Simulation first

Open source, precise by design

Rather than relying on bypassable tricks, Grim Anticheat simulates the client and does calculations using cold, hard math. Checks run on Netty threads for a seamless and lag-free experience.

Also supports Folia and MultiPaper.

Built for scale

What makes Grim different?

Grim accounts for every movement change across different Minecraft versions, from legacy 1.8 servers to modern 26.1 networks.

  • Asynchronous movement processing
  • Netty multi-threading
  • Efficient world replication
  • Highly efficient, small performance overhead
  • Ground-breakingly precise player movement replication
  • Lag compensation for all player interactions

The result is precise player replication that can keep up with networks of any size.

Server coverage

Supports the platformsserver owners actually run

Grim supports the platforms server owners actually deploy: Spigot, Paper and Paper forks, Folia, and Fabric. You can run the same movement simulation approach across traditional servers, region-threaded deployments, and modded Fabric environments.
