What PunishmentSystem is
PunishmentSystem is a free, open-source Minecraft server plugin for managing player punishments through a graphical interface. It supports bans, temporary bans, mutes, kicks, and unbans, and keeps searchable punishment history with filters, pagination, and export options. Version 1.1.0 also lists a case system and points system. Discord notifications can report the punishment type and reason, staff member, duration, timestamp, player information, and server name. For ban evasion detection, the plugin tracks IP addresses, compares banned players with new joiners, alerts staff with the relevant permission, and logs suspected attempts. It lists integrations with EssentialsX and a separate case lookup plugin with an API. The README names Paper, Spigot, or Folia, Minecraft 1.21 or later, Java 11 or later, and EssentialsX as requirements. Bedrock Edition players are supported through a configurable prefix. Punishment data is described as AES-256 encrypted, with secure key handling, tamper protection, and automatic backups. Installation involves placing the release JAR in the server's plugins folder, installing EssentialsX, and configuring the generated file.
