Enable Anti-Xray on your Minecraft Paper Server
In this guide, we will show you how to enable Anti-Xray in the Minecraft PaperMC settings and explain the differences between engine mode 1 and engine mode 2. Following this guide requires you to have PaperMC as your server type.

Select Engine Mode

- Decide whether to use engine-mode 1 or engine-mode 2 for your server. Here’s a quick explanation of both modes:
- engine-mode: 1: Replaces specified blocks (hidden-blocks) with fake blocks based on the dimension (stone, deepslate, netherrack, or end_stone).
- Only ores covered by solid blocks will be hidden.
- This mode is less computationally intensive on the client side.
- engine-mode: 2: Replaces both hidden-blocks and replacement-blocks with randomly generated hidden-blocks.
- Fake ores obstruct the view of real blocks.
- This mode may better prevent Xray, but can cause client performance issues (FPS drops) for some players.
- 1 Set the
engine-mode
value to your preferred mode (either 1 or 2). - Click the 2 Save Content button to save your changes to the
paper-world-defaults.yml
file.
Restart the Server
- Restart your Minecraft server for the changes to take effect.
- With Anti-Xray enabled and configured, your server will now be more secure against players using Xray hacks.
- Keep in mind that Anti-Xray is not foolproof, and additional measures (such as anti-cheat plugins) can further help protect your server.
