This quickstart guide will help you with enabling and managing Whitelist Access on your Hytale Server.
Enabling and managing whitelist access on your Hytale server is one of the most effective ways to control who can join your world and keep your community safe. A whitelist lets you approve specific players by name, preventing unwanted visitors, griefers, or random join attempts from accessing your server. Whether you're running a private world for friends or a curated community with trusted members, understanding how the whitelist works gives you full control over your server’s security and player experience. This introduction sets the stage for configuring the whitelist properly, maintaining it over time, and avoiding common issues that can lock players out or leave your server exposed.
Setting Up a Whitelist on your Hytale
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, run the following command:
whitelist on
The whitelist can be disabled at any time by entering the following command:
whitelist off
When the whitelist is enabled, only approved players on the list and server admins will be able to join.
Managing the Whitelist
Once the whitelist is enabled, you can easily add or remove players at any time to manage server access.
Adding a player from the whitelist:
whitelist add <playername>
Removing a player from the whitelist:
whitelist remove <playername>
Changes take effect instantly, meaning players will gain or lose access the moment the command is executed.
Enabling a whitelist is one of the simplest and most effective ways to secure your Hytale server, giving you complete control over who can join and ensuring a safe, trusted community.
