Restricting Access to the Minecraft Server

Minecraft uses a whitelist to determine who is allowed on the server and who is not.
To do this, you need the UUID of the players you want to whitelist.
We describe here how you can get the UUIDs: How do I get my UUID

Tip: Administrators do not need to be added to the whitelist.
They can always join the server due to their status.

Basic Mode

In Basic Mode, you enter the Names and UUIDs under Admin Settings in the textarea White-list.
By default, it looks like this:

    [
      {
        "uuid": "33333333-3333-3333-3333-333333333333",
        "name": "User3"
      },
      {
        "uuid": "22222222-2222-2222-2222-222222222222",
        "name": "User2"
      },
      {
        "uuid": "11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111",
        "name": "User1"
      },
      {
        "uuid": "55555555-5555-5555-5555-555555555555",
        "name": "User5"
      },
      {
        "uuid": "44444444-4444-4444-4444-444444444444",
        "name": "User4"
      }
    ]

To add your Name and UUID, simply insert them between the "", for example:

    [
      {
        "uuid": "6cdae416-9ce2-4df9-8688-d1eb3c185ef4",
        "name": "MyIngameName"
      }
    ]

Advanced Mode

In Advanced Mode, you add the Names and UUIDs to the whitelist.json file.
Like in Basic Mode, players are added using the following format:

    [
      {
        "uuid": "6cdae416-9ce2-4df9-8688-d1eb3c185ef4",
        "name": "IngameName"
      },
      {
        "uuid": "6cdae416-9ce2-4df9-8688-d1eb3c185ef4",
        "name": "IngameName"
      }
    ]

Once you have made your entries, click Save and restart your server.

Important: If you remove all players from the whitelist, please make sure to keep the [].
Otherwise, your server will not be able to start!
