Security is a top priority at CrestMC. To ensure a fair and competitive environment for all players, we are excited to announce the deployment of Vulcan Vanguard — our new, intelligent anti-cheat layer designed to detect and deter unfair gameplay with unmatched precision.
What is Vulcan Vanguard?
Vulcan Vanguard isn't just a standard anti-cheat. It's a behavioral analysis system that monitors gameplay patterns in real-time. Unlike traditional systems that just kick players, Vulcan is now integrated with our new Progressive Punishment System.
How Autobans Work
Vulcan now operates on a violation threshold. If a player exceeds a certain number of flagged actions within a short window, the system will automatically issue a ban. No manual intervention required — the system protects the server 24/7.
🛡️ Progressive Punishment Tiers
We believe in deterrence. Every time Vulcan catches a violation, the penalty increases:
| Violation Count | Ban Duration |
|---|---|
| 1st Punishment | 5 Minutes |
| 2nd Punishment | 10 Minutes |
| 3rd Punishment | 30 Minutes |
| 4th Punishment | 1 Hour |
| 5th+ Punishment | 1 Day |
Zero Tolerance Policy
While minor violations result in progressive bans, severe exploits and blatant hacks will still result in Permanent Bans without appeal. We are committed to keeping CrestMC clean for the 2,000+ players who play fairly every day.
Stay safe, stay fair, and see you in the wilderness!
