How do I kick or ban a player from my RuneScape: Dragonwilds server?
Kick and ban tools live in the Jagex client, not in the Blacksmith Portal console. Set an Admin Password and Owner ID, restart, then moderate from Settings → Server.
A kick drops someone from the current session; they can rejoin. A ban blocks them until an owner unbans them. Prefer a kick unless you are sure they should stay out.
Open Server Management
Section titled “Open Server Management”- Join your world
- Press Esc

- Enter the admin password if you are not already the owner, then confirm
Kick or ban
Section titled “Kick or ban”- Open the Social section on that Server screen
- Select the player in the in-world list
- Choose Kick or Ban
Kicked and banned players move into the matching lists on the same screen.

Only the owner (Player ID matches Owner ID) can unban. Password admins cannot.
What each role can do
Section titled “What each role can do”| Role | How you get it | Kick / ban |
|---|---|---|
| Owner | Player ID matches Owner ID | Ban and unban anyone, online or offline |
| Admin | Entered the admin password on this screen | Can ban regulars who are online. Cannot unban |
| Player | Joined the world | No moderation tools |
There is no Vintage Story-style whitelist and no Palworld /ban console command. To keep random players out, set a world password instead of relying on bans.
Frequently Asked Questions
Section titled “Frequently Asked Questions”Why can I not unban someone?
Section titled “Why can I not unban someone?”You authenticated with the admin password but you are not the owner. Join on the account whose Player ID is set as Owner ID, or change Owner ID (stop the server first) and restart.
Can I remove one admin without changing the password?
Section titled “Can I remove one admin without changing the password?”No. Admin access is the shared password, not a per-player ACL. Change Admin Password, restart, and share the new value only with people who should still moderate.
