About Whitelisting

If you have a private server and only want specific players to join, you can create a Whitelist. This is more secure than using a password, as a password can be leaked or shared.

There is no specific server config or command to enable whitelist.

  • If you don't have a whitelist file, or the file is empty, the whitelist will not be enabled.
  • The moment you add a user ID to the whitelist text file, the whitelist will come into effect.

Important Note: The server must be stopped while editing server files. You must save your edits and restart your server for any edits to take effect. Changes to server files require a server restart, so we recommend adding whitelisted players with RCON commands or in-game chat commands!

  1. In the Saved folder you must create a file called whitelist.txt
  2. Add the whitelisted users for your server in the text file and click "Save".

Path: Saved/whitelist.txt

Formatting:

Add the Alderon Games ID (AGID) of each whitelisted user on a new line.
