| Since: | 1.4, 2.1.1 (ban reason), 2.5 (timespan) |
Bans or unbans a player or an IP address. If a reason is given, it will be shown to the player when they try to join the server while banned. A length of ban may also be given to apply a temporary ban. If it is absent for any reason, a permanent ban will be used instead. We recommend that you test your scripts so that no accidental permanent bans are applied.
Note that banning people does not kick them from the server. Consider using the kick effect after applying a ban.
Examples:
unban player
ban "127.0.0.1"
IP-ban the player because "he is an idiot"
ban player due to "inappropriate language" for 2 days
ban "127.0.0.1"
IP-ban the player because "he is an idiot"
ban player due to "inappropriate language" for 2 days

Breaks the block and spawns items as if a player had mined it
You can add a tool, which will spawn items based on how that tool would break the block (ie: When using a hand to break stone, it drops nothing, whereas with a pickaxe it drops cobblestone)
Examples:
on right click:
break clicked block naturally
loop blocks in radius 10 around player:
break loop-block using player's tool
loop blocks in radius 10 around player:
break loop-block naturally using diamond pickaxe
break clicked block naturally
loop blocks in radius 10 around player:

Creates an explosion of a given force. The Minecraft Wiki has an article on explosions which lists the explosion forces of TNT, creepers, etc. Hint: use a force of 0 to create a fake explosion that does no damage whatsoever, or use the explosion effect introduced in Skript 2.0. Starting with Bukkit 1.4.5 and Skript 2.0 you can use safe explosions which will damage entities but won't destroy any blocks.

Sends a message to the given player. Only styles written in given string or in formatted expressions will be parsed. Adding an optional sender allows the messages to be sent as if a specific player sent them. This is useful with Minecraft 1.16.4's new chat ignore system, in which players can choose to ignore other players, but for this to work, the message needs to be sent from a player.
Examples:
message "A wild %player% appeared!"
message "This message is a distraction. Mwahaha!"
send "Your kill streak is %{kill streak::%uuid of player%}%." to player
if the targeted entity exists:
message "You're currently looking at a %type of the targeted entity%!"

Request that the player's client download and switch resource packs. The client will download the resource pack in the background, and will automatically switch to it once the download is complete. The URL must be a direct download link.
The hash is used for caching, the player won't have to re-download the resource pack that way. The hash must be SHA-1, you can get SHA-1 hash of your resource pack using this online tool.

Teleport an entity to a specific location. This effect is delayed by default on Paper, meaning certain syntax such as the return effect for functions cannot be used after this effect.

If you're sending only the subtitle, it will be shown only if there's a title displayed at the moment, otherwise it will be sent with the next title. To show only the subtitle, use: send title " " with subtitle "yourtexthere" to player.
Note: if no input is given for the times, it will keep the ones from the last title sent, use the reset title effect to restore the default values.
