Staff+ is a free moderation and utility plugin for Minecraft networks running Paper, Purpur, Folia, or Velocity. It comes as separate Paper and Velocity JARs that can share a database, configuration format, and migration system for network-wide moderation. Both editions support bans, IP bans, mutes, warnings, punishment history, and staff rollback. The Paper edition adds vanish, live inventory inspection, spectator follow, flight, and gamemode shortcuts, plus Folia-safe scheduling and asynchronous teleports. The Velocity edition checks bans and IP bans before login reaches a backend server and filters muted players’ chat across connected servers. Operators can import punishment data from Vanilla, Essentials or EssentialsX, LiteBans, AdvancedBan, MaxBans, BanManager, and BungeeAdminTools. Storage options include SQLite, MySQL, and MariaDB. Configurable staff weights prevent lower-ranking staff from overriding or removing punishments placed by senior staff or the console. Both editions collect anonymous bStats metrics, which operators can disable in the bStats configuration. The project is free under the MIT License.
