A whitelist is a way to make a server only accessible/joinable by those whom you choose. It's pretty easy to do and lets dive right in!
{% hint style="info" %} Whitelists can be done in Vanilla Minecraft (meaning no plugins/mods/addons are necessary to utilize this in-game system for your network. {% endhint %}
Please pick if you are setting up a whitelist through console or in-game
{% tabs %} {% tab title="Console" %} Turn on the Whitelist
Simply type the command: whitelist on into your console
Boom! You now have a whitelist on your Minecraft server! This makes it so only specific players can join your server, and it's a good way to make a private server only accessible by friends.
Add someone to the Whitelist

Remove someone from the Whitelist
Type the command whitelist remove <the person's username> into your console
Turn off the Whitelist
To turn off the whitelist, just type /whitelist off into your console
