How to Enable and Add a Whitelist for Your Minecraft Server
1. Enable the Whitelist
- Access your server console here.
- Enter the command:
whitelist on
Note: for Bedrock users you will need to find your server.properties in the File Manager and change Allowlist from False to True.
2. Add Players to the Whitelist
- Use this command to add a player:
whitelist add <username> (substitute all commands for "allowlist" instead of "whitelist" if you are using a bedrock server).
- Example:
whitelist add Steve
3. Remove Players from the Whitelist
- To remove a player, use:
whitelist remove <username>
4. View Whitelisted Players
- Check all whitelisted players with:
whitelist list
5. Save Changes
- Save and reload the whitelist with:
whitelist reload
6. Edit the Whitelist File (Optional)
- Open
whitelist.json in your server files to manually edit.
- Add players in this format:
[{"uuid": "player-uuid", "name": "PlayerName"}]
Now your server whitelist is active, allowing only approved players to join!
