AntiAdvertisement

Running a Minecraft server is a labor of love, but nothing kills the vibe faster than a flood of unwanted server advertisements. Whether it is a sneaky IP dropped in chat, a domain hidden in a book, or a player spamming commands with promo links, these intrusions disrupt gameplay and drive away your community. AntiAdvertisement is the all-in-one solution that puts you back in control, offering automatic detection, a customizable punishment system, and a full moderation toolkit to keep your server clean and welcoming.

Why Your Server Needs AntiAdvertisement

Manual moderation can only go so far. Players get creative, using obfuscated text, signs, or even anvil renaming to slip past basic filters. AntiAdvertisement uses smart detection that catches raw IPs, domain names, and custom regex patterns across chat, signs, books, and commands. The moment an ad is spotted, the plugin springs into action, following a configurable auto-punishment ladder that escalates from a warning all the way to an IP ban. This means less time policing and more time enjoying the game.

Key Features That Set AntiAdvertisement Apart

Intelligent Detection Engine

The heart of AntiAdvertisement is its ability to recognize advertising attempts in real time. It scans for numeric IPs, domain names, and any custom patterns you define using regular expressions. You can fine-tune sensitivity, add whitelisted words, and even set per-player tolerance levels so trusted members do not get caught in false positives.

Automated Punishment Ladder

Forget about manually tracking repeat offenders. The plugin builds a fully configurable ladder: warn, kick, mute, tempban, ban, and finally IP ban. Each step triggers after a set number of violations, and you decide the thresholds. This graduated response educates new players while permanently removing persistent advertisers.

Complete Moderation Suite

Beyond automatic actions, AntiAdvertisement equips your staff with powerful manual commands. Use /warn, /kick, /mute, /unmute, /freeze, /unfreeze, /tempban, /ban, and /ipban directly in chat. The freeze system instantly locks a suspect in place for investigation, while the mute system silences their chat but still monitors for further ad attempts—perfect for gathering evidence without alerting the offender.

Staff Notifications and Player Reporting

Keep your team in the loop. Whenever an ad is blocked, online staff receive a notification so they can review the situation. Additionally, your community can help by using the built-in player reporting feature, allowing anyone to flag suspicious behavior for moderator attention.

Exemptions and Per-Player Tolerance

Not every mention of an IP is malicious. You can whitelist VIPs, staff, or specific players entirely, or adjust the strictness per player. This flexibility ensures that your builders sharing a test server address or admins discussing network configurations are never accidentally punished.

How to Install AntiAdvertisement

Getting started is straightforward. First, download AntiAdvertisement from your preferred plugin repository. The add-on supports popular server platforms like Spigot and Paper, and works flawlessly across Minecraft versions 1.20.x, 1.21.x, and 1.26.x. Once you have the JAR file, place it into your server’s plugins folder and restart the server. A configuration file will generate automatically, ready for you to customize.

If you manage your server through the foxygame.net launcher, you will find AntiAdvertisement right in the add-on catalog, complete with one-click installation and automatic updates that keep the plugin compatible with the latest Minecraft releases without any manual file juggling.

Configuring Your Protection

Open the config.yml to set up your detection rules and punishment ladder. Define which types of content to scan (chat, signs, books, commands), adjust the regex patterns, and set the violation thresholds. You can also customize every message the plugin sends to players and staff, ensuring the tone matches your server’s style. The /ads help command lists all available commands for quick reference.

Real-World Scenarios Where AntiAdvertisement Shines

• Public survival servers – Stop rival server spam the instant it appears, preserving your player base.
• Minigame networks – Prevent lobby flooding with ad bots that use commands to broadcast links.
• Roleplay communities – Maintain immersion by blocking out-of-character advertising in local chat and books.
