Welcome to RayTraceAntiXray

RayTraceAntiXray is a Paper plugin that extends Paper Anti-Xray engine-mode 1 (HIDE). Paper hides buried ores by replacing them with decoy blocks in chunk packets, but ores exposed to air — on cave walls or in open pockets — remain visible. This plugin closes that gap with server-side async ray tracing.

Why RayTraceAntiXray?

Paper Anti-Xray engine-mode 1 is effective for blocks not adjacent to air. RayTraceAntiXray adds a second layer: when a chunk is sent to a player, air-exposed ore positions are obfuscated immediately, then asynchronously ray-traced from the player's eye. Only blocks with an unobstructed line of sight are revealed via block-update packets.

For supported versions, block entities (e.g. chests) can be fully hidden — see Paper and plugin release notes.
