# How To Enable/Disable/Manage Your Whitelist/Allowlist?

{% hint style="info" %}
On Java versions of the game, the whitelist is called "**whitelist**" and on Bedrock it's called "**allowlist**". The commands are exactly the same, but the command starts differently.\
\
/whitelist on - This command is for Java.\
/allowlist on - This command is for Bedrock.
{% endhint %}

### Whitelist Commands

There are several commands available to manage the whitelist, either through the console or in-game. Below is a list of the commands:

* **/whitelist on**: Enables the whitelist.
* **/whitelist off**: Disables the whitelist.
* **/whitelist add YourUsername**: Adds the player named "YourUsername" to the whitelist.
* **/whitelist remove YourUsername**: Removes the player named "YourUsername" from the whitelist.
* **/whitelist list**: Displays all whitelisted players.
* **/whitelist reload**: Reloads the player profiles from the `whitelist.json` file.

### How to Enable the Whitelist

1. Go to the **Game Panel** and stop your server.
2. Navigate to the **Properties** tab and find the **Enforce-Whitelist** and **White-List** options. Toggle these on to enable the whitelist.
3. Once done, start your server again. You can now use the `/whitelist add YourUsername` command in the console to add yourself to the whitelist.

### Important Note

If your server has **crossplay enabled** (supporting both Bedrock and Java editions), some players may have spaces in their usernames (typically Bedrock players). In such cases, use the following command to add them to the whitelist:

```
/whitelist add "Your Username"
```

Make sure to enclose the username in quotation marks (`""`).

### Managing the Whitelist via the Player Manager

1. Go to the **Game Panel** and stop your server.
2. Navigate to **Console > Player Manager > Whitelist**. From here, you can add or remove players from the whitelist directly.

By following these steps, you can easily manage your server's whitelist and ensure only authorized players can join.
