About Server Mutes

This feature is for Server Muting a player, and they will not be allowed to type in the chat of your server. This is different from muting a player so you personally no longer see their messages. If you want to server mute a user, you can either server mute them permanently or give them a temporary server mute that will expire after a specified amount of time.

Important Note: The server must be stopped while editing server files. You must save your edits and restart your server for any edits to take effect. Changes to server files require a server restart, so we recommend adding mutes with RCON commands or in-game chat commands!

1. In the Saved folder you must create a file called mutes.txt
2. Add the server muted users for your server in the text file and click "Save".

Path: Saved/mutes.txt

Formatting:

You must add each mute on a new line.

Mute by Alderon ID

Each line in your text file must follow this format:

AGID:UnixTimestamp:AdminReason:UserReason

Variable	Example	Description
AGID	123-443-512	The Alderon Games ID of the player.
UnixTimestamp	1644464516	If the mute is temporary, enter the Unix Timestamp of the date the player will be unmuted. You can generate the timestamp here https://www.epochconverter.com/. If the mute is permanent, set this to 0
AdminReason	Admin message here!	An internal message that will only be visible by admins. Useful for keeping notes. Can be left blank. NOTE: you cannot use a colon : in this description or else it will break your mutes.
UserReason	Muted for spamming the chat.	The message the user will see when attempting to type in chat. Ensure this is descriptive so the player understand why they were muted. NOTE: you cannot use a colon : in this description or else it will break your mutes.
