This is for when the server is accepting clients that do not match the version of CraftBukkit. (Like 1.6.4 Bukkit for 1.7.X Clients) This does not apply when CraftBukkit is up to date with the clients.

Lots of ban appeals are saying like "I could not get one" and lots of new threads are being created asking if a person is banned. Here are some ways to see if you are banned:

1. Do you get one of the following error messages?
With the versions not matching, ban messages can't load properly, which may result in one of 2 errors:
-"Internal Exception: io.netty.handler.codec.DecoderException: java.io.IOEXCEPTION: Bad packet id _____"
-"Internal Exception: io.netty.handler.codec.CorruptedFrameExpectation: length wider than 21-bit"

2. Ask a mod on the forums
The mods are able to see if someone is banned, and are able to help find who banned you. They may not be able to help see why that person was banned, but can get to the mod who knows. (Mods always have proof for a ban, it states in the rules it is needed.)

3. Make sure you get the server "ping"
If the server says like "XXX/500" members, because if you can't get the ping, the Mojang AB servers may be down, the server may be down, or your internet or computer is having issues (remember you do not need to have any internet to open any version of Minecraft you have, with the exception of some mods.)

If you want me to add something, post below. Mods are aloud to edit this and/or pin it if deemed necessary.

 

Or you can tell in the account of the fact that it says "Banned"

 

One problem, I said "clients that do not match the version of CraftBukkit" , which means error messages occur when entering, meaning you can't see if you are banned.

 

Oh...

Seriously?! ._.

Ok, sorry, rating removed.

 

Sweet, the hack did not erase this.
