Arguments

On SLASHPLAY
Use the Whitelist switch on the server's Game-specific tab instead, so the panel and the file agree. See the Minecraft whitelist.
What it does
When true, only players added with /whitelist add can connect. You can turn it on or off live with /whitelist on and /whitelist off, which also updates this line.
Good to know
- Use
/whitelist onor/whitelist offto change it without a restart. - Combine with
enforce-whitelistto kick players already online.
