In their own words
BanManager
BanManager is a free, open-source suite of moderation plugins and apps for Minecraft servers. It supports bans, IP blocks, mutes, profane-name blocking, and chat moderation that can include shadow muting. Players can report behavior while staff are offline, then staff can track and resolve reports. Configurable warning thresholds can trigger commands with increasing severity. Staff can add notes and review player records, including unbans and who issued them. Downloads are listed for Bukkit variants, BungeeCord, Fabric, Sponge, and Velocity. Data can be stored locally in H2 or remotely with MySQL or MariaDB. The optional self-hosted WebUI adds appeals, reports, role-based permissions, and a dashboard for one or more servers. That interface requires BanManager-WebEnhancer and MySQL 5+ or MariaDB 10+; the default H2 database is unsupported. Its setup page is initially unauthenticated, so the documentation recommends setting a setup token before exposing it to the internet. A developer API lets other plugins read or modify punishment data and receive change events.
Player Report
Player Report is a free, self-hosted plugin for handling player reports on Minecraft servers. Players can submit a report with /report, with optional reason selection and confirmation through GUIs. Moderators review reports in-game, change statuses, assign handlers, and search or sort reports by player, ID, reason, or handler. They can teleport to involved players or saved locations and remove reports. Servers can optionally reward confirmed reports with commands or items; rewards can be stored while players are offline and claimed with /reports claim. The plugin supports Discord webhooks for report and update events, as well as PlaceholderAPI statistics and integrations. Reports and pending rewards can be stored in local YAML files or MySQL/MariaDB. Configuration includes report limits, cooldowns, reason modes, retention settings, and options for features, messages, and visuals. The resource lists Minecraft 1.21 as its native and tested major version and says it supports Folia. It is offered as a 4.6 MB .jar download. Aevox is named as its author, and its first release date is Apr 25, 2016.
