Interface BanEntry

  • public interface BanEntry
    A single entry from a ban list. This may represent either a player ban or an IP ban.

    Ban entries include the following properties:

    Property information
    Property Description
    Target Name / IP Address The target name or IP address
    Creation Date The creation date of the ban
    Source The source of the ban, such as a player, console, plugin, etc
    Expiration Date The expiration date of the ban
    Reason The reason for the ban

    Unsaved information is not automatically written to the implementation's ban list, instead, the save() method must be called to write the changes to the ban list. If this ban entry has expired (such as from an unban) and is no longer found in the list, the save() call will re-add it to the list, therefore banning the victim specified.

    Likewise, changes to the associated BanList or other entries may or may not be reflected in this entry.
