BS Ban Hammer Plugin FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I get the Ban Hammer item?
Use the command `/bh give ` to give the hammer to yourself or another staff member. The player who receives it can then use shift-click actions to cycle through presets and punish rule-breakers.
What's the difference between right-click and left-click with the hammer?
Right-clicking a player bans them using your currently selected ban preset, while left-clicking applies your active kick or jail preset instead. Use shift+click to cycle between different presets before executing the action.
How do I set up different ban types?
Edit the `presets` section in your config file to define custom ban types with a display name, reason, duration, and sound effect. Each preset you add becomes available when you shift-right-click to cycle through ban options.
Can I see what punishments a player has received before?
Yes, use `/bh history ` to view all past bans, kicks, mutes, and warnings for that player. The plugin tracks every action in its database automatically.
How do I remove a ban if I made a mistake?
Use `/bh unban ` to manually remove a ban. You can also process unban appeals submitted by players using `/bh appeals` to review and approve requests.
Does this work with Discord?
Yes, the plugin automatically sends color-coded logs to a Discord channel in real-time whenever a punishment is applied. Set up your Discord webhook URL in the configuration to enable this feature.
Can I use this with Essentials jail locations?
Yes, the plugin is compatible with Essentials and will use its jail locations when you apply jail punishments. Make sure Essentials is installed and configured on your server.
What happens when temporary bans expire?
The plugin automatically removes temporary bans, mutes, and jail sentences when their duration ends—you don't need to manually unban players.
How does the warning system work?
Use `/warn [reason]` to give a player a warning. After they accumulate too many warnings, the plugin automatically bans them without requiring manual action.
Can I mute a player without banning them?
Yes, use `/mute ` to prevent someone from chatting for a set time. This is separate from bans and jails and can be used for less severe infractions.
