VoteKick
by HiSierra
VoteKick lets players collectively remove a disruptive player from a server through a vote, instead of waiting for an operator to act.
What it does
VoteKick is a social and management mod for Fabric and NeoForge. A vote to kick a player is started and cast with commands, and the result is applied on the server once the vote passes. Votes show live progress bars and counts on the client, so every participant can follow the outcome as it changes. Fabric API is required on both loaders, and Mod Menu is optional for opening the settings screen from its list of installed mods.
The mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Its permissions are set by nodes: votekick.start lets a player open a vote, votekick.vote lets a player cast one, votekick.admin allows admin commands and votekick.exempt protects a player from being vote-kicked. Without a permissions API, defaults apply from the server config, set to operator level 0 to 2. Builds cover 1.20.1 – 1.21.11 on Fabric and NeoForge, released under the MIT License as open source.
Key features
Vote-based kick
Players start a vote, others cast yes or no, and the player is removed only when the vote passes.

Cooldowns and immunity periods limit harassment through repeated vote spam.
Live vote tracking
Progress bars and vote counts update in real time on screen while a vote is open.
Keyboard voting
Pressing F1 votes yes and F2 votes to keep the player, with no command typed.

VoteListener is server-side only, open source under the MIT License, and covers 1.20 – 26.3 on Fabric and Quilt. PvP Vote is server-side only, open source under the MIT License, and built for 1.21.11 on Fabric alone.

What the author says
A democratic voting system that allows players to collectively remove disruptive players from the server through a clean, fair voting process. Requires the votekick.admin permission (or op level configured in permissions_admin_default_level). cancel ends the active vote without a kick; force ends it as passed.
