Dashboard Player Manager GUI Guide

Instead of memorizing long console commands or manually editing ops.json, whitelist.json, and banned-players.json, the FreeMcHosting dashboard features an intuitive Player Manager GUI.

Features of the Player Manager

The Player Manager interface provides complete oversight of your server's player community:

• Live & Historical Player Lists: See who is currently playing, along with players who logged in previously.
• Player Skin & Info View: Displays official Minecraft skins, UUIDs, IP addresses, and first/last seen timestamps.
• One-Click Moderation Actions:
• Ban Player: Bans the user by username or IP address with custom ban reasons.
• Op / Deop: Grants or revokes vanilla operator status instantly.
• Whitelist Toggle: Adds or removes players from the whitelist with a toggle button.
• Kick Player: Disconnects the player from the active session.
• Delete Player Data: Removes corrupted player .dat files from the world directory to fix inventory or corrupted chunk login crashes.
