How to Ban and Kick Players on Your Minecraft Server

Accepted Answer

How to Ban and Kick Players on Your Minecraft Server

Maintaining a positive community on your Minecraft server sometimes requires removing disruptive players. Whether you need to temporarily kick someone or permanently ban them from your server, Loafhosts' LoafPanel makes player moderation simple and effective through our integrated Player Manager.

Understanding Kicks vs Bans

Kick

A kick immediately disconnects a player from your server but doesn't prevent them from rejoining. Kicks are useful for:

Warning players about rule violations
Removing AFK players to free up slots
Quick temporary removals
Testing connectivity issues

Ban

A ban permanently prevents a player from joining your server. Banned players see a "You are banned from this server" message when attempting to connect. Bans are appropriate for:

Repeated rule violations
Griefing or destructive behavior
Harassment or toxic behavior
Cheating or hacking

IP Ban

An IP ban blocks all players connecting from a specific IP address, preventing ban evasion through alternate accounts. Use IP bans when:

A player is using alternate accounts to bypass bans
You need to block an entire household or network
Dealing with persistent troublemakers Warning: IP bans can affect multiple legitimate players sharing the same IP address (like siblings or internet cafés).

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

How to Add Admins in Arma Reforger: Step-by-Step Guide

Adding admins to your Arma Reforger server is essential for effective server management. This guide will show you how to add admins using the config.json file and ensure your server runs smoothly. Follow these steps to set up admins quickly and accurately.

Step 1: Get the Reforger ID

To add an admin to the config.json, you must first obtain their Reforger ID. You can do this in two ways:

Using our RCON tool.
Asking the admin to provide their Reforger ID directly by telling them to go the main menu of Arma Reforger and at the top right tell the user to click on their profile picture/name and it should read out a string of letters and numbers like this.

b19e4f02-fa86-40d4-b5f3-c1e192ba4ed2

Step 2: Open and Edit Your Config File

Access the config.json file by:

Pressing the Config Files button on the console page.
Locating the file via the File Manager.

Step 3: Add Admins in config.json

Locate the following line in your config.json file:

"admins": []

Admins can be added as shown below:

"admins": [
    "b19e4f02-fa86-40d4-b5f3-c1e192ba4ed2"
]

Adding Multiple Admins

To add multiple admins, use the following format. Ensure the last admin entry ends with " and not ", to maintain valid JSON syntax:

```json "admins": [ "b19e4f02-fa86-40d4-b5f3-c1e192ba4ed2", "b19e4f02-fa86-40d4-b5f3-c1e192ba4ed2", "b19e4f02-fa86-40d4-b5
