest, etc on their screen, the server tells the player that it isn’t there.<\/p>\n
The supported versions are 1.21.x PaperMC and Pufferfish. Other server versions and software may work too.<\/p>\n
Use cases:<\/p>\n
– Prevent cheating (anti-esp hacks)
\n – Fully blocks usage of pie-ray and cheat clients to locate underground bases
\n – Only fully functional in v2!
\n – Prevent mods such as mini-maps or cheat clients from displaying the locations of entities which vanilla players would not be able to see
\n– Possibly increases client-side performance for low-end devices
\n – Massive megabases containing hundreds of armour stands, item frames, banners etc can cause performance issues on low-end devices unable to process so many entities. RESP will hide those entities from the client, reducing the number of entities to process.
\n – No real-world testing has been done on this yet, so the actual gains are unknown.
\n– Hide nametags behind walls
\n – Yes, this plugin is overkill for doing that, yes you can do it anyways.

## FAQ:
\n– The plugin is spamming my logs with errors
\n – Uh-oh! Please report the issue (preferably on discord, but github works too) so that it can be fixed
\n– (Server-side) Fabric support?
\n – This is planned, and significant overhauls in v2 have made this easier.
\n– Folia support?
\n – Also planned.<\/p>\n
## Known issues:
\n– Due to the nature of the plugin, there will be a short delay once an entity should be visible before it appears, causing it to appear like it “popped” into view. This issue is partially resolved by turning engine-mode to 2.
\n– Translated display entities are shown and hidden based on their actual location, not where they render.<\/p>\n
