How to kick and ban someone on a Terraria server

When someone disrupts the room, the panel Console fixes it right away. kick sends them out. ban stops them from returning. Both use the character name in the world, for example lucia.terra.

Kick

  1. Open the server in the RoxyCloud panel.
  2. Confirm the world is running.
  3. Open the Console.
  4. See who is online with playing.
  5. Send kick with the exact name.
Panel Console
playing
kick lucia.terra

Ban

The vanilla ban needs the player connected. If lucia.terra is in the room, the command writes the block.

Panel Console
ban lucia.terra

Remove the ban

  1. Open the Files tab.
  2. Open the banlist.txt file.
  3. Delete the player line and the IP tied to it.
  4. Save the content.
  5. If the server was stopped, start again with Power.

After that the person tries to join again through the IP. If they still get blocked, check that nothing is left in the file and that password or whitelist are not blocking for another reason.
