Detections | Asphyxia Docs

What Asphyxia looks for, what happens when it finds something, and how to adjust it.

A detection is one specific thing Asphyxia looks for. When one triggers, the player is either banned immediately or given a strike, depending on how conclusive the result is.

Each detection has a config name, used when whitelisting a player and matching the setting on the Configuration page. The “shown as” column is the wording players and admins see in ban reasons and logs.

Ban or strike

If there is no innocent explanation, the player is banned. If the behaviour can have an innocent cause — a bad connection making movement look strange — it produces a strike instead, and strikes build up to a ban. Most detections have settings on the Configuration page; before turning one off, make it less strict or whitelist the affected person.
