{{For|bans from Minecraft|Commands/ban}}{{More citations needed}}{{Stub|This page needs a history table. Add one if possible.}}

A ban or suspension is a punishment that is given to players who violate the rules of [[Minecraft:Minecraft]].<ref name=":0">[https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/4408964729869-Banned-Minecraft-Accounts-and-the-Appeal-Process Banned Minecraft Accounts and the Appeal Process | Minecraft Help]</ref> Bans can either be temporary or permanent, depending on what rule they violated.<ref name=":0" />

= History =
The first known system used for bans was MCAdmin, which was created by Doridian in 2011, owned by Team Avolition. It operated with a 3-strike system. Once a player was banned from 3 servers with MCAdmin, they would be banned from all servers using the plugin.<ref name=":1">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEfyaAq90kg</ref>

Sometime in the Nether Update for [[Minecraft:Bedrock Edition]], [[Minecraft:Mojang Studios|Mojang]] added bans to Minecraft. When a player was violating the rules, they would be banned from Minecraft. Later on, Minecraft made it so that on XBOX and Nintendo Switch, they couldn’t play on their own single player [[Minecraft:World|worlds]].<ref name=":1" />

In Java Edition 1.19.1, along with [[Minecraft:Social interactions|chat reporting]], players could also be banned from [[Minecraft:Java Edition]].<ref name=":1" />

[[Minecraft:Realms]] don’t pause when banned, and the player will not get their [[Minecraft:Realms|Realm]] extended or refunded. They also will be charged if it would be.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2">https://youtu.be/FbLFIH-pa-0?si=JBZyNCRPURo6upok</ref>

= Screens =
When the player gets banned from Minecraft, a screen will show up every time Minecraft is opened telling the user that they’ve been suspended or banned from Minecraft. {{Citation needed}}

Every time a world is opened on Bedrock Edition, a popup will show telling the user that they can't use [[Minecraft:multiplayer]].<ref name=":2" />

== Java Edition ==
In Java Edition, the ban screen is similar to the Regular Disconnection Screen, except it shows the [[Minecraft:Title Screen|title screen]] [[Minecraft:Panorama|background]], but blurred.<ref name=":2" /><ref name=":3">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4-Ch0dLRGY&t=428s Microsoft Just Falsely BANNED Me From Minecraft... So I Exposed Them...]</ref> The text is entirely in [[Minecraft:Mojangles]]; The heading in the top center of the screen shows if the account is temporarily or permanently suspended.<ref name=":1" /> Below it, normal text saying that Mojang received a report for bad behavior and that they banned the player. It would show how long until the player is unbanned (on temporary bans only), and what they can’t do on Minecraft while there banned.<ref name=":1" /> At the bottom, there were 3 buttons:

·    Open in Browser – opens a webpage about bans in the user’s default web browser.{{Citation needed}}

·    Copy to Clipboard – Copies the URL link to the user’s clipboard.{{Citation needed}}

·    Acknowledge – Closes the ban message and takes the player to the title screen.<ref name=":3" />

=== Title Screen ===
When the player goes to the title screen when banned, the Multiplayer and Realms Buttons will be grayed out. Hovering over them will say “Multiplayer is disabled. Please check your account settings” or “Your account has been temporarily/permanently suspended from Online Play.”<ref name=":3" />

=== Joining a server ===
If a player joins a [[Minecraft:server]] before the ban screen is shown, an error message will appear saying “Failed to login: you are banned from playing online.”<ref name=":3" /> After, the next time they see the screen, the Multiplayer button will be grayed out.{{Citation needed}}

== Bedrock Edition ==

== Screen 1 ==
This is the only screen with an icon. To the left is a hammer (gavel) striking the top of a layered [[Minecraft:block]]. To the right, in [[Minecraft:Noto Sans]], which is used for all parts of the normal ban screens, except buttons and the title, is text saying that the user was banned from Minecraft and that they will not be allowed to use certain features.<ref name=":1" />

In a later update, the word “Online” was removed from “Minecraft Online,” and the text saying players won’t be able to play their own singleplayer worlds on some platforms was added.{{Citation needed}}

== Screen 2 ==
This screen says that the user was banned and that they can’t use certain features, like the previous one.<ref name=":1" /> There is a glitch where players can’t open any [[Minecraft:Menu screen|menus]] and the ban message (without the “X” button) appears.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/MCPE/comments/vnnizp/banned_from_multiplayer_and_single_player_because/ Banned from multiplayer AND single player because I called a villager farm slavery in a private realm with three people on. : r/MCPE]</ref>

This screen was mostly retired with [[Minecraft:Ore UI]], using the 3<sup>rd</sup> screen instead.{{Citation needed}} A rare, dark version also exists.{{Citation needed}} The 3<sup>rd</sup> Screen is always dark theme.{{Citation needed}} Like Java Edition, temporary bans show how many hours/days are remaining on a ban.<ref name=":1" /> Bans are now sometimes known as suspensions.<ref>[https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/4340903/may-i-please-get-unbanned-from-minecraft-please-i May i please get unbanned from minecraft. Please i love playing the hive with my friends - Microsoft Q&A]</ref>

== Screen 3 ==
The current screen is similar, with another variant for bans from XBOX Live that never shows how much time is left until the unban.{{Citation needed}} If the ban is not due to XBOX Live and the ban is temporary, the player will see the time left until unban.<ref name=":2" /> The screen is always dark screen mode.{{Citation needed}} The screen uses Ore UI.{{Citation needed}}

= Appeals =
Players can appeal a ban, but for the first few months, all bans were permanent and could not be appealed at all.<ref name=":1" />

Not all bans can be appealed; if a ban is less than 1 days (24 Hours), or the ban was not appealed within 1 year of the ban being issued, it can’t be appealed anymore.{{Citation needed}}

Bans can be accepted or rejected. The “More Info” button links to the page where players can submit an appeal.{{Citation needed}}

= Banned Actions =
When the player is banned, they won’t be able to:

·    Join Realms<ref name=":1" />

·    Create Realms{{Citation needed}}

·    Use Multiplayer<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" />

·    Use the [[Minecraft:Marketplace]] or use Minecoins and Existing Content<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" />

·    Join Singleplayer Worlds on XBOX and Nintendo Switch{{Only|bedrock}}<ref name=":1" />

·    Use [[Minecraft:Social|Parties]]<ref name=":2" />

·    Use the [[Minecraft:Character Creator|dressing room]] or using existing clothing that is not on the [[Minecraft:player]]<ref name=":2" />
