Minecraft Moderation Plugins
Alternatives to ModGUI
ModGUI is a free, self-hosted moderation plugin for Paper servers that puts punishment, investigation, notes, and reports into GUI workflows. Staff can configure punishment types, icons, permissions, console commands, and durations, while compatible punishment plugins receive those actions. The investigation GUI can show current-session GrimAC flags, and Discord webhooks can log punishments, anticheat alerts, reports, and staff notes. Players submit reports with /report, with optional severity levels.

Choosing instead of ModGUI
Its fit is narrower than some alternatives. ModGUI requires Paper 1.21.11 or newer, and GrimAC is additionally required for anticheat flag tracking. It does not provide the network-wide proxy enforcement, dedicated detection system, or self-hosted web interface offered by some options here. Compare supported server platforms and versions, shared databases or synchronization, and whether your staff need a focused GUI, broader punishment administration, specialized anticheat controls, or a report queue. Pricing is straightforward: ModGUI is free under the MIT License, so the main switching questions concern scope, compatibility, storage, and workflow.
