Best Minecraft Moderation Plugins in 2026

Minecraft moderation plugins support server teams as they review reports and manage staff actions. Compared on audit logs, chat filters, report workflows, staff notes, proxy support, and staff web panels, the entries reflect different ways to support moderation tasks. ModGUI, LibertyBans, and Nimbus AntiCheat are among the options to examine. Think about how your team handles reports and keeps records, then compare the related features and whether proxy support fits your setup. A staff web panel or chat filters may also matter for your moderation process. Free-plan availability and paid-from pricing round out the listed comparison points.
