Minecraft ops and whitelist: manage your players

Manage players from the panel

Open Players in the left menu. The page has four tabs: Opped, Whitelisted, Banned, and Offline.

To add someone, choose the tab you want and press the + button.

Caution

Operators can run any command on your server, including kicking and banning players and switching game modes. Only give operator status to people you trust.

Turn the whitelist on

Adding names to the Whitelisted tab only matters once the whitelist is turned on. Open Properties, search for whitelist, switch it on, and press Save Changes. Restart the server after changing it.

Using the console instead

With your server online, open Console and type:

op YourPlayerName
whitelist add YourPlayerName

Both commands work without a leading slash in the console.
