All Minecraft servers come with a default functionality called whitelist, which limits access to the server. The whitelist is a file where you write the usernames of the players you want to allow entry.
While all servers have a default whitelist, we do not recommend using it as it only occasionally works reliably. It only makes sense to use it if you cannot use plugins on your server due to its software limitations. If using plugins is possible, we recommend using a whitelist plugin, as they tend to be more reliable.
Next, we will show you how to configure both the default Minecraft whitelist and a whitelist from a plugin.
First, go to your server in our Control Panel.
It is necessary that you have at least started the server once completely. If you haven't done it, do it first, and then come back to the tutorial.
Once you've done that, enter the File Manager, which is located at the top of the screen.
There, look for a file called server.properties. Open it and find a variable named white-list. By default, it will have the value set to false. You need to replace it with true, save the file, and exit it.
Next, look for a file called whitelist.json. You will find an empty file with only [ ] inside. Within these brackets, you need to write the names of the players you want to allow entry to the server, as shown in the following screenshot:
Now, all that's left is to save the file and restart the server to apply the changes. If you want to deactivate the whitelist at any time, you can simply go back to server.properties and replace true with false in the white-list variable.
We will be using EasyWhitelist.
You will need to have started the server at least once before following these steps.
The first step is to turn off the server and download the plugin. Then, upload the plugin to your server (follow the tutorial on how to upload plugins to your server). Once it's uploaded, turn on the server again. Now you can use the plugin, which comes with the following commands:
To enable the whitelist:
To disable the whitelist:
To add a player to the whitelist:
To remove a player from the whitelist:
To list the players in the whitelist:
