Banning is a built-in function to all Minecraft servers, allowing you to stop unwanted players from joining your server. You can also unban a player that was previously banned to allow them to be able to play on your server again. There are many different ways of banning players. In this tutorial, we will be using the built-in way. You can also download external plugins to handle bans. All commands listed below can also be executed via console by removing the preceding /
Banning a player or IP address
*note parameters inside of <> are required, parameters inside of [] are optional
- /ban <username> [reason]Â
- Bans a player by their Minecraft Unique ID, preventing them from joining the server even if they change their name.
- Example: /ban Mason being awesome!
- /ban-ip <IP/username> [reason]
- Bans a player by the IP. This prevents them from joining the server as an alternate account.
- Example: /ban-ip Mason being awesome!
Unbanning a player or IP address
*note parameters inside of <> are required, parameters inside of [] are optional
Unbanning works in almost the same manner as banning a player.
- /unban <username>
- Unbans a player that was previously banned
- /unban-ip <IP Address>
- Unbans an IP address that was previously banned. Only valid IP Addresses work with this command not player names
