Velocity Plugin IPGuard

IPGuard, Account Protection for Velocity

IPGuard is a lightweight Velocity proxy plugin that restricts each Minecraft username to one or more approved IP addresses. It adds a practical security layer to a Minecraft server, helping prevent account access from unfamiliar locations and reducing the risk of unauthorized logins.

Management is handled from the proxy console, keeping binding and unbinding commands away from players. IPGuard stores mappings in a persistent JSON file, creates it automatically, and checks every connection in real time through Velocity’s pre login event. Unauthorized addresses are denied with a clear message, while the plugin remains configurable and uses no external dependencies. At BoxToPlay, it is a simple choice for networks seeking focused account protection.
