AutoMute
========

AutoMute is a configurable Paper plugin that automatically detects profanity and
advertising in chat, cancels the offending message, and applies a temporary mute.
Staff can also apply, inspect, list, and remove mutes.

Supported environment


  • Paper 1.16.x through 1.21.x (use the matching jar)
  • Java 8 or newer
  • SQLite by default
  • Optional MySQL persistence

Automatic filters


The profanity filter matches configured words as complete words. It does not
match a configured word inside a larger word. The advertising filter detects
domains, IP addresses, and custom patterns. Operators and players with
automute.bypass or automute.exempt are ignored when the corresponding setting is
enabled.

Commands


/mute
Shows the configured reason codes.
/mute
Applies the configured duration for a reason.
/mute
Applies a custom duration and reason.
/unmute
Removes an active mute.
/muteinfo
Shows active or historical mute information.
/mutelist
Lists active mutes.
/otomute help
Shows administration commands.
/otomute word
Manages profanity words.
/otomute ad
Manages advertising patterns.
/otomute filter
Shows or changes filter state.
/otomute reason

  • ...

/otomute message

  • ...

/otomute broadcast

  • ...

/otomute settings

  • ...

/otomute reload

Permissions


automute.mute.reason Use configured reason codes.
automute.mute.timed Use custom durations and reasons.
automute.mute.any Use both mute modes.
automute.unmute Remove mutes.
automute.info View mute details.
automute.list List active mutes.
automute.admin Use all administration functions.
automute.exempt Ignore automatic filtering.
automute.bypass Ignore automatic filtering.

Storage


Active mutes are stored in mutes.yml and mirrored to SQLite by default.
MySQL can be enabled in config.yml. Historical mute records are stored in
history.yml. Database credentials remain in the server configuration and are
never sent to Modrinth.

Modrinth update notifications


AutoMute checks the public Modrinth versions endpoint for project riym9KGa.
It never sends a token, credential, database value, or player data. It does not
download or install updates automatically. Operators are notified when they
join the server if a newer version is available. The check can be disabled with
update-check.enabled: false.

How to install AutoMute

  1. Make sure your server runs Paper and Spigot on Minecraft 1.16 – 1.21.

  2. Download the .jar file from Modrinth and put it in the plugins folder of your server.

  3. Restart the server. Avoid /reload, many plugins do not handle it well.

  4. Type /plugins in the console: AutoMute should be listed in green. Its config files are created in the plugins folder on the first start.
