What no plugin anticheat can see
These cheats only change what the client draws, so the server never gets an odd packet from them. Server settings work against them, not checks.
X-Ray
Shows ores and caves through stone. The fix is to never send the client ores the player can't see: Paper's built-in anti-xray.
Stopping X-RayESP and Tracers
Show players and mobs through walls. The server can hold back entities that are far away, but the client always knows the ones nearby.
Freecam
Detaches the camera to fly through bases and caves. It only sees what the server has already sent to the client.
FullBright
Removes darkness in caves and at night. The server can't see it, and many servers don't ban it anyway.
