📖About LightBans

LightBans

Professional, lightweight moderation plugin for Paper & Spigot servers.


⚡ What is LightBans?

LightBans is a modern, fully-featured punishment management plugin designed to give server administrators complete control over player moderation — without the bloat. Built with performance in mind, LightBans runs fully async database operations so your server's TPS stays untouched.

Whether you're running a small SMP or a large network, LightBans provides every tool you need to keep your community safe.


🛡️ Features

Punishment Types

  • Ban — Permanently or temporarily ban players from your server
  • Temp Ban — Issue time-limited bans with flexible duration formats
  • IP Ban — Ban by IP address to prevent alt account evasion
  • Mute — Silence players permanently or temporarily
  • Temp Mute — Time-limited mutes with remaining time tracking
  • IP Mute — Mute by IP address across all accounts
  • Kick — Instantly remove players from the server
  • Softban — Ban, clear data, kick, and immediately unban a player
  • Blacklist — Permanent, irrevocable blacklist with data removal

📋 Moderation Tools

  • /history <player> — View a player's full punishment history
  • /check <player> — See all currently active punishments
  • /lightbans reload — Hot-reload configuration without restarting

🗄️ Database Support

  • SQLite — Zero-configuration, works out of the box
  • MySQL — Full MySQL support with HikariCP connection pooling for high-performance servers

🎨 Rich Color Support

LightBans supports multiple color formats in all messages:

  • MiniMessage — <red>, <gradient:#ff0000:#00ff00>, <color:#ff6b6b>
  • Legacy — &c, &a, &l, and all classic formatting codes
  • Hex — &#ff6b6b, &#00ccff
  • RGB — rgb(255,107,107)

🔊 Sound Effects

Every punishment type comes with configurable sound effects — toggle them on or off, and customize the sound, volume, and pitch for each action.

📢 Public Broadcasts

Optionally broadcast punishments to the entire server. When a player gets banned, muted, or kicked, everyone knows. Fully configurable and can be disabled per your preference.

🔔 Staff Alerts

Staff members with the lightbans.admin permission receive detailed alerts for every moderation action, including who issued the punishment and why.

✏️ Fully Customizable Messages

Every single message — ban screens, kick screens, mute notifications, staff alerts, error messages, and more — is fully configurable through messages.yml. Personalize every interaction to match your server's brand.
