Our verdict on AdvancedSensitiveWords

AdvancedSensitiveWords is an open-source moderation plugin for self-hosted Paper servers. It focuses on detecting and handling sensitive content across chat, commands, books, signs, anvils, item names, item lore, player names, and broadcasts. Server administrators can configure replacement or cancellation, violation levels, punishment actions, staff notifications, and runtime word-list management. It suits Minecraft communities that need detailed filtering rather than a broader moderation suite.

Its standout capability is the breadth of its filtering surfaces combined with DFA-based sensitive-word matching. Administrators can manage blocked and allowed words at runtime, and optional LLM-assisted chat review adds another review method. The plugin integrates with TrChat, PacketEvents, PlaceholderAPI, Floodgate, and AuthMe. A separate Velocity artifact supports proxy notifications and proxy command execution, which can connect moderation responses across a proxy setup, although it does not filter chat itself.

Platform scope is the clearest consideration before adoption. The 2.x version targets Paper, while Spigot, CraftBukkit, and BungeeCord are not supported. That makes AdvancedSensitiveWords a suitable choice for Paper-based servers that want granular content controls, configurable responses, and selected proxy capabilities. Communities seeking a broader moderation plugin, or servers built around unsupported platforms, should choose an alternative with wider platform coverage or a more expansive moderation focus.
