## Description
\nIpApprove blocks player connections at **pre-login** until their IP address is approved by an administrator.<\/p>\n

This is mainly useful for **offline-mode servers (online-mode=false)** as a simple alternative to password\/auth plugins when you run a **small private server for friends**.
\nNot recommended for large public servers.<\/p>\n

### How it works
\n– If a player joins from an unknown IP, the server rejects the connection and records the attempt as **pending**.
\n– An admin approves the IP via a command (permanent or time-limited).
\n– Allowed IPs are stored in `plugins\/IpApprove\/allowed-ips.yml`.<\/p>\n

### Commands (permission: `ipapprove.admin`)
\n– `\/ipapprove allow [minutes]` \u2014 allow an IP (permanent or timed)
\n– `\/ipapprove deny ` \u2014 remove an IP from the allow-list
\n– `\/ipapprove list` \u2014 list allowed IPs + time remaining
\n– `\/ipapprove pending` \u2014 show recent blocked attempts
\n– `\/ipapprove info ` \u2014 show status for one IP
\n– `\/ipapprove reload` \u2014 reload `allowed-ips.yml` from disk<\/p>\n

### Notes \/ limitations
\n– IP-based access control works best when players have relatively stable IP addresses.
\n– If you use a proxy (Velocity\/Bungee), configure forwarding properly so Paper sees the real client IP.<\/p>\n
