Frequently asked questions

How do I set up the database for LibertyBans?
LibertyBans requires a SQL database (MySQL, MariaDB, or compatible). Configure your database connection details in the plugin's config file with your host, port, username, password, and database name, then restart the server to initialize tables automatically.
What's the difference between /ban and /ipban?
/ban punishes a specific player UUID, while /ipban blocks an entire IP address and prevents any account from that IP from joining. IP bans are stronger for stopping alt accounts but affect all players on that connection.
How does alt detection work?
LibertyBans tracks player UUIDs and IP addresses; when you IP ban someone, it automatically blocks alternate accounts from the same IP. When a banned player's alt tries to join, the plugin detects the shared IP and denies access.
Can I mute a player without banning them?
Yes, use /mute to silence a player while keeping them in-game, or /ipmute to mute all accounts from an IP. Muted players cannot send chat messages but can still play normally.
