Managing the Whitelist
The whitelist allows you to control who can join your server. Be aware that ops will always be able to connect to the server, regardless of whether they’re in the whitelist.
When the whitelist function is enabled, only players named on the whitelist will be allowed to login to your server.
Players can be added to the whitelist through the usage of in-game commands or by editing the whitelist.json file.
Beware, however: if you manually change the file, you will have to reload the whitelist or restart the server for the
changes to go into effect. Additionally, pay special heed to the syntax, as the whitelist won’t work if it is wrong. An
example of a correctly formatted whitelist file can be found at JSON Syntax.
To enable the whitelist, use
/whitelist onTo disable the whitelist, use
/whitelist offTo add a player to the whitelist, use
/whitelist add playernameTo remove a player from the whitelist, use
/whitelist remove playernameTo show all players on the whitelist, use
/whitelist listTo reload the whitelist after a manual change to the file, use
/whitelist reload
The whitelist can also be enabled or disabled by editing the server.properties file, although this will only affect the game after server reload or restart.
