In their own words
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.
Staff+
Staff+ is a free moderation and utility plugin for Minecraft networks using Paper, Purpur, Folia, or Velocity. It comes in separate Paper and Velocity JARs that can use a shared database, configuration format, and migration system. Both editions handle bans, IP bans, mutes, warnings, punishment history, and staff rollback. Configurable staff weights keep junior staff from changing punishments placed by senior staff or the console. Paper adds vanish, inventory inspection, spectator follow, flight, and gamemode shortcuts, as well as Folia-safe scheduling and asynchronous teleports. Velocity checks bans before players reach a backend and filters muted chat across connected servers. Operators can migrate punishment records from Vanilla and several named moderation tools, and store data in SQLite, MySQL, or MariaDB. The plugin supports Discord webhook logs and a Modrinth update notifier. Both editions collect anonymous bStats metrics, which operators can turn off. It is released under the MIT License.
