Our verdict on SModeration

SModeration is an open-source Minecraft server plugin for Paper-based servers, with compatibility listed for Paper, Folia, and Purpur. It is aimed at server owners and staff teams that need core moderation actions without a broad management suite. Temporary and permanent mutes, bans, kicks, and custom punishments can be managed through commands or an inventory menu, while required reasons and configurable punishment types allow administrators to shape the workflow around their server’s rules.

Its strongest area is the concentration of practical staff utilities in one plugin. Moderators can review active punishments by player or UUID, inspect player inventories, equipment, and ender chests, use vanish with player-list controls, and monitor private messages through SocialSpy. Simple Voice Chat mute integration extends punishment coverage beyond text chat, while Discord webhooks provide a route for moderation-related notifications or events. These features make SModeration a suitable fit for teams that prioritize direct in-game oversight and punishment management.

The trade-off is a narrower scope. SModeration is centered on enforcement and staff visibility rather than verified reporting, filtering, or proxy-level administration, so servers needing those layers should consider a broader moderation stack. Its integration surface is also focused on Simple Voice Chat and Discord webhooks, rather than a large platform ecosystem. Choose SModeration when your priority is an open-source collection of essential staff tools for a Paper-family server; look elsewhere if you need a web moderation panel, proxy support, or more expansive reporting and filtering capabilities.
