Set up a whitelist

Restrict your Victus Minecraft server to approved players — enable the whitelist from the console and add players by name.

A whitelist (allowlist) locks your server so only players you approve can join. It is the simplest way to keep a private or friends-only server safe from random joins and griefers. You control it with console commands or by editing server.properties.

Enable and manage from the console

1. Open the Console tab (server must be running).
2. Turn it on: type whitelist on.
3. Add a player: whitelist add <username>.
4. Remove a player: whitelist remove <username>.
5. List approved players: whitelist list. Apply changes with whitelist reload.

Or set it in server.properties

1. Open the Files tab and edit server.properties.
2. Set white-list=true (and optionally enforce-whitelist=true to kick non-listed players already online).
3. Save and Restart.
