How to disable the whitelist

Disable the whitelist so any player can join your server without prior approval.

What is the whitelist?

The whitelist restricts server access to only approved players. When enabled, anyone not on the list will be rejected with the message "You are not whitelisted on this server."

Disable via console

  1. Go to panel.baires.host and select your server
  2. Open the Console tab
  3. Type the following command and press Enter:
terminal
whitelist off

The change takes effect immediately. All players can now connect.

Disable via server.properties

  1. In the panel, go to Files → open server.properties
  2. Find the line:
terminal
white-list=true
  1. Change it to:
terminal
white-list=false
  1. Save the file and restart the server

Re-enable the whitelist

If you want to turn it back on later:

terminal
whitelist on

Notes

  • Disabling the whitelist does not remove existing entries. Your whitelist.json is preserved.
  • On public servers without a whitelist, consider using anti-grief plugins like CoreProtect or GriefPrevention.
  • For offline-mode servers, combine with AuthMe to prevent unauthorized access.
