ULTRA LiteBans 2.9.5

About

LiteBans is a lightweight banning plugin supporting UUIDs which allows temporary and permanent bans.
When a player changes their Minecraft name through Mojang, they will still keep their bans, mutes, and warnings.

All punishments made through LiteBans will take effect globally across all servers linked to the same database.
Although LiteBans is designed to effectively synchronize between hundreds of servers, it can still work alone on a single server without a MySQL database.

LiteBans can run natively under Spigot, BungeeCord, and Velocity, offering the same features on all platforms.

Features

• Designed from the ground up with UUID support in mind. All punishments are UUID-based.
• Fully customizable kick screen for banned players, multiple lines and colours can be used, as well as ban information variables – duration until ban expires, reason, staff member who placed the ban, server which ban was placed on, time since ban was placed, original ban date & duration, and many more.
• Template system allows you to make fully customizable punishment ladders. Each time you punish someone using a template, they will climb the ladder you have created and receive an incrementally larger punishment. Each ban template can be assigned with a custom kick screen message!
• Server scopes are supported, granting you the ability to place per-server punishments and global punishments.
• All messages are customizable in messages.yml. There are many useful variables available to place in any configurable message that involves a ban, mute, or warning. Hover-text and RGB colours supported.
• You can view punishment history for players (/history) and punishments issued by staff members (/staffhistory).
• Multiple types of databases are supported, including MySQL, MariaDB, and H2. H2 is used by default, meaning that MySQL is not needed to use LiteBans with a single-server setup.
• When a player with a banned account on the same IP joins, all players with the right permissions will be notified.
• Advanced light cross-server synchronization system allows global punishments and broadcasts to instantly take effect across all servers connected to the same database.
• Staff members can be "rolled back" – all punishments which they've issued can be removed at any time with a single command. Staff abuse has never been easier to deal with.
• Bans can be imported from vanilla (including Essentials), and six popular plugins, including MaxBans, BanManager, AdvancedBan, and BungeeAdminTools.
• Users who have been IP-banned or GeoIP-blocked can be exempted from bans using the "/litebans allow" command.
• Offline players can receive warnings; they will see all of their new warnings when they join. This works across servers.
• Players cannot override punishments by setting very short bans or mutes unless they have permission.
• Lightweight, multithreaded, and designed for performance. LiteBans uses a minimal amount of memory and does not block the main server thread with any database queries after startup.

Cross-Server Synchronization
One of the best features of LiteBans for networks is its cross-server synchronization system.

For example:

Server A, Server B and Server C are all running LiteBans, connected to the same MySQL database.

If a player who is on Server A is muted on Server B, it will immediately take effect on Server A, the player will be muted, and all players on Server A, B and C will see the broadcast indicating that the player was muted if they have permission and broadcast synchronization is enabled. If the player leaves Server A and joins Server B or Server C, they will still be muted.

Web Interface
The web interface lists all bans, mutes, warnings, and kicks.
It can be used to view all punishments for specific players or by staff, and check when those punishments will expire.
* Free website is not included, you will require your own website hosting.

JSON Support
LiteBans allows you to define custom hover text in all messages, including broadcasts.
Only players with permission (litebans.json.hover_text) will see the hover text.
All variables available to use in messages.yml can also be included in hover text, along with colours and newlines.

Template System
LiteBans has a powerful template system. Templates can be applied to bans and mutes.

Each template has a configurable ladder, so, for example, you can have a template which bans a player for 2 weeks the first time you apply that template, one month when they are banned for the second time, and three months when they are banned for the third time.
That's the tip of the iceberg. See templates.yml for a full description!


Commands

The ban command (/ban) can be used like this:

/ban [-s] <target> [duration] [reason] [server:*]
Also: /tempban, /ipban, /unban

<target> can be a name, UUID, or IP address.

If you IP-ban a player, their UUID and IP address will be banned simultaneously, so they cannot join on the same account using a different IP address.

[server:*] is an optional parameter which can be used when the plugin is installed on Bungee/Velocity or if you have multiple instances of LiteBans.
By default, all punishments are global (*).
Server scopes (per-server punishments) are explained in detail on the wiki here.

Example: /ban Player 7d [reason] server:Survival

The /ban and /mute commands have a permanent duration if not specified. If the player does not have the litebans.unlimited permission, the duration will be limited to the maximum duration (per group) specified in config.yml.

Reasons for /ban, /mute, /warn, and /kick can contain colours and newlines ("\n").
