Minecraft has built-in support for kicking players, but muting requires a plugin. Below is how to do both, depending on your setup.

Kick a Player (Default Command)

In-Game:

/kick playername [reason]

Console:

kick playername [reason]

The reason is optional, but it will show to the player when they are disconnected.

Mute a Player (Plugin Required)

Vanilla Minecraft doesn’t support muting players. To mute someone, you'll need a plugin like:

• EssentialsX: /mute playername and /unmute playername
• LuckPerms or other chat control plugins can also restrict speaking via permission groups

Notes

• Use /kick for quick moderation
• Use /mute only if you’ve installed a plugin that supports it
• All commands require OP or console access

If you need help installing a mute plugin or want recommendations, open a support ticket and we’ll guide you through it.
