How to Kick and Ban Players on Your Avorion Server

In Avorion you remove players with commands. You can enter them either in the console of your dashboard or in the game chat – there with a leading /.

Note

To use the commands in the game you need admin rights. See Add admin.

Kick a player

/kick <player name>

The player is disconnected from the server but can rejoin immediately. A kick works well as a warning or to disconnect a stuck player.

Ban a player

/ban <player name>

The player is put on the blacklist and cannot join your server again until you lift the ban.

Lift a ban

/unban <player name>

Ban an IP

/banip <player IP>

An IP ban can be lifted again with:

/unbanip <player IP>

Warning

An IP ban affects everyone behind the same IP address – for example several people in one household. Many internet connections also get a new IP address regularly, which makes the ban ineffective. As a rule, use /ban.

Tip

The player name has to match exactly – including capitalisation. It is best to copy it from the console of your dashboard, where it appears when the player connects.

Note

When kicking or banning through the console of the dashboard, you can leave out the / or include it – both work. In the game chat the / is mandatory, otherwise your input is sent as a normal chat message.

Warning

Before a planned server stop, run /save before you use /stop or stop the server via the dashboard – that way no progress is lost.
