config.yml

mutedCommandBlacklist

Muted players will be blocked from using commands within this list. Command aliases will automatically be found and blocked, e.g. msg will block tell. Do not prefix commands with /.

Example

mutedCommandBlacklist:
- msg

softMutedCommandBlacklist - identical to mutedCommandBlacklist but only affects players who are soft muted

duplicateIpCheck

Displays a warning to those with bm.notify.duplicateips permission when a player joins with the same IP as a banned player, defaults to true.

Example

duplicateIpCheck: true

bypassDuplicateChecks

A list of IPs to exclude from the banned player duplicate check.

Example

bypassDuplicateChecks:
- 0.0.0.0
- 127.0.0.1
- '0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1' # IPv6 supported

logKicks

Records players kicked from the server via /kick, defaults to false.

Use the command /bminfo <player> -kicks to view these records.

Example

logKicks: true

logIps

Records when a player leaves and joins the server, along with their ip address. Defaults to true. If set to false, only the most recent IP address will be stored. For GDPR compliancy, you may wish to purge data older than a certain period of time; see cleanUp for further information.

Use the command /bminfo <player> -ips to view these records.

Example

logIps: true

displayNotifications

Broadcasts punishments to players with bm.notify.X permissions, defaults to true.

Example

displayNotifications: true

broadcastOnSync

Broadcasts a notification when new punishments are synced between the database and server, defaults to false.

Example

broadcastOnSync: true

timeLimits

Generates a permission to limit the time period a player can issue a punishment for. Once configured, assign the player with the appropriate permission e.g. bm.timelimit.X.Y where X is the punishment type and Y is the custom name you have defined.

Example

Based on the following configuration, granting a player the bm.timelimit.playerBans.Moderator permission will only allow them to /tempban a player for up to 1 day:

timeLimits:
  playerMutes:
    Moderator: 1h
  playerBans:
    Moderator: 1d
  playerWarnings:
    Moderator: 30d
  ipBans:
    Moderator: 1d
  ipMutes:
    Moderator: 1d
  rollbacks:
    Moderator: 1d
  nameBans:
    Moderator: 1d

cooldowns

To prevent duplicate punishments against a player in quick succession, set a cooldown to limit the time in seconds before a player can be punished again. Set to 0 to disable. Defaults to 10 seconds.

Example

cooldowns:
  ban: 10
  tempban: 10
  mute: 10
  tempmute: 10
  banip: 10
  tempbanip: 10
  warn: 10
  tempwarn: 10
  report: 10

warningActions

• enabled - Set to true to enable, defaults to false

• actions

  • <number of points>

    • cmd - The command to execute upon reaching the number of points, the following tokens are available: [player], [playerId], [actor], [reason], [id], [points].

    • delay - Optional, specify a delay in seconds of when to run the command, defaults to 0 and executes immediately.

Example

The following will mute a player immediately and ban a player after 10 seconds upon reaching a total of 5 warning points:

warningActions:
  enabled: true
  actions:
    '5':
    - cmd: ban [player] [reason]
      delay: 10
    - cmd: mute [player] [reason]

        • warn - [player], [playerId], [actor], [reason]

        • tempwarn - [player], [playerId], [actor], [reason], [expires]

        • ipban - [ip], [actor], [reason], [expires]

        • tempipban - [ip], [actor], [reason], [expires]

        • unbanip - [ip], [actor], [reason], [expires] if a temporary ban or 0

        • iprangeban - [from] starting IP address, [to] end IP address, [actor], [reason]

        • tempiprangeban - [from] starting IP address, [to] end IP address, [actor], [reason], [expires]

        • unbaniprange - [from] starting IP address, [to] end IP address, [actor], [reason], [expires] if a temporary ban or 0

        • note - [player], [playerId], [actor], [message]

        • report - [player], [playerId], [actor], [message]

      • delay - Optional, specify a delay in seconds of when to run the command, defaults to 0 and executes immediately.

Example

The following will immediately IP ban the player and kick them in 10 seconds time before a ban is issued. After a ban is issued, a message will immediately be broadcasted.

hooks:
  enabled: true
  events:
    ban:
      pre:
      - cmd: kick [player] [reason]
        delay: 10
      - cmd: banip [player] [reason]
      post:
      - cmd: broadcast [player] banned

checkForUpdates - deprecated and currently unsupported in v7

offlineAutoComplete

Enables auto completing offline player names when issuing BanManager commands, e.g. typing /ban c and then tab will suggest all players beginning with the letter c. Note, this is case-sensitive.

Example

offlineAutoComplete: true

punishAlts

Automatically applies punishments to alts (players who share the same IP address) on join. Defaults to false as this could block siblings or those on shared internet connections.

Example

punishAlts: true

denyAlts

Automatically prevents players joining if the same IP address is associated with a ban

Example

denyAlts: true

timeAssociatedAlts

Time in seconds a player's IP address should be classified as an alt of another player. Defaults to 0 for an IP address to always be associated to a player

Example

timeAssociatedAlts: 604800

cleanUp

Keep records for a defined number of days. Specify 0 to never delete. playerHistory requires logIps to be enabled and only purges IP addresses that are not currently IP banned.

Example

The following will keep a history of kicks for 30 days and ban records for 10 days. All other records are kept indefinitely.

cleanUp:
  kicks: 30
  banRecords: 10
  ipBanRecords: 0
  ipMuteRecords: 0
  muteRecords: 0
  readWarnings: 0
  unreadWarnings: 0
  playerHistory: 0

maxOnlinePerIp

The maximum number of players allowed to connect from the same IP address. Set to 0 to disable. Defaults to 0.

Example

maxOnlinePerIp: 1

maxMultiaccountsRecently

The maximum number of players allowed to connect from the same IP address (recently logged in). Set to 0 to disable. Defaults to 0. Set multiaccountsTime to specify the time range in seconds.

Example

The following only allows a player to join the server if nobody has joined the server with the same IP address in the past 5 minutes (300 seconds):

maxMultiaccountsRecently: 1
multiaccountsTime: 300

checkOnJoin

Queries the database for new player punishments when a player attempts to join. BanManager stores a cache of punishments in memory and frequently queries the database for changes; this is sufficient for single servers.

For networks, enabling this can remediate delays in punishments syncing between servers. Defaults to false as this could become a performance bottleneck against the database when there are spikes in players joining. Before enabling this, try changing the schedules.yml sync task options.

Example

checkOnJoin: true

createNoteReasons

Enables creation of notes based on text in between ( ). E.g. /ban confuser testing (too good) will ban for testing and create a note too good. Defaults to false.

Example

createNoteReasons: true

onlineMode

If you are using bungeecord set to online mode, leave this as true. If you are using an offline mode server, set this to false; this will cause BanManager to use case-insensitive UUIDs for player lookups, i.e. Confuser and cOnFuSer will be identified as the same player. Defaults to true

Example

onlineMode: true

chatPriority

BanManager will attempt to block muted players from chatting. However, some chat plugins can intefere with this causing messages to still display. Change the priority accordingly. Defaults to normal.

The following options in order of priority are available: lowest, low, normal, high, highest, monitor.

Example

chatPriority: high

blockInvalidReasons

Prevents executing commands with an invalid reason, i.e. missing from reasons.yml. E.g. /ban confuser #speel-erorr will return an error message instead of banning the player for #speel-erorr. Defaults to false.

Example

blockInvalidReasons: true
