ThunderBansThe Complete GUI Punishment Suite for Minecraft Servers
Ban. Mute. Warn. Appeal. Report. All from one clean menu — across your whole network.
Why ThunderBans?Most punishment plugins make your staff memorize a wall of commands. ThunderBans doesn't. Type /punish <player> and everything — the punishment type, reason, and duration — happens in a fast, clean menu. New staff are productive on day one, and your veterans move faster than ever.
Under the hood it's built for real networks: instant cross-server sync over BungeeCord and Velocity, shared MySQL storage, a modular addon system, and deep Discord integration. One plugin, every moderation tool your server needs.
Feature Highlights
Full GUI Flow — punish, review history, manage warns, notes, reports & appeals without touching a command line.
Every Punishment Type — ban, tempban, IP-ban, mute, tempmute, IP-mute, shadow mute, kick, warn, blacklist & competitive ban.
Auto-Escalating Ladders — 1st offense = 1h mute, 2nd = 1d, 3rd = 7d ban... fully configurable, applied automatically.
Warn Thresholds — auto-punish when a player hits X active warnings.
True Network Sync — Bungee & Velocity bridges included; punishments propagate instantly.
MySQL & SQLite — HikariCP pooling for big networks, zero-config SQLite for single servers.- 🕵️ Alt Detection — instantly list every account on a player's IP.
VPN / Proxy Detection — alert staff or auto-kick on join. No API key required, fails open so real players are never blocked.
Bulletproof Mutes — blocks chat AND 20+ bypass commands (/msg, /r, /party, /mail...). Shadow mutes included.
Staff Toolkit — reports, private staff notes, full lookup/history, per-staff punishment stats.
Readable Punishment IDs — every punishment gets a clean ID (e.g. TBN-A1B2C3D) players use to appeal.
Premium & Cracked Support — auto-detects online-mode; stable UUIDs survive name changes.
Deep Discord Webhooks — fully custom embeds for every event, with pings, player heads & placeholders.
6 Built-In Languages — EN, ES, DE, FR, PT & AR, with full MiniMessage formatting. (Note : Not all languages are 100% translated atm)
PlaceholderAPI — expose punishment data to scoreboards, tab & more.
Modular Addons — web panel, public appeals site, voice-chat mutes & a staff utilities pack (see below).
Non-Destructive Config — smart config with every setting customization easily
Every Punishment Type You Need| Type | Commands |
| Ban | /ban, /tempban, /reban |
| IP Ban | /ipban, /tempipban |
| Mute | /mute, /tempmute, /remute |
| IP Mute | /ipmute, /tempipmute |
| Shadow Mute | /shadowmute, /shadowtempmute — the player never knows |
| Kick | /kick |
| Warn | /warn, /removewarn, /checkwarns |
| Blacklist | /blacklist, /unblacklist — the harshest tier, cannot be appealed |
| Competitive Ban | /cban, /ctempban, /cunban — bans from competitive play only |
Command flags: -s silent (staff-only), -p public, -ip / -noip to control IP punishment per command.
Modular Add-Ons Important: Add-ons are sold separately. The features below only work once you own and install the matching add-on. The core ThunderBans plugin works fully on its own without them.Everything your staff team uses daily, in one pack:
- StaffChat (/sc) — private cross-staff channel with a custom format.
- ClearChat (/cc) — wipe chat for everyone (with staff bypass).
- Broadcast (/bc) — styled server-wide announcements.
- MuteChat (/mutechat) — global chat-lock toggle.
- Chat Filter & Anti-Spam — blocked words, cooldowns, duplicate-message blocking.
- Freeze (/freeze) — freeze suspected cheaters: blocks movement, commands, building & damage, with optional glow, action-bar reminders, and a staff alert or auto-ban if they log out while frozen.
A full browser control panel for your staff:
- Staff sign in with /tbans login — the plugin DMs a one-time code. No passwords to manage.
- Review appeals, resolve reports, look up & lift punishments, and enable/disable any command — all from the browser.
- Access is scoped to each staff member's in-game permissions and re-checked every minute. Demote someone in-game and their panel session drops automatically.
A polished public site where punished players appeal on their own:
- Players enter their punishment ID, see the details, submit an appeal, and check back for the decision.
- Fully brandable — server name, logo, accent colors, Discord button, and every line of text.
- Anti-abuse built in: per-IP rate limiting, minimum message length, one open appeal per punishment, and read-only mode.
- Choose exactly what players see, and let staff review anonymously as a configurable "Appeals Team" identity.
- Includes a staff review page.
- Integrates with Simple Voice Chat: any ThunderBans mute (mute / tempmute / ipmute / shadowmute) also silences the player's voice. One mute covers text and voice.
- Action-bar and chat notices when a voice-muted player tries to speak.
- Sits quietly inactive if Simple Voice Chat isn't installed.
Discord Integration (Core)Fully customizable webhooks for every event — punishment issued/removed, new report, appeal submitted/decided, player frozen, staff note added. Every embed is 100% yours: title, hex color, player-head thumbnail, author, footer, fields and role/user pings, with rich placeholders like <player>, <staff>, <reason>, <duration>, <id> and <server>. A separate staff-only webhook keeps silent & shadow punishments private.
