whitelist.json is a server configuration file that stores the usernames of players who have been whitelisted on a server. This file is only used on multiplayer servers. To activate the whitelist, the white-list value in server.properties must be changed to true: white-list=true. Then only the named users are allowed to connect to the server.
Each entry in whitelist.json is a JSON object with two elements, uuid and name.
uuid is the UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) of a player, and name is the username of a player.
[
{
"uuid": "f430dbb6-5d9a-444e-b542-e47329b2c5a0",
"name": "username"
},
{
"uuid": "e5aa0f99-2727-4a11-981f-dded8b1cd032",
"name": "username"
}
]
As well as manually editing the file, the command /whitelist can also be used by operators. When editing the file manually while the server is running, the command /whitelist reload needs to be used for the changes to take effect.
