Indefinite Bans

Similar to TotalFreedomMod, Plex has indefinite bans. Indefinite bans are reserved for players who should not automatically be unbanned. Anyone who has access to the indefbans.yml file can add indefinite bans. If you are using Redis, all indefinite bans will be uploaded to Redis on startup. From that point on, indefinite bans will be fetched from Redis instead of the indefbans.yml file. Redis is NOT required to use indefinite bans. If you do not use Redis, Plex will fetch indefinite bans from the indefbans.yml file. No matter which medium you use, you will always add new entries to the indefbans.yml file. Note that there is no in-game command for adding or removing indefinite bans.

Default file

# Plex Indefinite Bans File
# Players with their UUID / IP / Usernames in here will be indefinitely banned until removed

# If you want to get someone's UUID, use https://api.ashcon.app/mojang/v2/user/<username>
griefers:
  users:
    - "badplayer123"
    - "badplayer321"
  uuids:
    - 1dac0e92-f565-4479-afd5-38c7df5f9732 # badplayer123
  ips:
    - 123.123.123.123

# Note that these keys can be anything, they are simply to help you keep things organized.
# They are not used within the plugin. Duplicate keys are not allowed, and will not work.
bypassers:
  users:
    - "bypasser1"
  ips:
    - 321.321.321.321
    - 169.254.1.2

How it works

Each entry starts with a description. This is to help you organize indefinite bans. For example, you could have a section griefers for serial griefers or bypassers for players who have bypassed bans. The users section is for usernames only, the uuids section is only for UUIDs, and the ips section is for IPs only. If you do not want to ban a type, you do not have to include it. Note that no duplicate descriptions can exist. This means you cannot have bypassers as a section twice. The actual descriptions are not used in the plugins and can be anything you like. They do not affect the indefinite ban in any way.

Converting indefinite bans

If you are switching from TotalFreedomMod to Plex, we have developed a tool called IBConverter to convert your existing indefinite bans into Plex's format. For more information on IBConverter, visit the GitHub page. This tool was written in Rust. The only thing you need to give it is your existing indefinitebans.yml file from TotalFreedomMod. You can download a compiled version below:
