Staff+ vs StaffUltimate

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.
