Are you using a server in cracked/offline mode?

If so, that is a limitation in cracked servers entirely. Consider setting online mode on your server to avoid name changes unbanning users, as bans are then associated with their uuid.

I’m using waterfall so I must have offline mode. When I said single server in the question “What kind of server do you have (Bungeecord/single server)?” I meant I wasn’t using the AdvancedBan plugin on the waterfall proxy server.

advancedban does not support being installed on the subserver, put the plugin on your proxy, remove it from your subserver and that should do the trick

[ghost]

I can’t do that because I’m using a host called Minefort which is like Minehut where you don’t have access to the proxy server.

Then AdvancedBan is unfortunately not the plugin you're looking for, as it will cause issues like that if not being properly installed

Why don't you try /banip?

[ghost]

The command /ban-ip blocks the IP Address, not the UUID. They could change their IP address by various methods to bypass the punishment.

[Zhou-Shilin]

The command /banip is pretty extreme if you didn’t know so I don’t want to use that and /banip doesn’t block the username directly it blocks the IP so if someone was to get a VPN on, they could still join.

If that's the case, then you'd better turn on the online mode.

[ghost]

I don’t know if you read the previous replies, but I need offline mode for waterfall.

[Zhou-Shilin]

Maybe you can try to implement "fake online mod" through a plugin? Ask players to provide accessToken when they first log in, and then verify that the accessToken is paired with the player's uuid. I'm not sure if there is such a plugin, but I'm sure it can be implemented.

[Zhou-Shilin]

There is actually a simpler solution: whitelist.

[ghost]

My server is public so that wouldn’t be practical.

[Onako2]

The subserver still gets the real UUID of the player. When the subserver recieves the UUID it links the UUID with a username. The server will notice once someone changes their username. Once the username changes you could ban the new player and unban the old player or just directly edit it in the database.

[A248]

You have to tell AdvancedBan to use the correct "UUID mode." By default, it will auto-detect if your server is cracked and therefore use player names. There's a config option which lets you set the UUID mode to "intern."

Make sure your backend server has player information forwarding correctly configured, of course.
