Game Server Access Control Architecture

SteamID Formats (Steam2 vs SteamID64)

Source Engine games (Counter-Strike 2, Team Fortress 2) natively recognize legacy Steam2 formats (STEAM_0:X:XXXXX) in configuration files like banned_user.cfg, while modern engines (Rust, DayZ, ARK, Palworld) exclusively utilize 64-bit integer SteamID64s (76561198...). This formatter automatically resolves conversions.

Minecraft UUID Resolution

Modern Minecraft (Java 1.16+) servers enforce UUID-based player lookup in whitelist.json. For online-mode servers, Mojang authenticated UUIDs are required. For offline-mode or private LAN servers, this tool generates standard RFC 4122 Version 3 deterministic UUID hashes based on player usernames.

BattlEye GUIDs vs SteamID64

In Bohemia Interactive titles (DayZ, Arma 3), bans can be enforced at either the BattlEye layer (battleye/bans.txt) or the engine layer. BattlEye supports both 32-character MD5 GUIDs and direct SteamID64s, allowing automated enforcement across all clients.

DustBowl Warden Access Automation

With DustBowl Warden, access control files can be uploaded directly through the Web File Manager or synchronized automatically across multi-instance clusters via persistent volume mounts and scheduled cron backups.
