PunishmentsSystem is a self-hosted moderation tool for applying and reviewing player punishments.
What PunishmentsSystem is
PunishmentsSystem is a self-hosted moderation tool for applying and reviewing player punishments. The /punish command uses preset reasons and durations, helping operators handle repeated offenses consistently. Moderators can use /check to view a player’s punishment history or find a punishment by ID. A charge can be forgiven through /check, while /unban is an alias for forgiving bans. Punishments apply across IP addresses, and /checkip looks up accounts linked to an IP or player. When presets do not fit, /manualpunish issues a punishment while ignoring them. Operators define reasons, punishment types, and durations by offense step in config.json. Documented punishment types are mute, ban, and kick. The README identifies Paper code in the paper branch and lists a GPL-3.0 license. The project is free and self-hosted; its repository does not state a price or trial and provides no support, security, or compliance details.
