The ban command will ban a player specified by any of the following: server username, UUID, IP address or client ID. An optional ban reason and duration can also be specified. Note that temporary bans will expire as soon as the server is restarted.
The syntax for the ban command is as follows:
/ban [username / uuid] [reason] [ip / uuid / both] [time] Admin Only
This command has the following arguments:
| Username / UUID | The username or UUID of the player you wish to ban from the server. You can also specify a client ID. |
| Reason | Optional. The reason you are banning them from the server, this will be shown to them as a message when they try to reconnect. |
| IP / UUID / Both | Optional - default is both. Specifying 'ip' here (without the quotes) would ban the specified user's IP from the server, specifying 'uuid' here would ban the specified user's UUID from the server, specifying 'both' here would ban both the user's IP address and UUID. See command examples for more information. |
| Time | Optional - if not specified, the time will be permanent. The time, in seconds, you wish to ban the user for. |
