⚠️ Current state of the project

I (xxneox) am basically the only maintainer of this project. I don't have time to work on it anymore, so it's only getting bugfixes and important changes. Support is only given for important issues. This repository might get archived at any time.

🔧 Using EpicGuard API in your project:

The api is not very advanced, and there is not much you can do with it for now.

Gradle (Groovy)
repositories {
    maven {
      url = 'https://jitpack.io'
    }
}

dependencies {
    compileOnly 'com.github.xxneox:EpicGuard:[VERSION OR COMMIT ID HERE]'
}
Gradle (Kotlin)
repositories {
    maven("https://jitpack.io")
}

dependencies {
    compileOnly("com.github.xxneox:EpicGuard:[VERSION OR COMMIT ID HERE]")
}
Maven
<repositories>
   <repository>
     <id>jitpack.io</id>
     <url>https://jitpack.io</url>
   </repository>
</repositories>

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
       <groupId>com.github.xxneox</groupId>
       <artifactId>EpicGuard</artifactId>
       <version>[VERSION OR COMMIT ID HERE]</version>
       <scope>provided</scope>
   </dependency>
</dependencies>
Using the API Make sure that EpicGuard is fully loaded before your plugin.

// Importing the API class.
import me.xneox.epicguard.core.EpicGuardAPI;
import me.xneox.epicguard.core.manager.AttackManager;

public class EpicGuardAPIExample {
  // Accessing the EpicGuardAPI instance.
  EpicGuardAPI api = EpicGuardAPI.INSTANCE;

  // Obtaining the AttackManager instance:
  AttackManager attackManager = api.attackManager();

  // Checking if server is under attack.
  boolean isUnderAttack = attackManager.isUnderAttack();

  // checking current connections per second.
  int cps = attackManager.connectionCounter();
  
  // Checking user's country:
  String countryId = api.geoManager().countryCode("127.0.0.1");
}

    • In the default configuration, IP addresses of connecting users are sent to https://proxycheck.io/ to check if they're not using a proxy or a VPN.
    • IPs and nicknames associated with them are stored in the local database (as plain text(!)).
    • This plugin periodically checks the latest version released in this repository. This feature can be disabled.
    • There is no metrics system or any other kind of data collection.
