How to Allowlist a Minecraft Bedrock Server

Allowlisting ensures that only approved players can join your Minecraft Bedrock server. It's a simple yet effective way to keep your community secure and private. Follow this guide to enable and manage the allowlist feature on your Beacon Hosting server.

Step 1: Access Your Server Console

Log into your Beacon Hosting control panel and select your Bedrock server. Then, open the Console tab to enter commands directly into your server.

---

Step 2: Enable the Allowlist

Type the following command into the console:

allowlist on

This activates the allowlist feature, blocking all players except those explicitly added.

Step 3: Add Players to the Allowlist

To allow a player to join, use:

allowlist add <playername>

Replace <playername> with the player's exact Minecraft Bedrock username.

To remove a player:

allowlist remove <playername>

To view who is currently on the allowlist:

allowlist list

Step 4: Restart the Server

Once all desired players are added, restart your server to ensure changes fully apply. You can do this from the Console or the Server Settings tab in your Beacon Hosting panel.
