🚧 Whitelist

Root commands: /whitelist
Worlds: All Servers
Access Level: Admin

The whitelist allows us to lock-down a server so that only a select list of players can join. It is often used when a server needs to go into maintenance mode, such as when a serious bug is discovered or something major breaks.

Turning On The Whitelist

To turn on the whitelist for a server, use the command:
/whitelist on

Turning Off The Whitelist

To turn off the whitelist for a server, use the command:
/whitelist off

Seeing Who Is On The Whitelist

To see all of the players on the whitelist, use the command:
/whitelist list

Adding A Player To The Whitelist

To add a player to the whitelist, use the command:
/whitelist add <player>

[!NOTE]
You will most likely already be on the whitelist as a staff member, so adding yourself is not needed. Use this command to add other players.

Removing a Player From The Whitelist

To remove a player from the whitelist, use the command:
/whitelist remove <player>

Emergency Whitelist & Lockdown Protocol

In the event of a server issue requiring everyone to be kicked immediately (e.g. WorldGuard failing to load at spawn after a restart, or a broken vote party spamming items non-stop):

1. Kick all players:
   /kickall
   Kicks all players on the current server and puts them into the lobby.
2. Enable Whitelist:
   /whitelist on
3. Kick again if needed: Run /kickall again if players managed to join back before the whitelist command completed.
   Note: If the issue is not urgent enough to require an immediate kick, enable the whitelist with /whitelist on first.
