# Extended Ban Mod for Minetest This mod attempts to be an improvement to Minetest's ban system. * It supports normal bans and temporary bans (from 60 seconds up to the end of time, with 1 second granularity). * Records and joins all accounts using the same IP address and several IP addresses using the same name into a single record, and can ban/unban them as a single user. * Can ban offline players if you know their IP or username. * Holds a record of bans for each user, so moderators and administrators can consult it to know if a player is a repeat offender. * Does not modify the default ban database in any way (`ipban.txt'). * Has an API to ban and check the ban database to allows other mods to manage users (for example, anticheat mods). ## Chat commands The mod provides the following chat commands. All commands require the `ban` privilege. ### `xban` Bans a player permanently. **Usage:** `/xban ` **Example:** `/xban 127.0.0.1 Some reason.` ### `xtempban` Bans a player temporarily. **Usage:** `/xtempban
