How to Add a Whitelist on Your Minecraft Server
Stop unwanted players from joining your server.
Adding a whitelist to your Minecraft server allows for a private gaming experience, blocking unwanted players from joining the server. This option is most useful when you want to play only with your friends, or when you're working on the server and don't want players to join while it's still being set up.
In order to activate the whitelist via the in-game chat, you need administrator permissions. If you don't know how to do this, please follow the guide on granting OP permissions.

Removing a Player from the Whitelist
