In their own words
ExtraBan
ExtraBan is a moderation plugin for self-hosted Paper servers. It gives staff tools to manage bans, freezes, mutes, warnings, player reports, and staff chat. Ban types include permanent, temporary, offline, and IP bans. The freeze system can lock movement and interaction, with an optional mute while frozen; mute and softban can also restrict chat and player actions. Warnings retain their history, and staff can remove the latest warning. A punish GUI includes a duration picker, alongside tools for history, undo, confirmation, and banlists. Players can submit reports for staff to handle in a queue. Data is stored in YAML by default or SQLite, and optional integrations include LuckPerms, PlaceholderAPI, Discord webhook, and bStats. No dependencies are required. ExtraBan is free and open source under the MIT License. It requires Paper or a fork version 26.2+ and Java 25+. Setup uses a JAR, server restart, and staff-permission configuration.
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.
