monban (Whitelist)

monban 3.0.0 is a major rewrite of the plugin, with redesigned access control, explicit player identity handling, and restored Velocity support

This release moves monban beyond a simple standalone whitelist and introduces proper network-wide and scoped access control for Velocity servers

Highlights

• Restored full Velocity support
• Standalone whitelist support for Bukkit, Spigot, Paper, and Folia
• Explicit ONLINE and OFFLINE player identities
• Network-wide whitelist enforcement on Velocity
• SERVER_GROUP and SERVER access grants
• Per-backend OPEN and GRANT_REQUIRED access policies
• Optional hybrid ONLINE / OFFLINE authentication-flow selection for Velocity
• Unified /monban whitelist administration across supported platforms
• /monban access and /monban status for Velocity
• Strict, versioned YAML configuration and persistent access state
• Fail-closed access enforcement for security-sensitive failures

Downloads

Choose the JAR for your platform:

• monban-bukkit-spigot-3.0.0.jar — Bukkit / Spigot
• monban-paper-folia-3.0.0.jar — Paper / Folia
• monban-velocity-3.0.0.jar — Velocity

Do not install multiple platform builds on the same server

Java

monban targets Java 21 bytecode

Runtime requirements still depend on the Minecraft platform and version. In particular, Paper 26.1+ requires Java 25

Standalone servers

For standalone Bukkit, Spigot, Paper, or Folia servers, Minecraft's native whitelist must be disabled:

white-list=false

monban becomes the whitelist authority and provides /monban whitelist for administration

Velocity networks

The Velocity build acts as the network access authority

It can enforce both the global network whitelist and access to individual backend servers or server groups

Hybrid authentication-flow selection is also available for networks that need both ONLINE and OFFLINE identities
