Banning Players
Banning a player prevents them from joining your server either temporarily or permanently. Bans are ideal for serious violations of server rules.
Use the /ban Command
To ban a player, follow these steps:
-
Open the Chat or Console
Like kicking, the ban command can be used from either chat or console. -
Type the
/banCommand
The basic format is:/ban <player> [reason]- Replace
<player>with the player’s username. - Optionally, add a
[reason]to provide context for the ban (this will be shown in the player’s chat).
- Replace
Example:
/ban Griefer Spamming TNT in spawn
This will permanently ban Griefer for spamming TNT in the spawn area.
Verify the Player Is Banned
Once the command is executed, the player will be disconnected from the server and will be unable to rejoin until the ban is lifted. A message will appear in the chat, confirming that the player has been banned.
