LibertyBans
by A248
LibertyBans is a punishment management mod for Fabric that handles bans, mutes, warns and kicks, covering both IP and player-based punishments.
What it does
Staff can ban, unban, mute, unmute, warn, unwarn and kick players, including IP-based variants of each action. Punishments can be temporary, and player data is stored against UUIDs. Listing commands show active bans, the mute list, a player's warnings and the punishments a given staff member has enacted.
Automatic enforcement is included to block alternate accounts: by default an IP ban also covers alts that join from the same address, and the behavior can be made stricter through alt-checking settings. A manual alts command is available as well. LibertyBans is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later. It runs on Paper, Spigot, Bukkit, Purpur, Folia, Sponge, Velocity, BungeeCord and Waterfall, and builds exist for 1.8.8 – 26.3.
Key features
Bans, mutes and warns
Each punishment type has a matching command pair for removal, such as ban and unban or mute and unmute.
IP-based punishments
Ban, mute, warn and kick actions can target a player's IP address in addition to the account.
Temporary punishments
Bans, mutes and warnings can be set to expire after a chosen duration.
Punishment history views
Commands list active bans, the mute list, a player's warnings and the punishments issued by a staff member.
Alt account blocking
Alternate accounts are blocked automatically when they share an address with a banned account, and the strictness is configurable.

What the author says
LibertyBans is the sparkling and extraordinary weapon of punishment administration. The existing punishment plugins all have their flaws. Either they are plagued with bugs and concurrency issues, or they are closed-source and pay-walled, or both.
