How to Add a Whitelist to your Minecraft Bedrock Server

Similar 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.

1. Access your Server Panel and Stop your server.

2. Navigate to the Config tab.

3. Open Server Properties (Bedrock) and locate the Allow List setting.

4. Click on the toggle button to change the Allow List setting to true.

5. Click on Save to confirm the changes made and Start your server.

6. Navigate to your server console and in the command line type allowlist add USERNAME. You can verify the username was added successfully by typing allowlist 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.

1. Access your Server Panel and Stop your server.

2. Navigate to the Config tab.

3. Open Server Properties (Bedrock) and locate the Allow List setting.

4. Click on the toggle button to change the Allow List setting to false.

5. Click on Save to confirm the changes made and Start your server.

After completing these steps, your server's allow list will be disabled.
