Whitelist, operators and bans

Keep a Minecraft server private with a whitelist, give trusted players op, and kick or ban the rest.

Three lists decide who can join and what they can do. Manage all of them on the Players page, or with commands in the Console.

Whitelist: keep it private

The simplest way to keep a server to your friends: turn it on in Settings and only the names you add can join. Add people in Players or with whitelist add Name. Use their exact in-game name. Bedrock players joining through Geyser show up with a . in front of their name.

Operators: who can run commands

Ops can use commands in-game, change game modes and teleport. Give it to people you trust, since an op can also op others or ban you. op Name and deop Name in the Console.

Kicks and bans

kick Name removes someone until they rejoin. ban Name keeps them out until you pardon Name. All three lists are plain JSON files in Files if you want to edit them by hand.
