/whitelist

Manages the server whitelist. When enabled, only whitelisted players can join the server.

Syntax

/whitelist <add|list|off|on|reload|remove> [<targets>]

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
action	literal	Required	on/off = enable/disable whitelist; add/remove = manage players; list = show whitelisted players; reload = reload from file.
targets	game_profile	Optional	The player for add/remove actions.

Examples

/whitelist on

Enables the server whitelist.

/whitelist add Steve

Adds Steve to the whitelist.

/whitelist list

Displays all whitelisted players.

Common Mistakes

Turning on the whitelist without adding yourself first, you may lock yourself out if you disconnect.
Not using /whitelist reload after manually editing whitelist.json, changes from file edits do not apply until reloaded.

Notes

Players already connected are not kicked when the whitelist is enabled. Use 'enforce-whitelist=true' in server.properties to kick non-whitelisted players when the whitelist is reloaded.
