Bans, Mutes, Kicks & Warns

The everyday tools your staff use to deal with rule-breakers.

Every punishment supports a reason, most support a duration, and many have an IP version that follows the player’s address instead of just their name. You can punish from chat or from the punish menu.

The punishments

Type	What it does
Ban	Blocks a player from joining. Permanent or timed.
IP-ban	Blocks the player’s IP address, not just their name.
Mute	Stops a player from talking in chat. Permanent or timed.
IP-mute	Mutes everyone sharing that IP address.
Kick	Removes a player from the server once.
Warn	Records a formal warning. Can trigger auto-actions. See Warnings.

Apply a punishment

Ban


/ban <player> [duration] [reason]
/tempban <player> <duration> [reason]
/ipban <player|ip> [duration] [reason]

Leave out the duration for a permanent ban (or your configured default). Examples:


/ban Steve Hacking
/tempban Steve 7d Spamming in chat
/ipban Steve 30d Ban evading

Mute


/mute <player> [duration] [reason]
/tempmute <player> <duration> [reason]
/ipmute <player|ip> [duration] [reason]

A muted player cannot talk and cannot use chat-style commands like /msg. You decide which commands are blocked in the config.

A muted player who tries to talk sees a quiet notice instead:

The notice a muted player sees when trying to chat

Kick


/kick <player> [reason]

A one-off removal. The player can rejoin straight away.

Warn


/warn <player> <reason>

Warnings stack up and can trigger automatic punishments. See Warnings & Auto-Escalation.

Durations

A duration is a number plus a unit. You can chain units together.

Example	Meaning
`30m`	30 minutes
`12h`	12 hours
`7d`	7 days
`2d12h`	2 days and 12 hours
`permanent`	Never expires

Removing punishments

Command	Removes
`/unban <player>`	An active ban
`/unipban <ip>`	An active IP-ban
`/unmute <player>`	An active mute
`/unwarn <player> [id]`	A warning (newest, or a specific id)
`/muteall` and `/unmuteall`	Locks or unlocks all non-staff chat

Silent punishments

Add -s right after the command to punish without a public announcement. Only staff with the right permission see a quiet note. This is handy when you do not want to tip off the player or start chat drama.


/ban -s Steve Hacking

Silent (-s) hides the public broadcast but the punishment is otherwise normal. There are also /silentban and /silentmute aliases. See Silent Punishments.

Defaults and presets

You can set a default reason and duration for each punishment in the config, so a quick /ban Steve still has a sensible reason. The punish menu also offers a list of preset reasons you can edit.

Some players can be made exempt from punishments with a permission. See Permissions.
