ExtraBan vs ReportsGUI

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.

ReportsGUI is a self-hosted Minecraft plugin for handling player reports and administering punishments. Staff can report, kick, ban, warn, mute or freeze players. The /reports command shows up to 54 unhandled reports, while /profile displays player information and lets staff issue punishments even without an active report. Team chat is available through /teamchat: logged-in staff can send staff-only messages using @tc or @teamchat. Staff must be logged into Teamchat to receive report and warning notifications and to manage reports and punishments. The listing identifies Minecraft 1.17 as the plugin’s native major version and provides a 422.5 KB JAR download. It says other languages can be used if users translate them themselves. A public GitHub repository is linked, with an invitation to fork, download and edit the project with credit to the author. ReportsGUI costs nothing. Its configuration has a specific limit: adding more than 27 report reasons will cause the plugin to break.
