Easy Whitelist Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

Do I need to do anything to enable this mod?

Make sure whitelist is enabled in your server.properties file by setting `whitelist=true`. Once that's done, the mod will automatically allow you to use usernames instead of UUIDs in whitelist, banlist, and op-list commands.

How do I whitelist a player by their username?

Use the command `/whitelist add [username]` where you replace [username] with the player's actual Minecraft username. The mod will handle converting it to the proper format automatically.

Can I still use UUIDs if I want to?

Yes, the mod doesn't remove UUID functionality—you can use either usernames or UUIDs interchangeably in your commands.

Does this mod work with ban commands too?

Yes, you can ban players using their username with `/ban [username]` instead of needing their UUID, and the same applies to the unban command.

How do I make someone an operator using their username?

Use the command `/op [username]` to make a player an operator, or `/deop [username]` to remove operator status—no UUID needed.

What if I type a username that doesn't exist?

The command will likely fail or not find the player; make sure you're using the exact username spelling as it appears in Minecraft, including correct capitalization.

Does this mod only work on Fabric servers?

Yes, this mod is made specifically for Fabric servers and will not work on Forge or other server types.

Can I remove a player from the whitelist using their username?

Yes, use `/whitelist remove [username]` to remove a player from the whitelist by their username.

Do I need to restart the server after whitelisting someone?

No, the whitelist changes take effect immediately; the player can join right away if they're online or on their next login attempt.

Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?

No, this mod is lightweight and only changes how the whitelist/banlist/op-list commands process player names—it has no impact on server performance.
