How to Enable/Disable Whitelist (Bedrock)

Enabling the whitelist ensures that only approved players can join your Bedrock server. This is especially useful for private communities, staff-only setups, or family servers. ✔️

⛏️ What Is a Whitelist?

The whitelist is a list of allowed player usernames. When enabled, only players on that list can join your server. Everyone else will receive a message saying they are not whitelisted. ⚠️

➕ How to Enable the Whitelist

  • ➡️ Log into your control panel
  • ➡️ Go to the File Manager
  • ➡️ Open server.properties
  • ➡️ Find the line white-list=false and change it to true
  • ✔️ Save and restart the server to apply the change
✅ The whitelist is now enabled — only players you add to it can join.

⚔️ How to Add or Remove Players

  • ➡️ Open the Console in your game panel
  • ➡️ Use the command: whitelist add PlayerName
  • ✔️ Repeat this for each player you want to allow
  • ➡️ To remove someone, use: whitelist remove PlayerName

➖ How to Disable the Whitelist

  • ➡️ Return to server.properties
  • ➡️ Change white-list=true back to false
  • ➡️ Save and restart the server
✔️ Disabling the whitelist allows any player to join (based on other access settings).
