# Orebfuscator - Anti X-Ray
[](https://github.com/Imprex-Development/Orebfuscator/releases/latest) [](https://github.com/Imprex-Development/Orebfuscator/actions?query=workflow%3ABuild)
Orebfuscator empowers server owners to protect their server from X-Ray Clients and Texture Packs, all while offering a high degree of configurability. This is achieved through modifying network packets without altering your game world, guaranteeing a secure and reliable experience for users. With Orebfuscator, you can tailor the settings to suit your server's needs, ensuring precise control over the visibility of specific blocks. This means that not only does Orebfuscator safeguard your world's integrity, but it also empowers you to fine-tune your Anti-X-Ray measures for the best gameplay experience.
### Features
* Seamless Integration: Plug & Play functionality for effortless use.
* Extensive Configuration: Highly customizable settings to tailor the experience to your liking.
* Server Compatibility: Designed for Spigot-based servers 1.16 and newer.
* Block Obfuscation: Conceal non-visible blocks from players' view.
* Block-Entity Support: Hide block entities such as Chests and Furnaces.
* Dynamic Block Visibility: Adjust block visibility based on player proximity and distance.
### Requirements
* Java 17 or higher
* Spigot, Paper, Folia or compatible forks (1.16 or newer)
* [ProtocolLib](https://github.com/dmulloy2/ProtocolLib/) 5.2.0 or later
### Installation
1. Download [ProtocolLib](https://github.com/dmulloy2/ProtocolLib/releases)
2. Download [Orebfuscator](https://github.com/Imprex-Development/Orebfuscator/releases)
3. Place both plugins in your _plugins_ directory
4. Start your server and [configure Orebfuscator](https://github.com/Imprex-Development/Orebfuscator/wiki/Config) to your liking
## Version Support Policy
### Supported Minecraft Versions
Orebfuscator follows a **rolling support window** for Minecraft versions.
Starting with **Minecraft 27.x**, Orebfuscator will officially support **only the two most recent major Minecraft releases**.
Example:
| Latest Minecraft Version | Supported Versions |
|--------------------------|--------------------|
| 27.x | 27.x and 26.x |
| 28.x | 28.x and 27.x |
When a new major Minecraft version is released, the oldest supported version will be dropped in a future Orebfuscator release.
Older versions may still work but are **not guaranteed to receive fixes or compatibility updates**.
### Testing Policy
Testing policy differs depending on the Minecraft release cycle.
**Until Minecraft 27.x**
Each Orebfuscator release is tested against all supported Minecraft versions on PaperMC and Spigot with the following exceptions:
- 1.17.x
- 1.18.x
- 1.19.x
The following versions are still included in testing:
- 1.16.5
- 1.20.x and newer supported releases
**After Minecraft 27.x**
Testing will focus on the **latest Minecraft major version only** for each Orebfuscator release.
Other versions within the support window may remain compatible but will not necessarily be tested for every release.
Servers running untested versions may still function, but issues specific to those versions may not be prioritized.
### Legacy support
For compatibility with Java 11 or Minecraft 1.9.4 and later, you can use any legacy release prior to version 5.5.0. Please note that these legacy releases will no longer receive regular support or updates. However, they may receive critical security and vulnerability patches if necessary.
Still having trouble getting Orebfuscator to run check out our [common issues](https://github.com/Imprex-Development/Orebfuscator/wiki/Common-Issues).
