How to Set Up a Whitelist

Section titled “How to Set Up a Whitelist”

The whitelist restricts your server to approved players only. By default, EVLBOX servers start with the whitelist off so anyone with the address can join. You can change this from the panel or in-game.

From the Panel (Startup Tab)

Section titled “From the Panel (Startup Tab)”
  1. In the EVLBOX panel, go to the Startup tab.
  2. Find the Whitelist Mode variable.
  3. Set it to 2 to enable the whitelist, 1 to disable it, or 0 for the game’s default behavior.
  4. Restart your server for the change to take effect.

Startup Tab

Managing Whitelisted Players

Section titled “Managing Whitelisted Players”

Once the whitelist is enabled, use the server console (in the Console tab on the panel, or in-game chat as an admin) to add and remove players:

Add a player to the whitelist:

/player PlayerName whitelist on

Remove a player from the whitelist:

/player PlayerName whitelist off

Replace PlayerName with the player’s exact in-game username.

How to Grant Admin Privileges

Section titled “How to Grant Admin Privileges”

Admin (operator) players have access to all server commands in-game.

  1. In the EVLBOX panel, open the Console tab.
  2. Run the following command, replacing PlayerName with the player’s in-game name: 
    /op PlayerName

Console

To change a player back to a regular role:

/player PlayerName role suplayer
