Configuration

Edit plugins/IPLimit/config.yml to customize the plugin:

# IP Limit Configuration

# Max players allowed per IP (This limits concurrent sessions for the valid account)
max-players-per-ip: 1

# Permission to bypass checks (Ops usually have this)
bypass-permission: "iplimit.bypass"

# Message shown when kicked due to IP limit/Binding (Supports Color Codes like &c, &4)
kick-message: "&cYou are not allowed to join with this IP! 1 Account per IP limit."

# Message shown when kicked for using an Alt account
alt-kick-message: "&cAlt accounts are not allowed! This IP is bound to another account."

# Binding expiration policy (never, 1w, 1m)
binding-expiration: "never"

# Discord webhook settings (optional)
discord-webhook-enabled: false
discord-webhook-url: "webhookurl here"
discord-webhook-username: "Advanced Synkai IP limiter"
discord-webhook-embed-color: 16711680

# Whitelisted IPs (These IPs bypass all checks)
whitelisted-ips:
  - "192.168.1.1"
  - "10.0.0.1"

Discord Webhook Setup

To get real-time notifications of IP violations:

1. Create a Discord webhook in your server settings
2. Copy the webhook URL
3. Edit config.yml:

   discord-webhook-enabled: true
   discord-webhook-url: "https://discord.com/api/webhooks/YOUR_WEBHOOK_ID/YOUR_WEBHOOK_TOKEN"
   

4. Customize the webhook username and embed color as desired
5. Reload the plugin with /iplimit reload

---

How It Works

1. First Connection - Player joins with their IP, account is bound to that IP
2. Same IP, Same Account - ✅ Allowed (logged in again)
3. Same IP, Different Account - ❌ Kicked (alt account detected)
4. Different IP, Same Account - ⚠️ Allowed (new IP, rebinding)
5. Whitelisted IP - ✅ Always allowed
6. Bypass Permission - ✅ Ops and VIPs bypass all checks

---

Features in Detail

Account Binding

Once a player joins, their account is bound to their IP address. This prevents other accounts from using the same IP.

Binding Expiration

Configure how long bindings remain active:

• never - Bindings are permanent
• 1w - Bindings expire after 1 week
• 1m - Bindings expire after 1 month

IP Whitelist

Add trusted IPs (proxy, testing, corporate networks) to bypass all checks:

whitelisted-ips:
  - "192.168.1.1"
  - "10.0.0.1"

Set custom limits for whitelisted IPs:

whitelisted-ip-limits:
  "127.0.0.1": 5  # Allow 5 players from localhost

Debug Mode

Enable debug logging to troubleshoot issues:

debug: true

Check console for detailed information about:

• Player connections
• IP bindings
• Permission checks
• Webhook requests

Troubleshooting

Players Getting Kicked Unexpectedly

1. Check the player's IP: /iplimit info <player>
2. Verify whitelisted IPs if needed
3. Check if player has iplimit.bypass permission
4. Enable debug mode for more info

Discord Webhook Not Working

1. Verify the webhook URL is correct
2. Check discord-webhook-enabled: true
3. Ensure the webhook hasn't been deleted from Discord
4. Check console for error messages with debug enabled

Config Not Updating

1. Use /iplimit reload to reload configuration
2. Ensure YAML formatting is valid
3. Check file permissions on config.yml
