ReportsGUI vs Staff+

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.

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.
