# Lockdown Mechanic

Lockdown can be used to temporarily lock your server from other players to joining in, they must have the permission:

```
sentry.bypass.lockdown
```

In order to not be kicked when using the command and when joining the server when **lockdown** is active.

***

### Starting a new Lockdown

You can start a lockdown by using the command below

```
/lockdown [reason]
```

The reason is optional, leaving it empty will start a lockdown using the default reason instead.

***

### Disabling Lockdown

You can end a lockdown by using the command below:

```
/lockdown end
```
