Creating whitelist on your Minecraft server

With the whitelist turned on, only players on the list can join your server. You manage it on the Players tab of the dashboard.

Turn on the whitelist

1. Open the Fragnet dashboard, go to My servers and select your server.
2. Select the Players tab. If you don't see it in the tab row, look under More.
3. In the Whitelist card ("Only whitelisted players can join."), turn the switch on.

If the server is running, the whitelist turns on right away. If it's stopped, it turns on the next time the server starts.

You can also turn it on in server.properties: on the Configuration tab, select server.properties, and in the Players group turn on Whitelist (see Change a setting). In the same group, Enforce whitelist kicks online players as soon as you remove them from the whitelist.

tip

If Whitelist in server.properties is tagged Applied at start, the value comes from your startup settings and is written into the file every time the server starts. Change it on the Configuration tab in that case, so it stays on after a restart. See Easy editor and raw file.

Add players to the whitelist

1. On the Players tab, type the player's Minecraft name in the Add a player card.
2. Select Whitelist. You see a confirmation such as "Added Steve to the whitelist."

Players who have already joined are listed under All players. Select Whitelist next to their name instead. Whitelisted players have a Whitelist tag.

To take a player off the list, select Remove from whitelist next to their name.

info

While the server is stopped, you can only add players who have joined the server before. To whitelist someone new, start the server first.

Use commands

You can also manage the whitelist from the Console card on the Overview tab while the server is running (see Send a command), or in game as an operator with a / in front of the command.
