PunishmentSystem
What it is
PunishmentSystem is a free, open-source Minecraft plugin for managing player punishments through a graphical interface. Staff can issue bans, temporary bans, mutes, kicks, and unbans, then review player histories in a paginated interface with search, filters, and export options. Version 1.1.0 lists a case system, points system, database, case lookup plugin, and plugin API. Discord notifications can include the punishment type and reason, staff member, duration, timestamp, player information, and server name. Ban-evasion detection tracks player IP addresses, compares banned players with new joiners, alerts staff with the relevant permission, and logs suspected attempts. The README lists EssentialsX integration and compatibility with Paper, Spigot, and Folia. Requirements include Minecraft 1.21 or later, Java 11 or later, and EssentialsX. Bedrock Edition players are supported through a configurable prefix. The README says punishment data uses AES-256 encryption and lists secure key handling, tamper protection, and automatic backups. Installation requires placing the release JAR in the plugins folder, installing EssentialsX, and configuring the generated file. The project uses the GNU General Public License V3.
