IPViewer

🌐 Overview

IPViewer is a plugin for Paper Minecraft servers version 1.20 and above, designed for server administrators and moderators. It provides a simple way to view players' IP addresses, helping with server management and detecting ban evasion or alt accounts.

All technical settings and features presented here are for the latest version of the plugin and will not always work on older versions.

🔍 Features

• View all players who have joined the server since the plugin was installed, along with their IP addresses and last seen time
• Filter and search player IPs easily
• Detect shared IPs across multiple accounts
• Helps track down ban evasion and suspicious activity

📜 Commands

Here are all the commands that can be used in the plugin:

• /ipv help - Displays all available plugin commands
• /ipv reload - Reloads the plugin configuration
• /ipv list <filters (optional)> - Shows a list of players with optional filters (e.g., by IP or join time)

🪪 Filters for /ipv list

The /ipv list command supports flexible filters to help you search and organize player IP data. All filters can be used together in a single command.

Filter	Description
page:<number> or just <number>	Displays a specific results page (e.g., /ipv list 2 or /ipv list page:2)
player:<text>	Filters results by player name (supports partial matches and wildcards)
ip:<text>	Filters by IP address (supports partial matches and wildcards)
country:<text>	Filters by country name or code (e.g., country:United States)
state:<text>	Filters by region or state (useful for more granular IP geolocation, e.g., state:New York)
time:<duration>	Shows only players seen within a time range (e.g., time:24h, time:30m)

🧠 Wildcards

Filters that use text (player, ip, country, state) support SQL-style wildcards:

• % - Matches any sequence of characters
• _ - Matches a single character

You can also use spaces in filter values:

• Replace spaces with + - country:United+States
• Wrap the value in quotes - state:"New York"

When quotes are used, + characters are preserved as written.

📌 Example

/ipv list player:stev% ip:192.168.% time:7d page:3

This command shows page 3 of players whose names start with stev, IP starts with 192.168., and who have been seen in the last 7 days.
