Setting up and managing whitelisting on your Hytale server is one of the most effective ways to control who can join your world and maintain a safe, stable environment for your community. A whitelist ensures that only approved players can connect, protecting your server from unwanted visitors, griefing attempts, and performance‑draining traffic. It also gives you tighter control over player access during development, testing, or private gameplay sessions. Whitelisting fits naturally into the broader toolkit of server management. It allows you to curate your player base, enforce community standards, and maintain a consistent experience as your server grows. Whether you're running a small private world for friends or building a large public project with controlled entry, understanding how to enable and manage a whitelist helps you keep your server organised and secure. A complete setup involves enabling the whitelist, adding or removing players, and knowing how to adjust access as your needs change. Each step is straightforward once you understand where the controls are located and how they interact with your server’s permissions system.
Managing and Enabling the Whitelist on Your Hytale Server
1. Log in to your Game Control Panel and navigate to your service.
2. Navigate to the Web-Console Tab.
3. In the Web‑Console tab, enter the following command.
whitelist on
The whitelist can be disabled at any time by entering the following command:
whitelist off
When the whitelist is active, only approved players and server admins will be able to join.
Whitelist Management
Once the whitelist is enabled, you can add or remove players at any time to control who has access to your server.
Adding a player from the whitelist:
whitelist add <playername>
Removing a player from the whitelist:
whitelist remove <playername>
Changes take effect immediately, so players gain or lose access the moment the command is executed.
A whitelist acts as a gatekeeper, allowing only approved players to connect while blocking all others, which is especially valuable for private worlds, development servers, or communities that prioritise stability and moderation.
