hackers, the most hated players, as a lot of people still have some issues detecting 'hackers' I'll make a little beginners thread here! Good Luck catching more hackers. 
X-ray: Allows the players to see through walls and find ores, caves and dungeons. Very used on survivor and factions servers. There are hacks, mods and even texture packs that gives X-ray so, unfortunately, it’s really common.
How to detect? If you see a player mining directly to an ore and next he suddenly change their direction when he reach the target, and next he found another ore (diamond for example), that’s a reason to suspect. The easiest way to block X-ray hacks is installing Orebfuscator on your server. Orebfuscator will create fake ores and it will cause a lot of lag to X-ray hackers and they can’t see caves and etc. because their vision will be full of fake ores.
Kill Aura/Forcefield: Kill aura is a deadly hack. It will make you spin very fast, walk around the players and hitting them from far and very fast without failing. There is also another version of this hack called Forcefield, which doesn't make the head spin and it doesn't even need to aim at the player to attack him.
How to detect? It’s very easy to detect. If you see players spinning their heads and hitting fast without failing a single hit, that is kill aura. Even easier to spot if he is fighting more than 1 player, because he will be spinning from one side to another attacking both of the players. Attention: sometimes, if the player is lagging.
Anti-knockback: Self-explanatory. The player does not take any knockback from hits, explosions, arrows, mobs, etc.
How to detect? It’s very easy to detect. Hit a player and if he does not take knockback it’s because he is hacking. Before reporting, I recommend you to see if the player was not lagging, if so it’s hard to know if he is really hacking or just lagging. Also, some servers have minigames where knockback is disabled, so check the games rules before accusing someone of anti-kb.
Anti-Blind: Self-explanatory. It’s only useful on games like Vampire Z, where you receive blind effect.
How to detect? Well, this one is hard to detect. You can try to see if they are running directly to players on Vampire Z or something. If the server does not have Vampire Z or other game that give blind effect, you don’t need to worry about it
Fly: You can fly like if you’re on creative mode.
How to detect? Just open your eyes. If you have a survivor server and you see people flying that’s not normal. The only one problem is the lag, sometimes when the people are lagging they float a bit over the floor, but if they are going up and down and moving without problems that’s surely hacks. If you see the normal walking particles behind their feet when they walk on the air they are probably just lagging.
Fast eat: Self-explanatory. You just right click on the food and you eat it instantly.
How to detect? If the player eat too fast, you can tell that it’s fast eat.
No slowness: You don’t slow down when you are running and eating, drinking potions, charging the bow and sometimes when walking on cobwebs.
How to detect? It’s very easy to detect. Just watch him on PvP. He will have to drink potions or eat, so if he is running and doing it at the same time he is a hacker.
Fast Bow: It makes your bow act like a machine gun. You shot the arrows instantly and very fast.
How to detect? Easy to detect. There aren’t any machine guns on vanilla minecraft, so if you see someone shooting very fast that’s Fast bow hack.
Glide: You glide like if you were using a parachute. This hack is very stupid because you still take the fall damage.
How to detect? In Minecraft there aren’t parachutes, so if you see someone gliding it’s because he is hacking.
Spider: You can climb like a spider.
How to detect? When the people climbs walls without a ladder, they are using Spider hack.
Regeneration: You regenerate your life faster, but normally reduces your hunger faster. You still need to have the hunger bar full to regenerate life. Some hacked clients regenerates your health 100x faster.
How to detect? It’s a little bit hard to detect without using Damage Indicators mod/plugin. If you are using one of them, it’s easy to see that the player does not take almost any damage. If you aren’t using a mod/plugin, you can eat a god apple and try to kill him. If he does not die, probably he is using regen hack. He can be using a God Apple, but in that case he should have particles around him, so you can tell if he is hacking or just using a God apple.
Auto-armor: Automatically equips the best armor on the inventory when a piece of your armor brakes.
How to detect? If you are on PvP and you brake someone armor, he should stop fighting to equip the new armor, right? But if you brake someone armor and a new one appears on the place of the another and the player have not stopped to equip it, that’s probably Auto-armor.
