Use the kick command to disconnect a player from a native Minecraft Bedrock Edition server. Kicking a player does not permanently block that player.

Before you begin

  • Start the server and wait until it finishes loading.
  • Confirm that the player is connected.
  • Use the player’s exact Xbox Gamertag, including spaces and capitalization.
  • Put a Gamertag in quotation marks when it contains spaces, such as "Example Player".

Kick a player

1

Open the console

Open the server in the Purpify game panel, then open its console view.
2

Check the Gamertag

Find the player’s exact Xbox Gamertag in the console.
3

Run the kick command

Enter kick, the player’s Gamertag, and an optional reason. Do not add a leading / in the console.
4

Confirm the player disconnected

Check the console for the disconnect message.

Prevent the player from reconnecting

Kicking only ends the current connection. To prevent the player from reconnecting, enable the allowlist and remove the player’s Gamertag.
For Bedrock players joining through Geyser, use the Java server’s player-management tools instead of this native Bedrock command.
