Plugin RangeBans

RangeBans, targeted IP control for a Minecraft server

RangeBans is a classic Bukkit plugin designed mainly for offline mode servers. It lets administrators block IP ranges and hostnames instead of banning one address at a time. Wildcard patterns make it possible to cover groups of addresses, while nickname exceptions can allow trusted players to bypass a restriction.

The plugin also provides permissions, configurable messages, operator notifications, hostname based whitelisting, and separate text files for bans and exceptions. These tools help staff manage shared networks or dynamic addresses with greater precision. At BoxToPlay, we see RangeBans as a focused administration tool for servers needing simple, granular access control.
