How to Whitelist Players on Your Vintage Story Server

If you want to make your server private, adding a whitelist will be the easiest way to do so. Once enabled, players must have their username added to the whitelist in order to join your Vintage Story server. This is what you do if you need to add a whitelist to your Vintage Story server.

Version 1.20+ Changes

As of version 1.20, Vintage Story servers are invite-only (whitelisted) by default and do not register themselves to the public servers list. If you want to make your server public, you can:

• Enable server advertising with /serverconfig advertise on
• Disable whitelist mode with /serverconfig whitelistmode off

Adding Players to the Whitelist

1. Log in to the Game Host Bros panel and select your Vintage Story server.
2. Go to Console.
3. Type /player playername whitelist on.

Removing Players from the Whitelist

1. Log in to the Game Host Bros panel and select your Vintage Story server.
2. Go to Console.
3. Type /player playername whitelist off.
