Warden Guard.
Every release, every fix, and every improvement. Documented in one place.
v1.6.0
Ban expiryMay 28, 2026NewBans automatically expire based on level: Level 1 after 90 days, Level 2 after 1 year, Level 3 never — set on the backend, servers cannot change this
NewPlayers with an expired ban are no longer kicked on join; staff still receives a grey notification in chat
NewNew configurable warn_staff_expired_join message with {player}, {level} and {reason} placeholders
NewLookup page shows expired bans separately with a grey 'Verlopen ban' badge and the exact expiry date
NewAppeal page shows an info banner when the entered player's ban has already expired
v1.5.0
Extended report windowMay 9, 2026Imp/wg report can now be used up to 3 hours after a player has left the server, instead of 30 minutes
v1.4.0
Scan command & retry queueMay 7, 2026NewNew /wg scan command (wardenguard.admin): scans all currently online players and submits them to the API with UUID, username and IP, useful after a mass-join or first install
NewRetry queue: failed API calls on join are queued and retried every 30 seconds, up to five attempts per player
FixNew players were not saved to the database due to a missing default field, causing every join to fail silently
v1.3.0
Log all altsMay 5, 2026NewNew log_all: true option under alt_detection logs all shared IP addresses to staff chat, even when neither account is banned
NewConfigurable warn_staff_all message with {player} and {linked} placeholders for unbanned alt notifications
FixAlt detection API only returned accounts with an active ban, making unbanned alt links invisible
v1.2.0
Ban threshold alertsMay 3, 2026NewPlayers with a ban below the auto_ban_level threshold are now reported to staff instead of being silently ignored
NewWith auto_ban_level: 0 all players with an active ban are reported to staff on join
NewNew configurable warn_staff_on_join message with {player}, {level} and {reason} placeholders
FixAuto-ban previously did not check ban level, any active ban would result in a kick regardless of level
v1.1.0
Alt detectionMay 3, 2026NewIP-hash alt detection: on every join a SHA-256 hash of the IP is stored and compared against banned accounts
