Check that it works

A one-minute sanity check: /mlsac status, the status in the dashboard, a live test, and the usual problems.

3 min

/mlsac status

Type /mlsac status in game (needs mlsac.command.status, which operators have) or mlsac status in the console.

What /mlsac status prints

The plugin’s real texts

● MLSAC status ●

Backend link: online

Address: https://api.mlsac.net

Preset: main (active)

Detections today: 14

Requests today: 52310

Round trip: 38 ms (5/5 probes answered)

Line	Healthy	If not
Backend link	online	“offline”: check the key and that the server can reach the internet. “over the request limit”: you’re out of requests for today.
Preset	main (active)	“not active”: the name doesn’t match the site. “auto”: the account doesn’t have exactly one preset.
Detections and requests today	numbers	“-”: the counters didn’t load, try again in a bit.
Round trip	green under 50 ms, yellow under 150 ms	Red: the route to the backend is slow. Detection still works, the answers just come later.

Status in the dashboard

“Servers” → card → “Connection”. “The plugin is connected — all set” means the server is using this key. “The plugin has never connected yet” means the key isn’t in, or there was no mlsac reload after you added it.

The server was offline. The plugin connected and the card came alive: a green dot and players online.

Testing it in a fight

/mlsac alerts turns on chat alerts. /mlsac monitor prob <name> puts the model’s confidence, the buffer and VL above your hotbar and updates them twice a second. Staff see the holograms over suspects anyway.

Alerts in a moderator’s chat mid-fight, recorded on our test server: “Failed check (Aim-AI: …)” for each confident check, then “Got VL 1”.

Common problems

What you see	What to do
`Detection: off (API key default placeholder)`	No key yet: API key.
`The backend refused the API key`	The key is wrong or was reset. Copy it again from the “Connection” tab.
`Cannot reach https://api.mlsac.net … Retrying in the background.`	The server couldn’t reach the backend. The plugin keeps retrying and falls back to the backup address. Check that your host allows outgoing HTTPS.
Chat says “No config preset is installed!”	See Your first preset.
No holograms	You need `mlsac.notify.alerts` (or `mlsac.alerts`, `mlsac.admin`). Folia has no holograms. More in Holograms.
`/mlsac` says you lack permission	Grant the node you need, like `mlsac.command.status`, or the old all-in-one `mlsac.admin`.
