AdminBan (ABan) — Anti-Raid & Higher-Rank Mitigation System AdminBan (ABan) is a specialized, high-security utility plugin designed to protect your Minecraft server from rogue staff members and "senior administration raids."
On most servers, if a Senior Admin or Head Admin decides to abuse their power and destroy the server (clear the map, ban players, delete plugins), lower-tier staff members are left completely helpless because they lack the permissions to stop them. AdminBan changes that. It introduces a unique "Emergency Containment" system that allows trusted junior staff to temporarily lock down higher-ranking admins until a Server Owner (Operator) or the Console can review the situation.
🛡️ How It Works: The Mitigation System When a Junior Staff member detects suspicious or malicious activity from a Senior Admin, they can execute the emergency command.
Once triggered, both the target (Senior Admin) and the initiator (Junior Staff) are instantly stripped of their administrative privileges. * Why restrict the Junior Staff too? This completely prevents lower-tier staff from abusing this command to mutiny against innocent senior staff. It ensures the command is used only in true emergencies, as the initiator sacrifices their own permissions in the process.
Both players are placed into a restricted quarantine state (unable to type commands, break blocks, interact, or harm the server) and can only be restored manually after an investigation.
💻 Commands & Usage /aban [reason]
Description: Initiates an emergency lockdown on the specified higher-rank admin.
Result: Instantly restricts both the target and the sender. Strips OP (if applicable), clears active unsafe permissions, logs the action across all channels, and places them in a lockdown state.
Note: This command cannot be bypassed by standard in-game permission nodes.
🔑 Security & Restoration (Unbanning) To maintain absolute security, no in-game rank or staff member—no matter how high—can undo an AdminBan. Standard /pardon, /unban, or permission group changes will not work.
Restoration Requirement: Privileges and permissions can ONLY be restored directly via the Server Console or by a player with OP (Operator) status using a specific recovery command after the incident has been investigated and resolved.
⚙️ Features 🚀 Zero-Delay Protection: Instantly stops a malicious admin mid-action before they can cause further damage.
🤝 Mutual Restriction: Restricts both the accuser and the accused to prevent mutiny and command abuse.
🔒 Hard Lockdown: Strips creative mode, blocks all commands (except those whitelisted by the owner), disables block breaking/placing, and prevents inventory manipulation during lockdown.
📡 Console & Discord Logging: Automatically logs the exact time, reason, and players involved directly to the console and your Discord staff logs (via Webhooks).
🚫 Bypass Proof: Designed so that even if a Senior Admin has * (wildcard) permissions, the plugin's internal check overrides it to allow lower ranks to lock them down.
