Deepgrounds Server Tools
by Deepie
Deepgrounds Server Tools gives server staff a set of moderation commands, including a warn system with automatic bans and a mute effect, for a Forge server running 1.20.1.
What it does
Moderators can be added, removed, checked and listed with a command branch. A moderator can warn a player, check the reasons and warn count recorded for that player, and remove a warning by mistake. Warnings are stored in the world's database, and every warning is announced to the whole server so players know the consequences of breaking the rules. A player who reaches 10 warnings is banned automatically, and a second chat message reminds players of that limit as they approach it. The threshold is fixed in this version and is not yet configurable.
A moderator can wipe a player's crime history, and can mute a player who is speaking in a disturbing manner. Mutes are applied through a potion effect, which blocks placing signs and writing books while the player can still talk through building structures. Drinking milk or another modded item clears the effect, and it also ends when the player disconnects or dies. The mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under the MIT License, but the code is not open source. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, with 1.5.19.1 as the latest file.
Key features
Moderator command branch
Moderators are managed with commands to add, remove, check and list them, which keeps staff access on a server in one place.
Warn system with auto-ban
Warnings are recorded per player, announced server-wide and turned into a ban once a player reaches 10.
Lightning strike tool
Moderators receive a tool that strikes a target with lightning, with a 30-minute cooldown and a 20-block distance limit.
Armor repair command
A command repairs the armor parts of a player by a set amount, and the player is notified after each repair.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
How it compares
The Best Login is client and server and open source under the MIT License, covering login for 1.20.1. SAuth is server-side only, so players join without installing it, and it is also under the MIT License for 1.20.1. Defaults Commands Without Plugins is All rights reserved, and either side can run it without needing it. Deepgrounds Server Tools differs from each of these in what it moderates rather than in environment, since it is the only one here with warnings and mutes.
