How to whitelist your Minecraft server

Turn on the whitelist

1. Add yourself and your friends first, or you'll lock yourselves out: run whitelist add YourName in the console for each player.
2. Run whitelist on.
3. Check the list with whitelist list.

On Jump, the Players page has a Whitelist tab to add names and Settings has the whitelist switch, so you don't need commands at all.

Give yourself operator

Operators can use commands like /gamemode and /tp in game. In the console run op YourName, or use Make operator on the panel's Players page. Only op people you trust: they can do almost anything.

Ban, kick and unban

• kick Name reason: removes someone now; they can rejoin.
• ban Name reason: keeps them out. pardon Name undoes it.
• ban-ip Name: bans their IP too, for people who make new accounts.

Whitelisting Bedrock players

On a crossplay server Bedrock players have a prefix, usually a dot: whitelist .Steve, not Steve. With Floodgate, fwhitelist add Steve works too.
