Questions? Answered.

What is the difference between the Annual Subscription and the Annual Purchase?

Both give you the exact same Spartan for the same price. The Annual Subscription (Stripe) renews automatically every year so your protection never lapses, and you can cancel anytime. The Annual Purchase (PayPal) is a single payment that covers one year: we never charge you again automatically, you simply choose whether to renew when the year is up.

How do I get Spartan after I pay?

After paying with PayPal, Stripe or Tebex, open a conversation with us on BuiltByBit and attach your proof of purchase. We usually reply within hours with your downloadable license. The full steps are in the activation guide.

What does my server need to run Spartan?

Good single-core CPU performance, 384MB+ of RAM for Spartan and a server TPS of 19 or more. Check the system requirements for the details.

Can I try Spartan before buying it?

Yes! Spartan is free for servers with 5 players or less. Download it from Modrinth, test it on your server and upgrade whenever you are ready.

Does Spartan protect Bedrock players too?

Yes. Spartan natively detects cheats from both Java and Bedrock (via Geyser) players at the same time, so a single plugin covers your whole community.

Which Minecraft versions are supported?

Every version from 1.7 up to the latest release, with updates guaranteed for new Minecraft versions.

Will it flag my legitimate players?

No anti-cheat is perfect, which is why Spartan is highly configurable so you can tune it to your server's gameplay. If a false positive ever slips through, report it to our human support team on BuiltByBit. Reviewers regularly mention fixes arriving within hours.

How do I get help?

Start with the documentation, then ask our AI support on Discord any time. If you want a real person, our human support team is available on BuiltByBit.

Which payment methods can I use?

Stripe (cards and supported wallets) for the annual subscription, PayPal for the annual purchase, and Tebex or Paddle if you prefer them.

I bought Spartan on SpigotMC. Can I transfer for free?

Yes. If you purchased on SpigotMC less than a year ago, your transfer to BuiltByBit is free. Request it on Discord and you will not need to buy again.
