Managing Bans
Minecraft, and consequently Sponge, has simple ban management to prevent unwanted users from joining your server.
The /ban <name> [reason]
command is a native Minecraft server function that bans player name. The complete list
of banned players is available using the command /banlist players
It is also possible to ban any connections from a given IP address using /banip <address|name> [reason]
. The complete
list of banned IP addresses is available using the command /banlist ips
A ban can be reversed using the command /pardon <name>
or /pardon <ip-address>
More information on Bans can be found at the Minecraft Wiki.
