In this guide, i will show you how to setup a whitelist on a Minecraft server. A whitelist, is a list of Minecraft usernames that is allowed to access your server. Any user that is not on this list, can’t login even if they have the IP to join the server.
Using a whitelist is always recommended when setting up a private server, where you only want your friends, and the poeple you want to join, to also be able to join. And not get any griefers or anyone you don’t know to access the server.
You can use these commands in the console of the server. But i will do it ingame.
First, make sure you are “opped” on the server, if you login. If you do this in the console on the server then you don’t need to op you first.
Login to your server.
Now do the following:
First i recommend adding the players you want on. For that your need their Minecraft usernames.
1:
Use the command:
/whitelist add <username>
In the example i do /whitelist add kehaan
Now keep adding the players you want to be able to access the server.
