Muting
Staff++ adds the ability to mute players. Next to the permanent mute command it also adds the
tempmute command. With every mute a reason must be given why this player is getting muted.mute-module:
# Whether or not the plugin will use "/mute player" features.
enabled: true
# Will the player know he is muted.
default-soft-mutes: false
# Commands that get blocked when a player is muted
blocked-commands:
- msg
- whisper
- tell
Permission | Description |
staff.staffplus.mute | Permission for muting a player |
staff.staffplus.tempmute | Permission for temporarily muting a player |
staff.staffplus.unmute | Permission for unmuting a player |
staff.staffplus.mute-bypass | Permission for bypassing being muted |
staff.staffplus.mute-notifications | Permission to receive notifications when someone is muted/unmuted |
staff.staffplus.mute-override-softhard |
Command | Description |
/mute [player] [reason] [-soft?] [-hard?] | Permanently mute a player |
/tempmute [player] [amount] [unit] [reason] [-soft?] [-hard?] | Temporarily mute a player |
/unmute [player] [reason] | Unmute a player |
Staff++ provides two ways of muting. Mutes where the player will be notified he is muted, we call this hard mutes. And mutes where the player has no idea he has been muted, we call this soft mutes.
By default all mutes are hard mutes but this can be changed with the
default-soft-mutes configuration property.mute-module:
# Will the player know he is muted.
default-soft-mutes: false
You can override the default mute type by specifying a
-soft or -hard option when muting players./mute playername To much spamming -soft
Even though a soft mute will not notify the player that he has been muted. There is no easy way to fake the blocked-commands of the mute configuration. If a player executes one of the blocked commands nothing will happen so he might figure out something is going on.
The tempmute command can also be configured to restrict the duration a staff member can use for a mute.
Give the staff member and extra permission with a duration limit as suffix. Example:
staff.staffplus.tempmute.limit.2w , with this permission a staff member can only issue a mute for a maximum duration of 2 weeks.A staff member must have both permissions to use the command. So for a 2 week duration limit the permissions needed are:
staff.staffplus.tempmutestaff.staffplus.tempmute.limit.2w
Possible time values:
- s = second
- m = minute
- h = hour
- d = day
- w = week
- M = month
- y = year
Time values cannot be combined. For example this is invalid: ".1m30s" instead type ".90s"
A mute duration can be extended or reduced by the following commands:
/mute-reduce [player] [amount] [unit]
/mute-extend [player] [amount] [unit]
This command can also be limited in duration the same way a tempmute is limited.
Giving the player the following 2 permissions will limit the extension duration for example:- staff.staffplus.extendmute
- staff.staffplus.extendmute.limit.2w
When extending a mute, the staff member cannot extend the mute further than his tempmute limit will allow. This is to prevent a staff member spamming an extend command.
This means that if a player is muted for 2 months. His mute cannot be extended by a staff member whose tempmute limit is 3 weeks for example.
/mute [player] [reason]/mute playername He was bothering me
/tempmute [player] [amount] [unit] [reason]/tempmute playername 15 MINUTE He was bothering me
The duration of the tempmute is specified by [amount] [unit]
Amount must be a positive number > 0 and unit must be one of the following:
- SECOND
- MINUTE
- HOUR
- DAY
- WEEK
- MONTH
- YEAR
The tempmute command can be delayed by adding a
-D option to it. This will delay the command until the player muted will come online/unmute [player] [reason]/unmute playername We are friends now
It is possible that another plugin like 'essentialsx' might get priority over the
mute, tempmute and unmute command. To prevent this we suggest the same solution as is proposed by EssentialsX.Configure your server aliases in such a way that the mute commands from Staff++ will always be used. This can be done by editing the
commands.yml file and specifying your aliases there.To enable Staff++ mute commands this would be done in this way:
aliases:
mute:
- "staffplus:mute $1-"
tempmute:
- "staffplus:tempmute $1-"
unmute:
- "staffplus:unmute $1-"
The discord integration plugin supports notifying to a discord channel whenever a player gets mute/unmuted.
