# VoxaAegis<\/p>\n
VoxaAegis is a layered anti-bot protection system for Minecraft server networks.<\/p>\n
It is built to reduce the impact of join floods, coordinated bot waves, repeated retry swarms, suspicious registration behavior, and abnormal post-join bot sessions through explainable server-side mitigation.<\/p>\n
VoxaAegis does not try to be a DDoS firewall. It is a plugin-layer defense system for Minecraft traffic that helps operators detect, slow down, isolate, challenge, and block bot-like clients before they can damage the player experience.<\/p>\n
## What It Does<\/p>\n
VoxaAegis combines multiple protection layers instead of relying on one simple rate limit.<\/p>\n
Main features:<\/p>\n
– Join flood and burst-rate limiting
\n– Coordinated username, timing, IP, and subnet wave detection
\n– Risk scoring for suspicious usernames, fresh addresses, retry swarms, churn, and offender memory
\n– Quarantine flow for suspicious joins
\n– Fake entry gate \/ screening room for players under review
\n– Adaptive anti-bot challenges
\n– HumanityGate post-join verification
\n– Post-join liveness checks for physics-void and look-only sessions
\n– Client brand, locale, ping, movement, and interaction signal checks
\n– Repeated `\/register` secret wave detection without storing plaintext passwords
\n– Persistent cooldown ledger for restart-safe mitigation memory
\n– Runtime bypass and temporary trust controls
\n– Operator-facing status, stats, diagnostics, event journal, and support dumps<\/p>\n

\n– Purpur
\n– Pufferfish
\n– Spigot best-effort<\/p>\n
\n– BungeeCord \/ Waterfall<\/p>\n
\n– Sponge
\n– Legacy Spigot \/ Paper 1.16.5 – 1.19.4 through the separate legacy jar<\/p>\n
\n– Requires Java 17
\n– Uses the separate `voxa-aegis-legacy-0.3.jar`<\/p>\n
\n– Main recommended runtime: **Paper \/ Purpur \/ Pufferfish**
\n– Sponge is a narrow experimental line and should not be treated as equal to the Paper-family runtime.
\n– BungeeCord \/ Waterfall support exists, but Velocity is the preferred proxy platform.
\n– VoxaAegis is not a replacement for real network-layer DDoS protection.
\n– For very large attacks, use proper hosting protection and a proxy-first architecture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
