How to Ban and Unban Players in Rust

Other Games·March 22, 2026·10 min read

When you own a Rust server, moderation is one of the most important aspects. When a player is breaking the rules, sometimes it is necessary to issue a ban, preventing them from joining the server again. This can be done in several ways, including through the server console or in-game commands.

Ban by SteamID:

1. Go to the SteamID.io website and search for the desired player's Steam.

2. Once found, copy the SteamID64 number.

3. Access your Holy server panel, then press the 'console' tab on the left.

4. To ban a player, you will use the following command:

```

banid [SteamID] [Username] "[Reason]"

```

Example: `banid 76561198169700921 StuffyMC "Guide"`

Ban by Username:

1. Access your Holy server panel, then press the 'console' tab on the left.

How to Check the Ban List:

Checking the ban list is fairly easy. To do so, enter the following command:

unban [SteamID]

Example: `unban 7656443241198169700921`
