Similarly to Java edition, Minecraft Bedrock servers feature a built-in whitelisting system that allows server owners to determine who can join their server. The Minecraft Bedrock version of a whitelist is called an Allow List, however, it functions very much the same as the Java edition whitelisting system.
# Enabling Bedrock Allow List
You can add a Whitelist to your Bedrock server within your server settings.
- Access your Server Panel and Stop your server.
- Navigate to the Config tab.
- Open Server Properties (Bedrock) and locate the Allow List setting.
- Click on the toggle button to change the Allow List setting to true.
- Click on Save to confirm the changes made and Start your server.
- Navigate to your server console and in the command line type
allowlist add YOUR USERNAME. You can verify the username was added successfully by typingallowlist list.
Congratulations! You now have a working whitelist set up on your Minecraft Bedrock server.
# Disabling Bedrock Allow List
You can remove a Whitelist on your Bedrock server within your server settings.
- Access your server panel and Stop your server.
- Navigate to the Config tab.
- Open Server Properties (Bedrock) and locate the Allow List setting.
- Click on the toggle button to change the Allow List setting to false.
- Click on Save to confirm the changes made and Start your server.
After completing these steps, your server's allow list will be disabled.
