***# Please note: This is a fork of the original AdvancedBan or AdvancedBanX plugin. Do not request support in the official AdvancedBan Discord; instead, seek help on the GitHub repository's issues page.*** ### Description AdvancedBanZ is a fork of AdvancedBanX, which itself is a modernized update of the original AdvancedBan plugin developed by Leoko. It is an all-in-one punishment system supporting warnings (warn), temporary warnings (tempwarn), mutes, temporary mutes (tempmute), bans, temporary bans (tempban), IP bans (ipban), and kicks. The plugin also provides a player history feature to view past punishment records. The plugin supports configurable time and message templates, automatically calculating and increasing punishment durations based on specific reasons. AdvancedBanZ provides complete message files, allowing you to freely modify and translate all prompts, and includes a detailed main configuration file with numerous practical options. Currently, AdvancedBanZ supports Bukkit (Spigot/Paper) and BungeeCord platforms, and supports both MySQL and local file storage for data persistence. ### Installation Steps 1. Download the plugin from *[Modrinth](https://modrinth.com/plugin/advancedbanz)*. 2. Place the plugin into your `plugins` folder (applicable for both Bukkit and BungeeCord). 3. Reload or restart your server. 4. Use `/advancedban` to check if the plugin loaded successfully. 5. Configure as needed and start using it. > **Optional Tip**: If you encounter issues connecting to the database, try adjusting the MySQL version to 5.X. ### Command Reference

### Permission Nodes

All Permissions

```yaml ab.kick.use - /kick ab.kick.exempt - Exempt from being kicked ab.notify.kick - Receive kick notifications ab.ban.perma - /ban ab.ban.temp - /tempban ab.ban.undo - /unban ab.ban.exempt - Exempt from being banned ab.notify.ban - Receive ban notifications ab.undoNotify.ban - Receive unban notifications ab.notify.tempban - Receive temporary ban notifications ab.ipban.perma - /ipban ab.ipban.temp - /tempipban ab.notify.ipban - Receive IP ban notifications ab.tempipban.exempt - Exempt from temporary IP bans ab.notify.tempipban - Receive temporary IP ban notifications ab.mute.perma - /mute ab.mute.temp - /tempmute ab.mute.undo - /unmute ab.mute.exempt - Exempt from being muted ab.notify.mute - Receive mute notifications ab.undoNotify.mute - Receive unmute notifications ab.notify.tempmute - Receive temporary mute notifications ab.warn.perma - /warn ab.warn.temp - /tempwarn ab.warn.undo - /unwarn ab.warn.exempt - Exempt from being warned ab.notify.warn - Receive warning notifications ab.undoNotify.warn - Receive unwarn notifications ab.notify.tempwarn - Receive temporary warning notifications ab.note.use - /note ab.note.undo - /unnote ab.note.exempt - Exempt from having notes added ab.notify.note - Receive note notifications ab.undoNotify.note - Receive note removal notifications ab.all.undo - /unpunish ab.warns.own - /warns (view self) ab.warns.other - /warns PLAYER (view others) ab.notes.own - /notes (view self) ab.notes.other - /notes PLAYER (view others) ab.check - /check ab.check.ip - Also display IP ab.changeReason - /change-reason ab.banlist - /banlist ab.history - /history ab.reload - /advancedban reload ab.help - /advancedban help ab.systemprefs - /systemprefs ```

Limiting Punishment Durations

By default, users can punish others indefinitely as long they have the corresponding permission. You can set maximum punishment durations via `ab.tempban/tempmute/tempwarn.dur.X`. In the configuration file, there is a section named `TempPerms` that can be used to define the maximum punishment duration for different IDs. For example: ```yaml 1: 3600 ``` This means a user with the permission `ab.tempban.dur.1` can only ban for a maximum of 3600 seconds (i.e., 1 hour). The unit is seconds. If a user has multiple such permissions, the one with the higher number takes precedence. See `config.yml` for more details.

Hierarchical Exemption Permissions

For servers with large teams and complex hierarchies, you may need finer control over who can punish whom. To do this, you can assign exemption level permissions to users in the following format: ```yaml ab.TYPE.exempt.X ``` Where: - `TYPE` can be: ban, tempban, ipban, tempipban, warn, tempwarn, kick, mute, tempmute - `X` is an integer from 1 to 10 (10 is the highest privilege) If X is not specified (i.e., just `ab.TYPE.exempt`), it is equivalent to `ab.TYPE.exempt.11`, meaning complete immunity. > Note: Exemption permissions only take effect when the target player is online (unless using LuckPerms!) > Users of the same level cannot punish each other. **Examples**: - A user with `ab.ban.exempt` cannot be banned by anyone. - A user with `ab.ban.exempt.4` cannot be banned by a user with `ab.ban.exempt.3`, but can be banned by a user with `ab.ban.exempt.5`.

Additional Notes

If you are using this plugin on BungeeCord, you need to define permissions in BungeeCord's `config.yml` or manage them via a dedicated BungeeCord permissions plugin. The BungeeCord permission system does not support the `*` wildcard, so having `ab.*` does not grant access to all commands. To simplify configuration, AdvancedBanZ provides a setting called `EnableAllPermissionNodes`. When enabled, you can use `.all` instead of `.*`. For example, `ab.all` grants permission for all AdvancedBanZ commands. (Note: This feature does not work with negative permissions, e.g., `-ab.all` is invalid.)
