## RayTraceAntiXray<\/p>\n

**RayTraceAntiXray** is a **Paper \/ Folia server-side plugin** that extends Paper Anti-Xray when using **`engine-mode: 1`**.<\/p>\n

Paper\u2019s Anti-Xray hides ores based on whether nearby blocks are considered \u201cexposed.\u201d Ores that are **open to air** (e.g. in caves or on exposed faces) may **not** be treated as hidden the same way. This plugin adds **server-side ray tracing** so visibility can be evaluated more tightly for those cases, while still working **with** Paper\u2019s obfuscation pipeline\u2014not against it.<\/p>\n

### Requirements<\/p>\n

| Requirement | Notes |
\n|————-|——–|
\n| **Paper** (or **Folia**) | Only 1.21.11, open an issue on github if you want a build for another minecraft version |
\n| **Anti-Xray `engine-mode: 1`** | Required for the integration model this plugin uses. |
\n| **PacketEvents** | Must be installed on the server; this fork hooks outgoing chunk-related traffic via PacketEvents (not Protocollib). |<\/p>\n

### Installation (recommended order)<\/p>\n

1. Install and run a compatible **Paper** (or **Folia**) version.
\n2. Configure **Paper Anti-Xray** with **`engine-mode: 1`** and restart so settings apply.
\n3. Install **PacketEvents**.
\n4. Install **RayTraceAntiXray** and edit `plugins\/RayTraceAntiXray\/config.yml` as needed.
\n5. **Restart** the server after changes. Avoid `\/reload` and avoid enabling\/disabling this plugin through plugin managers on a live server \u2014 lifecycle and hooks expect a clean restart.<\/p>\n

### Configuration recommendations<\/p>\n

– You can find the Recommended RayTraceAntiXray settings by stonar96 (the orginal plugin owner) here.<\/p>\n

### Performance notes<\/p>\n

– Work scales with **player count**, **view\/radius settings**, and **how busy chunk sending is**. Treat CPU usage as **normal** for this class of plugin.
\n– Start with **conservative** ray-trace distance \/ tick settings and increase only if your hardware and tick times allow it.<\/p>\n

### Limitations (honest expectations)<\/p>\n

– The visibility \/ culling logic is **not** a perfect Minecraft client simulation; it trades some accuracy for server performance (same general idea as upstream documentation).
\n– **Reloading** this plugin on the fly is **not** supported \u2014 plan for **full restarts** when updating configuration or the jar.<\/p>\n

### License<\/p>\n

Source is covered by the project **`LICENSE`** (typically MIT for upstream code). Third-party downloads must comply with that license and any notices required by its terms.<\/p>\n
