Development Assistance setBanned depreciated?

What is the new way to ban players? I've looked and can't seem to find it.

 

The method 'setBanned()' does work.
And the other way, it is maybe a bit difficult to use.

Other way to ban in steps:
1. Create a file (Using the plugin itself) called for example: 'banned.yml'.
2. Use a PlayerLoginEvent and check if banned.yml contains playername, playeruuid or IP. (Does not matter).
3. If banned.yml contains player then cancel the login, and give them a message with for example: 'You are banned!'.

If it does work, then say it.
Tag me or pm me, if you want my help.

Greeting,
Ronald.

 

@tytwining You should read the reason to why the method is deprecated. http://jd.bukkit.org/dev/apidocs/org/bukkit/OfflinePlayer.html#setBanned(boolean)

 

@teej107 BanList#addBan() is pretty nice to use, because it have time support that is really useful in ban plugins.