Auto-tool: Automatically changes your hand tool according to the block you are trying to break.
How to detect? Watch the players mining. They should find dirt or gravel underground, and if they don’t stop mining, and they changes from the pickaxe to the shovel very fast (and vice-versa), they are probably using auto-tool. But it’s hard to detect because the two tools can be next to each other on the hot-bar. If you can do /invsee (if you have essentials installed) check if the tools are close to each other. If not, you can suspect that is auto-tool. But there are gaming mouses that have buttons on the side, and they can easily change slots without using hacks. So, for that reason, it's a little bit hard to detect.
Auto-sign: Automatically writes a pre-defined text when you place a sign.
How to detect? If they put signs with a lot of text very fast, you can tell that they’re using auto-sign tool.
Speedmine/Fast break: It makes you mine the blocks very fast, like if you have efficiency X or something.
How to detect? If they are breaking the blocks too much fast, they’re probably using speedmine. The lag can be tricky here, because when you are lagging, the other people see you breaking a lot of blocks very fast, and next you stoping for a while, etc.
Fast fall: It makes you fall from buildings super-fast. You still take the fall damage.
How to detect? If you see people falling from buildings very fast (almost like teleport) you can say that is Fast fall.
No Fall-Damage: Self-explanatory. You don’t take any fall damage.
How to detect? If the players fall from things without getting hurt, they are using No fall-damage.
Auto-Disconnect: It automatically disconnects the player from the server when his life his low.
How to detect? If you are on the middle of a fight and your opponent suddenly disconnects, he can be using auto-disconnect.Also, if you are an Admin, watch the console for disconnect messages like this:”illegal characters in chat”. Some hacked clients (not all of them) make that messages on console. Those people are probably auto disconnect hackers. To prevent this from happening on your server, install a plugin that makes the player lose their items when they disconect in combat (example: Combat log)
Nuker: Automatically breaks blocks around you. It works on survivor and creative.
How to detect? If you see people walking around and the blocks disappearing around her that’s Nuker hack.
Jesus: With this hack you can walk and run on the water.
How to detect? Watch the player and see if he can walk fast on the water.If you are on 1.8 or higher, there is an enchantment (Depth Strider) that can do that, so if the player has enchanted boots it can be a little bit harder to detect. If you can, use /invsee and check if their boots have that enchantment. If not, he is a hacker.
Speed/Sprint: You can move (run, walk and sneak) much faster.
How to detect? First, check if the player don’t have speed potion/effect. If not, watch him walking and running. If he moves very fast, he is using Speed hacks.
Criticals/Crits: Makes all of your hits critical hits, dealing much more damage.
How to detect? It’s hard to detect Crits hack. If you see the player dealing more damage than usual without jumping and hitting, it can be Criticals hack.
Ghost Clients:
Autoclicker: By holding your "LMB" [Left-Mouse-Button] instead of clicking, can modify howmany "CPS" [ClicksPerSecond] you click.
How to detect:
If a player tries potting or eating a gapple but keeps hitting. Otherwise only though primeMC doens't screenshare there are multiple strings that ghost clients or autoclickers use wich can be used in a program called: "Procces Hacker"
[ I have the strings for these clients:
- Vape 2.0
- Vape Lite
- Demon.gg
- other forge based clients.
Aimassist: Let's a player look at a entity without moving their mouse.
How to detect: It's easy to see if you're fighting with multiple people if a players head snaps to another entity.
Reach: adds a number to the amount of "range" you get on an entity while attacking.
How to detect: if it's blatant and you can't hit the other user whil he's above 3 blocks away from you it's probably reach. Try downloading: "Tenebrous' Reach Circle mod" this shows from how far the other player can hit you, adn from how far you can hit them. [This is only visible and doesn't give any advantage, this just let's you know or you're fighting a cheater.
Velocity Modifier: Decreases/increases the amount of knockback you take. (Increasing is kinda stupid).
How to detect: If you're comboing a player and he doesn't take any knockback or just less then another player, gathering proof of this is relatively hard.
More hacks could be suggested here bellow.. thanks you!
