How Do I Kick or Ban Players on My Minecraft Server?

Guide on how to kick or ban players

Summary

Running a Minecraft server sometimes means handling disruptive players. With the right commands, you can kick a player (temporarily remove them) or ban them (block them by name or IP). Players with OP permissions can run these commands directly in-game or through the server console, making moderation quick and effective. This helps keep your server fair, fun, and welcoming for everyone.
