hi Pryaxis, it seems there are some shortcomings, the item stack (duplicate item) anti-cheat system only functions to detect stacks of coins, but does not function to detect duplicate items

hi Pryaxis, it seems there are some shortcomings, the item stack (duplicate item) anti-cheat system only functions to detect stacks of coins, but does not function to detect duplicate items,I made a terraria mobile server and mobile players mostly use item stack cheats (duplicate items) and god mode cheats, the most annoying thing is they often use stack item cheats

Making anti-cheat is hard, especially if you're not the game's developer. While a decent anti-cheat for Terraria is possible, there is ultimately two major limiting factors. TShock is a community of open-source developers who dedicate their free time to this project, and while some of us receive donations through Patreon or other means, it is ultimately not our full-time job and it is hard to dedicate time to TShock to work on big projects. Another limiting factor is Terraria's network protocol, which is client-first and prone to breaking under strict conditions required by a decent anti-cheat. Some people have developed decent anti-cheat solutions but they're not publicly available(either through source and compiled) because people don't tend to give out expensive things for free

Uh, but it looks like the tshock team can make that anti-cheat system, because the current version already exists even though it has a few shortcomings,They just need to update and add new systems

The current version aims to prevent DoS attacks from exploits in the network protocol. The last change to it is a relatively massive project which prevents almost all exploits surrounding a certain packet. A decent anti-cheat would require a massive rewrite and restructuring of the current system. A "few" shortcomings is an understatement in the larger picture.
