Warden is an all-in-one staff moderation plugin for Minecraft servers. It gives your moderation team everything they need in a single, lightweight plugin: punishments, investigation tools, player reports, staff utilities, rank management, and persistent storage, all backed by SQLite so nothing is lost on restart.
Why Warden?
Most servers cobble together several plugins to handle moderation. Warden replaces them with one cohesive system: shared staff chat, a report queue, watchlists, audit logging, full punishment history, and in-game rank tools, with no external database setup required.
Features
Punishments & Enforcement
- Ban / Unban / Kick: Standard punishment tools with history tracking.
- Mute / Unmute: Silences players; action bar feedback keeps muted players informed.
- Freeze / Unfreeze: Locks players in place during investigations.
- Warnings: Issue formal warnings with configurable auto-mute after a threshold.
- Warning management: View and clear a player's warning history.
Investigation Tools
- Punishment history: Full per-player record.
- Player & IP lookup: Inspect player data and linked IPs.
- Watchlists: Flag players of interest; staff are notified when watched players join.
- Staff notes: Attach private notes to players for team communication.
Staff Utilities
- Staff chat: Private channel for moderation team via root subcommand.
- Spy mode: Monitor player activity.
- Broadcasts: Server-wide announcements.
- Maintenance mode: Block non-staff joins during maintenance.
- Reports: Players submit reports; staff close them from the same root command flow.
Rank System
- Unlimited ranks: Create and edit ranks in-game.
- GUI rank editor: Create, edit, and delete ranks with operator-only GUI controls.
- Display control: Configure rank display for tab, chat, and nametags.
- Inheritance and permissions: Define permission lists and inheritance chains per rank.
Admin Tools
- reload: Reload plugin configuration.
- version: Display current plugin version.
- debug: Toggle debug mode.
