How To Set Up A Whitelist / Make Your Server Private

A white list is your primary means of preventing unauthorized entry into your server. Any official Minecraft user names that you put in this list will be allowed to enter your server, while anyone not on it will be denied access.

Activating the Whitelist

  1. Login to your AleForge Panel
  2. Click Server Properties
  3. Look for ENFORCE-WHITELIST and enable it.

  1. Be sure to hit Save near the top of the page after you have changed this setting.

Alternatively, with some versions of Minecraft, you can also run these commands from the console to control white listing:

CommandDescription
whitelist onTurns Whitelist on
whitelist offturns Whitelist off

Adding Users to the Whitelist

You can add a user via console or in the game itself. To edit via console, you will need to click on Console in the game panel under the navigation menu. You can add users to the white list by typing into the console the following: whitelist add username

To add the user in-game, you would follow the same format: /whitelist add username
