# Punishments Book Menu

The [**Punishments Menu – Modern Book Interface**](https://builtbybit.com/resources/punishment-menu-modern-book-interface.61370/) is a fully configurable moderation setup for your server. It provides an in-game modern book-style menu for managing warnings, mutes, bans, and more. This resource is **configuration-only**, meaning it requires compatible plugins to function.

{% hint style="warning" %}
This configuration does not include plugins themselves. You must have the required dependencies installed before using this setup.

{% hint style="info" %}
You only need **one plugin** to manage punishments. If you choose not to use any, Minecraft’s default system will handle them (only bans and mutes, you'll need a plugin for warns since they aren't native features of minecraft) automatically.
{% endhint %}
