Whitelist in Minecraft (Bedrock Edition)

Enabling a whitelist is one of the easiest ways to keep your Minecraft Bedrock server private and secure.
A whitelist ensures that only approved players can join your world, preventing random users from connecting without permission.
Whether you want to only play with friends or perform in-game tests without anyone else, the whitelist comes in handy!

In this Nitrado guide, you’ll learn how to enable the whitelist on your Bedrock server and add players correctly so everything works as expected 🔥

3. Locate “Whitelist Enabled” and toggle this option.

   

4. Click Save Changes at the bottom, then Start the Bedrock server.
