Today we are going to go over how to manage the whitelist on your server, including adding and removing players. A whitelist is a simple yet effective method of access control for your server, whether it’s a personal server for friends and family or a public server you aren’t ready to open yet. This process is very easy using the GGServers Game Panel console.
Enabling or Disabling the Whitelist
- Log in to your GGServers Panel.
- Select your Hytale server and click on the Console tab in the left-hand sidebar.
- In the console command line, type
whitelist enableto turn the whitelist on. - To turn it off at any time, simply type
whitelist disable.
Note: If you are an admin (OP) on the server, these commands can be executed in-game by pressing / to open the chat/command field. Once enabled, all operators/admins can join automatically, but regular players must be added to the list to gain access.

Adding and Removing Players
- Navigate to your Console tab in the GGServers panel.
- To permit a player to join, type:
whitelist add <username> - To revoke access for a player, type:
whitelist remove <username>
Once a player is added to the whitelist, they will be able to connect to the server immediately.

All Whitelist Commands
Below is a quick reference for all available whitelist management commands:
| Command | Action |
|---|---|
whitelist add <username> | Adds a specific player to the whitelist. |
