Built for Your Moderation Team

Staff Mode

Switch into moderation mode with /staff or /mod.
Your original inventory, armor, offhand and flight state are saved
before your moderation tools are equipped.

• Persistent session records and inventory recovery.
• Flight and configurable staff protections.
• Tools identified through persistent data rather than display names.
• A consistent, configurable moderation hotbar.

Your Moderation Toolkit

-
InvSee & EnderSee: inspect online players’
inventories and Ender Chests through live views.

-
Controlled editing: separate viewing and editing
permissions, with slot swapping inside the target inventory.
Armor and offhand slots remain read-only.

-
Teleport Compass: travel to a targeted block or
through a wall, subject to destination safety checks.

-
Punishment Hammer: open your existing moderation
workflow using a configurable external command, executed as the moderator.

Vanish

Control your visibility while Staff Mode is active. Players with the
appropriate permission can see hidden moderators, while other players
cannot. A persistent ActionBar keeps your current Vanish state visible.

Interactive Freeze

Freeze a player and present a response menu asking whether they admit
to cheating. AuraStaff records the response and informs the moderation team.

• Movement is restricted while camera movement remains available.
• The response menu reopens if the player closes it.
• Active freezes persist across disconnects and restarts.
• Disconnects are recorded without automatic punishment.

-
Admission-based punishment requires a configured external command,
the necessary permissions and explicit moderator confirmation.

Communication & Observation

-
StaffChat: communicate privately using
/staffchat or /sc.

-
Private typing mode: route normal chat messages
into StaffChat with /sc toggle.

-
Spectate: observe a player and restore your previous
location and game mode when you finish.

-
RandomTP: visit an eligible online player using
configurable world and freeze filters.

A Panel That Keeps Things Together

Access your moderation workflow through five organized sections:

• Player Manager
• Freeze Manager
• Staff Manager
• Vanish Manager
• Staff Settings

Personal Preferences

Each moderator can choose their typing channel, incoming StaffChat messages,
Freeze alerts and frozen-player disconnect alerts.

Preference cards explain each option, display its current state and show
saving feedback. Settings are stored individually and retained across
reconnects and server restarts.
