How high is the risk that I will be banned because of multiaccounting?

I already have an account on a Minecraft server that is not banned. But because everything went wrong there and I don't have any more money, I want to get (buy) a new account to start all over again.

I would then just ignore the other account and never use it again. If I do that now, how high would the risk be that I will be banned because of multi-accounting?

Si

You can use another account, but you can't be banned if your main account is not banned.

Lu

The best thing is to just change the IP 👍🏻 Hardware ID bans at MC I don't think so (change my mind)

Al

The rules say that you will be banned from multiaccounting

Al

How can I change the IP?

tr

If you restart the router and should have a dynamic IP, the server should actually no longer be able to find out that you have a new account.

Often, however, the simultaneous use of several accounts or pushing a main account with a multi-account is prohibited.

In Minecraft itself, as far as I know, multi-accounts are allowed, in any case I have not yet been banned because of simultaneous users of my 3 accounts.

Si

Oh so ok. But they can't check that, it could also be your brother, sister, etc.

Al

Yes, well, but multiaccounting means playing on the same PC with a second account and I would do that in that case and if I have not misunderstood you will be banned for it

Si

But they can't find out which device you're playing on. They can only see your IP. But everyone who is in your WLAN or LAN has the IP.

Al

Does the IP actually change without a restart?

Al

So if I play with a second account now, I won't get banned?

tr

, actually already.

Often within 24 hours to 7 days, in America, for example, possibly just every month.

Dr

Either search in the router settings or turn it off for 30-60 minutes then you will also get a new IP

Al

So if I turn my PC off at 1 or 2 a.m. And only turn it on again at 10 or 11 a.m., my IP has changed and both accounts would have two different IPs and they would not find out that I have a second account?

tr

, depends on your provider.

In addition, your IP could change during the day.

Al

I would like to buy the new account in 2 months, then I would go to the server quickly today and give my stuff away and then don't go on it until I have the new account.

Do you think that I will be 100% save before a ban because of multiaccounting?

tr

, 100% maybe not (with some strange software like MysteryMod I could imagine that something will be logged there), but very likely nobody will notice.
It's best to have a look at test-ipv6.com, what your current IPv4 and IPv6 are, take a screenshot of it (please don't say this here, otherwise people could do stupid things with it) and open again after restarting the router the page, then check the displayed address (es) against the old addresses. If they are all different, then you have new IP addresses.

Al

OK thanks.
