When at school a group of my friends and i have a lan server. But ofter encounter griefs. Should there be the option to add a password to protect the server? YES PLEASE SUPPORT THIS NOW!
Well, if you insist. I don't think LAN servers need a password. There are varying ways to deal with griefers, for instance, not opening your world to LAN. Also, last time I checked school wasn't meant for Minecraft LAN parties. Not judging, or anything, but that's the risk you take by playing LAN games while at school.

Wouldn't it just be easier to only share the IP/port info with the people you want to join? I use LAN with other guys in the barracks and we just keep the info between us -- allows other guys to have their own worlds to play about it, and let's us have our fun.
[EDIT: Ah -- My friends and I use custom launchers that hide all LAN connections by default, I sometimes forget that this doesn't happen for everybody. Ignore me.]
First. Spawn everyone with no cheats and adventure. Second make your friends creative. Sure. You have to do all the commands for them but it protects against griefers. PS: You are lucky you can play MC at school. Btw what is the project?
I'd love some sort of whitelisting or password for LAN servers, it seems that they're quite vulnerable and fragile without it. Unfortunately, over the past two years griefing has become much more common and it has become necessary to have protections of some sort. Perhaps try changing the default to adventure mode? Then you can easily type

/gamemode 1 Megaloneus
and be done with it.
I don't think an IP ban would do much against LAN griefers, as they generally share the IP.
But the problem is changing your offline name. You can easily have a client hat allows you to log on to whoever you want, but IP bans block PC specific logins to your server rather than username specific.

I would love it if you checked out my "about me" page on my profile and looked at my threads I'm always happy to see new posters.

No, they actually never share the same IP address unless you do port forwarding and let them connect to the school's public IP address. Within the NAT, they all have local (255.255.255.0 or 255.255.0.0 subnet) addresses.
I can't believe there's no whitelist for "LAN" games. Another reason why I just host a Bukkit server whenever I want to have a LAN party.
I get that its annoying with the griefers and all but you'd have to create a set protocol for dealing with these people on your own LAN.
Like
1st Offence -- Warn
2nd Offence -- TempBan
3rd Offence -- KICK and implement the password so it would be a perma-kick in a way. The trouble is how would the other players (some ppl play in groups or together) not tell him the password? May be ineffective.
...but that's just like, my opinion, man.
Well in that case, why doesn't your teacher do anything about it?

Sadly there isn't a way to tell who they are, they could be using a cracked version and change their names often.

then, when people join, type /gamemode creative <friends_name>
you and your friends are in creative while the griefers are in adventure and cant do anything

Dr. Who, Divergent, Hunger Games, and coffee obsessed. And guess what?
Peek in the spoiler.I think that this idea is stupid just create a server and have a whitelist
YOu realize you necroed a 2 year old thread, right?
