How to Set Up a Whitelist

This guide shows you how to enable and manage the whitelist on your PineRiver Minecraft server, ensuring that only selected players can join.

---

What Is a Whitelist?

When you enable a whitelist, only players who have been added to the list can connect to the server. This is an effective way to keep your server private and under control.

---

Enable Whitelist via the GamePanel

1. Log in to your PineRiver GamePanel.
2. In the left sidebar, navigate to Players (or Player Management).
3. Locate the Whitelist section. You will see a button labeled Enable whitelist (see image).
4. Click on Enable whitelist. Your whitelist is now active.

Add or Remove Players from the Whitelist

Once the whitelist is enabled, you can add or remove players in two ways:

1. Via the Players menu:
   • Under Player Management, you'll see a list of players.
   • Click Whitelist next to the player you want to add, or uncheck it to remove them.
2. Via the Console:
   • Go to Console in the left sidebar.
   • Type whitelist add [player-name] to add a player.
   • Type whitelist remove [player-name] to remove a player.

Restart to Apply Changes

After adding or removing players from the whitelist, we recommend restarting your server so the changes take effect. You can start or restart your server from the Servers section in the GamePanel.

Tips & Troubleshooting

• Players can't connect: If a player isn't on the whitelist, they will receive an error message when attempting to join.
• Switch to a public server: If you want to disable the whitelist again, simply click Disable whitelist or use the command whitelist off in the console.
• Remember to restart: Whitelist changes often take effect only after a server restart.
