In this guide, we will walk you through how to manage access to your Minecraft server. You can exclude (ban) players either via our user-friendly Player Manager or via the classic Console.

Method 1: Use Player Manager (Recommended)

The easiest way to manage players is via the built-in graphical interface in your PineRiver panel.

How to ban a player:

1. Log in to your PineRiver GamePanel.
2. Go to the Player Manager tab.
3. Select the player you wish to ban.
4. Click the Ban Player icon.
5. Enter a reason (e.g., "Griefing") and confirm.

How to ban an IP address:

If you want to prevent a person from accessing the server from a specific internet connection (e.g., if they keep creating new users), you can use an IP ban.

1. Go to Banned IPs or select the Ban IP function in the menu.
2. Enter the IP address (e.g., 127.0.0.1) and a reason.
3. Click Ban IP to activate the ban.

Method 2: Use the Console (Advanced)

If you prefer to use commands, or if you are in-game as an operator, you can use the following commands.

Ban a player or IP via console:

1. Navigate to Console in the left sidebar.
2. Type the command in the field and press Enter:
   • Ban player: ban playername [reason]
     Example: ban Notch Griefing
   • Ban IP: ban-ip playername or ban-ip ip-address
3. The console will confirm the action with a message like: Banned Notch: Banned by an operator.

Remove a ban (Unban):

Did you change your mind, or should a player be granted access again?

1. Go to Console.
2. Use one of the following commands:
   • Unban player: pardon playername
   • Unban IP: pardon-ip ip-address
3. You will see the confirmation: Unbanned Notch.

Here you can insert your screenshot of the console (image 1).
