My teacher wants to be unbanned from minecraft server or detention?

I was at school and I told my teacher I had a Minecraft server. He wanted to know the IP. As he had minecraft. So I gave him it. He told me his minecraft name and said he would come on later, he came on and started using fly hacks and asked to be an admin. I said no as there were already many admins. He got angry and said he would give me 1 hour school detention if I didn't. I still said no and he started using hacks to destroy people's houses. I then banned him and the next day of school he gave me detention for banning him.

Can he do this?

Should I uninstall Minecraft?

It lost lots of it's charm and luster. Also, the big reason why I want to delete it is the fandom, made up largely of 11 year old kids who have a hard time making quality fan material. I don't want to be associated with that.

I know I should do what "makes me happy," but being a part of the fandom does NOT make me happy. Also, all I do on Minecraft anymore is just go to servers and troll people. I simply don't think the game is worth my time in this day and age.

Can Minecraft Servers legally ban me?

This is technically violating my first amendment freedom of expression and speech (I was banned for swearing), nor did I have a trial before my ban and the moderator did not read my Miranda rights. Not only this but I have seen Moderators search my inventory without probable cause which violates my 4th amendment right. Should I file a lawsuit?
