## \ud83d\udee1\ufe0f DenyDDoS<\/p>\n
DenyDDoS is a lightweight Minecraft server plugin that helps protect your server from basic network-based attacks such as connection floods, bot joins, and simple DDoS-style traffic spikes. It works by monitoring and limiting suspicious connection behavior before it can overwhelm your server.<\/p>\n
### What it does
\nDenyDDoS adds a defensive layer to your Minecraft server that filters and throttles excessive or automated connection attempts. It is designed to reduce the impact of:
\n– Bot-driven join floods
\n– Repeated rapid connection attempts from single or distributed sources
\n– Basic traffic spikes that can destabilize server performance <\/p>\n
### Why you might want it
\nIf you run a public or semi-public Minecraft server, unexpected traffic is almost guaranteed. DenyDDoS helps keep your server playable and stable by reducing downtime caused by low-effort attacks or overload attempts. It\u2019s especially useful for:
\n– Public SMP servers exposed to open join traffic
\n– Minigame or event servers that experience sudden player spikes
\n– Small to medium servers that don\u2019t yet use enterprise-grade DDoS protection <\/p>\n
### Important information before installing
\n– DenyDDoS is not a full replacement for professional or enterprise DDoS mitigation services. It helps with lightweight protection at the server level, but cannot stop large-scale network attacks on its own.
\n– It is best used as a first line of defense, ideally alongside proper hosting-level or network-level protection.
\n– Configuration options are available in `config.yml` after installation, allowing you to adjust sensitivity and behavior.<\/p>\n
### Installation
\n1. Download the latest snapshot build from the GitHub releases page
\n2. Place the plugin into your server\u2019s `plugins\/` folder
\n3. Restart your Minecraft server
\n4. Configure settings in `config.yml` <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
