IPWhiteList Plugin

The IPWhitelist plugin for Minecraft servers (1.17+) allows server administrators to manage the IP addresses that are permitted to connect to the server. With this plugin, server owners can enforce strict IP-based access control, ensuring that only specific IP addresses are allowed to join, while others are automatically kicked with a customizable message. The plugin supports dynamic management of the whitelist through in-game commands and provides the ability to toggle the whitelist on and off without requiring a server restart.

Key Features:

• Whitelist Management: Admins can easily add or remove IP addresses to/from the whitelist.
• Configurable Kick Message: Customize the message shown to players whose IP is not whitelisted.
• IP List Display: View the current list of whitelisted IP addresses via simple commands.
• Enable/Disable Whitelist: Toggle the whitelist on or off with a command to allow or block IP-based access dynamically.
• Persistent Whitelist: The plugin saves all whitelisted IP addresses to a separate whitelist.yml file, ensuring they persist across server restarts.
• Command Aliases: The plugin supports both /ipwhitelist and /ipwl commands, offering flexibility for admins.
• Reload Support: Reload the whitelist from the whitelist.yml file without restarting the server.

Commands:

• /ipwhitelist add <IP> - Adds the specified IP address to the whitelist.
• /ipwhitelist remove <IP> - Removes the specified IP address from the whitelist.
• /ipwhitelist list - Lists all the whitelisted IP addresses.
• /ipwhitelist on - Enables the IP whitelist (blocks non-whitelisted IPs).
• /ipwhitelist off - Disables the IP whitelist (allows all IPs).
• /ipwhitelist reload - Reloads the whitelist from the whitelist.yml file, applying any manual changes.
• /ipwl (Alias) - Same as /ipwhitelist for easier access.

Configurable Options:

• whitelist-enabled: Toggle whether the whitelist is enabled or disabled.
• kick-message: Customize the message shown to players whose IP is not whitelisted.

Use Case Scenarios:

• Private Servers: Restrict access to a Minecraft server to a known group of players based on IP addresses.
• Admin Control: Enable or disable the whitelist dynamically, without needing to restart the server.
• Secure Access: Protect your server from unwanted or malicious connections by controlling who can join based on their IP.

This plugin is a perfect solution for server owners who want to manage access control and enforce an IP-based whitelist on their Minecraft server with ease.
