Not at the moment. Less players play on 1.8 so they need to gather data over a longer period of time to make up for it so the anti cheat will run smoother.
Where did you get that from ?
I wasn't aware of that...
If you don't know and when making speculations please say "I believe that"/"I think"
The reason I have for the anti-cheat coming out later for 1.8 is because the minecraft mechanics are different, meaning we can't apply the 1.9 anti-cheat to the 1.8 server, a 1.8 version of sentinel also has to be made (or has been made) and I believe they wanted to release the 1.9 version as soon as it was finished and not wait until the 1.8 version was finished, for more clarification on this matter you can ask

This anti-cheat seems grea- oh. I can't play any fkin game without getting kicked for "anti kb". I'm not using anti knockback, i'm using optifine and that's it.
Fix your anti cheat. I'd also like to add, the day I logged in and saw "BEWARE: THE SENTINEL IS WATCHING", there was a kid in ffa flying. Flying. Not a mod, he was multi auring too. His username I don't exactly remember, it was "trump" something, and he had a pepe skin. But this isn't a report, it's a complaint. I legit get kicked from a ffa map about 10 times each map I join. This is quite a pain when they instantly fill up to 40/40 when i leave. In eggwars, I like to get the max gear possible, and it's a LOT of work defending my island and sitting on dia gens. When I'm FINALLY done, I run up and begin to fight, but NOPE. They win because I get kicked for fkin "Anti knockback." This happens to plenty of people too. FIX. THE. ANTICHEAT.
Sentinel detects players that have been hacking and bans them in daily waves as mentioned in the main post by

We work with two anti-cheats :
Look at it this way, you are a hacker, a student cheating on a test.
Our older Anti-Cheat is the Teacher, if the teacher catches you, you get sent out of class right away
Sentinel is the security camera, he watches you throughout the whole test and counts the amount of times you cheat, at the end of the test every cheater gets sent out of class by it in one "ban wave" basically all the cheaters that the teacher missed.
As the security camera has more evidence, it is more reliable than the teacher.
You are complaining about getting kicked by the old anti-cheat, but haven't been banned by Sentinel, as you where not hacking.
There have been very recent fixes to the anti-cheat to stop you from getting kicked, we need to know what you where doing that got you kicked in order to fix them...
TLDR : For us to improve the anti-cheat please send us video evidence of you being kicked, it helps a lot!
