📝 How to Enable Whitelist on Your Hytale Server
The whitelist allows you to restrict access to your server only to players you have chosen. It's an ideal feature to keep a private server among friends or members of your community.
1️⃣ Enable the Whitelist
To enable the whitelist on your server, use the following command in the console or in-game:
/whitelist enable
Once enabled, only players on the whitelist will be able to join your server.
2️⃣ Add Players to the Whitelist
To authorize a player to join your server:
/whitelist add player_name
Example:
/whitelist add Thibault
/whitelist add Jason
3️⃣ Remove Players from the Whitelist
To remove access for a player:
/whitelist remove player_name
Example:
/whitelist remove Thibault
4️⃣ Check the List of Whitelisted Players
To display all authorized players:
/whitelist list
This command shows you the complete list of players on your whitelist.
5️⃣ Check Whitelist Status
To know if the whitelist is active or not:
/whitelist status
You will see a message indicating if the whitelist is enabled (active) or disabled (inactive).
🔄 Disable the Whitelist
If you want to reopen your server to all players:
/whitelist disable
Your server will become accessible to everyone without restrictions.
🗑️ Completely Clear the Whitelist
To remove all players from the whitelist with a single command:
/whitelist clear
⚠️ Warning: This action removes all players from the list. You will need to add them back one by one if you want to authorize them again.
