The Integrated Legacy Minecraft Ban System (LMBS), formerly Johny Bans (JBans), is a centralized, cross-server ban system for Minecraft servers runnning on legacy versions.
Its primary interface, the Legacy Minecraft Ban Database (LMBD; https://bans.johnymuffin.com) is a public list of banned players on servers using the LMBS. Players banned on one server using the LMBS can't join others using it.

Commands

  • /jban <username> (reason) (duration) - Ban a username on the LMBS.
  • /junban <username> - Unban a username on the LMBS - this will pardon any and all bans a specified username has across servers.
  • /jbcode - Recive the authentication code for the LMBD.
  • /mbexceptions - Manage server-specific ban exceptions.

Ban ID page

The page of a ban ID.

All ban ID pages use this format:

https://bans.johnymuffin.com/b/xxxxxE

where x is a placeholder value.

Information

  • Username
  • Admin
  • Reason

- Fallback value is Ban Reason Not Specified

  • Expiry

- Default value is permanent

  • Server
  • ID
  • Time Issued
  • Pardoned
  • Active

Ban modification

Ban modification modal.
The error message a player recives if they try to modify their own ban.

Only staff members of servers participating in the LMBS can modify bans.
They need to run /jbcode to get an authentication code to login.
After authentication, they can modify the information (reason, pardon, expiry) on the bans they themselves have issued, but not bans someone else has issued and on bans where they have themselves banned.

Evidence submission

Evidence submission & deletion UI modals.

Evidence is required for bans to take place cross-server.
Authentication is also required to upload evidence, however, evidence can be uploaded onto bans issued by other staff members on other servers, but evidence deletion can only be done by the ban issuer.

Ban appeal methods

A player needs to contact the server that banned them to appeal their ban.
They can also contact other servers for a server-specific exception.
Should that server be currently offline, they can request other servers using the LMBD to unban them.
For RetroMC, evidence is required for a ban to be valid; see RetroMC Staff Policy Manual#2. Documentation of Ban Evidence.
