Common questions
What does Staff++ do?
Staff moderation suite with reports, punishments, notes, freezing, staff chat and configurable staff modes.
Is Staff++ a plugin or a mod?
Staff++ is listed here as a server plugin. Use the official download page to choose the correct build for your supported server platform and Minecraft version.
Do players need to install it?
Most server plugins run server-side and do not require players to install the same JAR. Features that rely on resource packs, Bedrock bridges or optional client integrations can still change what the player must download or accept.
How do I install it?
Install a Staff++ release compatible with your server, then configure its staff permissions, moderation data storage and notification options before enabling enforcement. Keep disciplinary records backed up when migrating or updating.
How do I know the plugin loaded?
Using staff and non-staff accounts, confirm the staff user can perform an authorized moderation action and that the target sees only the intended outcome. Check logging, evidence retention and permission boundaries.
What if it does not load?
If staff features are visible to the wrong players, check permission inheritance and staff-mode toggles; if punishment history is missing, inspect database/config migrations before trying a fresh install.
