Unturned servers allow you to ban, unban or kick a specific player should you need to.

Note

You will need to be a server administrator before you can use commands in-game. We have a guide on how to become an admin on your Unturned server, here.

Alternatively, you can use these commands via your control panel console by removing the / symbol before each command.

#Banning a Player

You can ban a player either through their in-game username or SteamID.

Command	Description
`/ban (player) [reason] [duration]`	Example: `/ban playerName "griefing" 60`. Bans a player with the optional reason of griefing for an optional duration of 60 seconds.
`/ban (Steam ID) [reason] [duration]`	Example: `/ban 012345678910 "griefing" 60`. Bans a SteamID with the optional reason of griefing for an optional duration of 60 seconds.

#Unbanning a Player

You can only unban a player through their Steam ID.

Command	Description
`/unban (Steam ID)`	Example: `/unban 012345678910`. This command unbans a specific player based on their SteamID.

#Viewing a Banlist

You can run the following command to get a list of all players banned on your server.

Command	Description
`/bans`	You can use this command to get a full list of all server bans. The output of this command will be displayed on your control panel console.

#Resetting a Banlist

If needed, you’ll be able to wipe your server ban list by resetting the Blacklist.dat file.

Access your Control Panel and Stop your server.
Navigate to the Files tab and locate the /Servers/YOUR_WORLD_NAME/Server/ directory.
Locate and delete the Blacklist.dat file(s).
Restart your server to ensure the changes apply.

#Kicking a Player

You can temporarily remove any player from the server by running the following command.
