BPVP is effectively invisible. Enforcement must rely on screenshares or server rules explicitly forbidding “visual aid modifications.” 5. Ethical & Competitive Taxonomy We propose a three-tier classification for 1.20.1 PvP server admins.
| Anti-Cheat | Detection Capability | Reason | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | None | BPVP doesn’t alter movement or attack packets. | | Vulcan | None (for HUD features) | Only flags if mod changes cooldown, not displays it. | | Matrix (Old) | False positives possible | Might flag “too fast” reaction, but unenforceable. |
