Moderation commands

Bans are a server command. In Java Edition, /ban adds a name to the blacklist, /pardon removes it, and /kick disconnects someone with an optional reason. /op grants operator status and is stored in ops.json. None of these work unless the caller already has permission. A singleplayer host cannot kick themselves in the way a server kicks a guest.

Commands run on a server where the caller has permission. EaglerXServer translates browser connections; it does not give a browser player operator rights or remove server authentication requirements.

Op yourself from the console the first time.
/ban player reason
/pardon player
/kick player reason
Back up ops.json and the ban list before you experiment.
26.2 hosting is outside the EaglerXServer readme, so do not assume these commands are wired the same way there.

Questions

Can a browser player ban someone from the HTML file?

Only if that player was given operator rights on the server they joined.
