AdvancedBan vs AdvancedSensitiveWords

AdvancedSensitiveWords is a free, open-source moderation plugin for operators of Minecraft servers running Paper. It inspects content through DFA word matching and event-based checks across chat, commands, writable books, signs, anvil results, item names and lore, player names, and optionally broadcasts. Operators can replace or cancel matched content and configure responses such as commands, damage, effects, hostile behavior, or shadowbans. Version 2.x targets Paper 1.21.11 and requires Java 21; installation involves placing a released or locally built Paper artifact in the server’s plugins directory. Optional LLM chat review is off by default and uses a compatible provider and API key to assess messages missed by the other checks. Length, entropy, cooldown, concurrency, and queue safeguards apply. Requests and responses are recorded locally in an llm-history directory identified as sensitive operational data. Optional integrations include Velocity, TrChat, PacketEvents, PlaceholderAPI, Floodgate, and AuthMe. Velocity support handles notifications and proxy commands, not chat filtering.
