Real Banhammer
by Halonium
Real Banhammer lets server staff remove players and mobs with a single strike from a special hammer, leaving a custom message on exit.
What it does
The mod adds a Banhammer item that instantly bans a player it hits, showing a message of the admin's choosing as the player leaves. Non-player entities are removed with one blow as well. Admins with the right permissions can spawn the hammer, and the author notes a command that gives it to a player under the name realbanhammer:black_banhammer for use in a world.
The mod runs on the client and on the server, so both the server and every player need it installed. Its code is open source under the MIT License, and the public source code and issue tracker are linked from its page. Fabric API is required, and files target 1.19.2 – 1.20.1, with the latest file, 0.1.5, built for 1.20.1 on 2023-08-11. Snapshot builds are not published.
Key features
Instant player bans
Striking a player with the Banhammer bans them at once, and the ban can carry a custom exit message.
Single-blow mob removal
Non-player entities are erased from the world with a single hit from the hammer.
Admin-only spawning
Server admins with the right privileges can spawn the Banhammer, so regular players cannot obtain it by default.
Command-based giving
A command gives the black Banhammer to a chosen player, which keeps the item in the hands of staff who need it.
