In their own words
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. The project is licensed under GNU AGPL-3.0.
ModGUI
ModGUI is a self-hosted moderation plugin for Paper servers, with graphical tools for player punishments, investigations, and reports. Server staff can configure punishment types, icons, permissions, console commands, and durations; punishment actions can work with LiteBans, AdvancedBan, EssentialsX, and other punishment plugins. Its investigate screen can display a player’s current-session anticheat flags through optional GrimAC integration. Staff can attach notes to players, and players can submit reports with /report and optional severity levels. Discord webhooks can send punishment logs, anticheat alerts, reports, and staff notes, with optional role pings. A recovery compass opens the investigate GUI when right-clicked. Configuration covers GUI borders, messages, webhook URLs, GrimAC thresholds, ignored checks, and report cooldowns. ModGUI requires Paper 1.21.11 or newer; GrimAC is needed for anticheat flag tracking. Installation involves adding the JAR to the server’s plugins folder, restarting, configuring files, and running /modgui reload. It is free under the MIT License.
