---

You can choose to automatically blacklist the Steam players having a VAC (Valve anticheat) or a Game (attributed by a game developer) ban.

It's a "Steam only" thing, as GamePass players don't really have an official public profile, so we can't know if they've been banned/marked in any way.

For this feature to work, you have to enter a Steam API key in the Steam API settings page.
CRCON can't receive any info from Steam if this API key isn't set.

Vac History Days

Block the player's entrance if the last VAC ban he received is not older than this number of days.
ie : If you set 730 (2 years) and he got banned 3 monthes ago (90 days), he won't be allowed to enter the server.
Default : 0 (disabled)

  "vac_history_days": 0,

Game Ban Threshold

Block the player's entrance if he has received at least this number of Game bans.
ie : If you set 2 and he got game banned 2 times, he won't be allowed to enter the server.
Default : 0 (disabled)

  "game_ban_threshold": 0,

Blacklist Id

The ID of the blacklist the players will be sent to.
Default : 0 (the default and always available blacklist)

  "blacklist_id": 0,

Ban On Vac History Reason

The message the player will get when kicked/banned by the blacklist.

  "ban_on_vac_history_reason": "You can't play on this server\nbecause you have received a VAC/Game ban\n{DAYS_SINCE_LAST_BAN} days ago.",

Auto Expire

This option automatically makes the ban temporary, so the player won't be allowed to enter until the latest VAC ban he has received is as old as you've set above. The ban will automatically expire on that date.
Default : true

  "auto_expire": true,

Whitelist Flags

If you want a VAC/Game banned player to enter, whatever the ban's age, you'll have to set the same whitelist flag here and on his CRCON profile. Default :

  "whitelist_flags": [
    "🚨"
  ],

No whitelist flag :

  "whitelist_flags": [],

Multiple whitelist flags :

  "whitelist_flags": [
    "🚨",
    "❤️"
  ],
