Minecraft Unban or Ban
As the overseer or administrator of your server, safeguarding the harmony of your virtual domain often involves addressing disruptive players. Unlike a whitelist, a ban permanently bars an individual from re-entering the server, a measure best reserved for situations demanding unequivocal exclusion.
TIP
How to Ban Someone in Minecraft?
As the server proprietor, you bear the responsibility of curating a balanced and enjoyable environment for your players. When faced with unruly or disruptive behavior, a swift recourse is to implement a ban. Utilizing either console commands or OP privileges in-game, you wield the authority to both impose and lift bans using the ban
and pardon
commands.
TIP
Player Ban Command Minecraft
When implementing a ban, you have two primary approaches: banning by player name or by IP address.
- Name-Based Bans: This action restricts access for the specific Minecraft account linked to the player. However, it does not prevent the individual from rejoining with an alternate account.
- IP-Based Bans: This method prohibits access from the player’s last recorded IP address. While it deters alternate accounts, it may falter against users with dynamic IPs.
For heightened efficacy, a combination of both methods is advisable.

Should circumstances warrant a reversal, the pardon
command allows you to lift bans effortlessly.
To Unban a Player by Name

- In-game (with OP):
/pardon <player>
