BetterTempBan

BetterTempBan is a lightweight Paper plugin that gives server administrators clean, flexible temporary ban management. Ban any player — online or offline — with a simple command, a custom reason, and a time duration. Banned players are greeted with a detailed disconnect screen showing who banned them, when, and how long they have left.

The ban is UUID-based on online servers so name changes never bypass a ban. Running a cracked server? Flip one config option and it switches to username-based tracking automatically.
