ChatSentinel vs Player Report

ChatSentinel is a self-hosted moderation plugin for Minecraft Paper servers. Its local trie filter checks chat and can load word lists for 28 languages, with leet-speak normalization and abbreviation expansion. It can also moderate whispers, signs, books, and anvil renames. Flagged content can be blocked or masked, with configurable escalation to warnings, mutes, or staff alerts. Optional moderation API and LLM review layers can add checks; both are disabled by default, so the local filter can operate without API keys. The first layer uses an OpenAI-compatible moderation endpoint. The second accepts compatible chat-completions providers, including Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM, Azure OpenAI, Together, and Groq. SQLite is the default database, with MySQL and PostgreSQL also supported. An optional PlaceholderAPI integration exposes moderation-related player details as placeholders. The README lists Java 21 or later and a Paper server as requirements. It describes a fail-open pipeline: local filtering remains active if APIs are unreachable, with a configurable timeout before messages pass through. ChatSentinel is free and open source.

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.
