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 /ban Command The basic format is: /ban [reason] Replace with the player’s username. Optionally, add a [reason] to provide context for the ban (this will be shown in the player’s chat). 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.
