Set Up Silent Sentry to Report Cheats Without Auto-Punishing

Start in Report-Only Mode

When you first enable Silent Sentry Protection Plugin, keep all punishments set to report-only. This lets you observe real alerts during normal gameplay without accidentally kicking or banning honest players.

Configure Your Thresholds

1. Open your plugin configuration file

2. Locate the violation level settings for each detection category (movement, combat, world, packet, inventory)

3. Set punishments to report or log instead of kick or ban

4. Adjust sensitivity thresholds gradually—start conservative to reduce false positives

5. Run /bsac reload to apply changes without restarting your server

Monitor Alerts

Use /movealerts and /xrayalerts to see notifications in chat as they happen. Watch for patterns over several days of normal gameplay. If you see legitimate players triggering alerts repeatedly, lower those thresholds further.

Once you're confident the plugin distinguishes cheaters from honest players, you can enable automatic kicks or bans. Always test threshold changes during low-traffic times first.
