NoNew - a mod to prevent new players from joining a server

Sometimes you need to lock down a server to existing members, tempoarily or permanently - the reasons are yours, and you know best.

NoNew allows just that. Activate the mod in your world.mt and start the server, it is active. From thereon out, when a new player attempts to connect, they are prevented from joining.

Once active you can also mark some previously joined users as "new" - they will be denied access as being "new" players when they try to join. Once you lift the NoNew restriction, they will be allowed to join again.

Code: Select all

/nn_block newGuy newGal someoneElse

-- or individually unblock players :

/nn_unblock newGal

Therefore, this is not a ban manager.

In-game, you can turn off NoNew with

Code: Select all

/nn_state off

to allow all players to join once again (players banned using a ban manager are not affected, and remain banned).

Seems simple and universally usable enough. Have you considered putting this mod in `minetest-mods`? This seems like the typically basic utility mod that lots of people may want to use, and help maintain.

BTW, please add your license (GPL-3.0) and dependencies (none) to the topic so this can be moved to mod releases.

Adjusted ; also updated the license to LGPLv3 as of tag 1.0

Nice mod! I hadn't considered doing this with a mod; I'd thought of setting a default password that no one knows, but that's hacky. Your mod does this in a much cleaner way.

Does this support DACA? What about illegals who are already in the border?

I can assure everyone I haven't made anybody pay for the border or raised it through taxes, it's formed from virtual sweat and bag loads of hot air, released and collected from a single individual, in line with Obama's policies it supports DACA but that is deferred to the individual server owners stance.

Illegal immigrants may have infiltrated the homeland so speak to your local Walmart store manager about it and make sure to have a tyrannical grip of virtual reality. Tweeting churlish thoughts to the horde is highly recommended to retain an overbearing presence as is revocation of security clearance if you don't like the cut of their jib.

Wow this is a great mod. Exactly what I wanted :D

Cool mod :) Just wanted to mention that locking out new accounts is also possible with auth_rx: when $is_new eq $true fail

Here's some rulesets based on date, time, or day of the week.
