Minecraft Whitelist & Banlist Manager guide

Use this free Minecraft whitelist and banlist manager to edit whitelist.json, banned-players.json, and banned-ips.json in your browser — resolve usernames to UUIDs in bulk, validate every entry, and download files ready for your server folder.

What whitelist.json is for

On an online-mode Minecraft server, the whitelist is a JSON list of player UUIDs and names. Only listed players can join when white-list is enabled in server.properties. Hand-editing that file is slow and easy to break with a missing comma or wrong UUID.

This tool lets you paste an existing whitelist, add names one per line, look up Mojang UUIDs automatically, remove stale accounts, and export a clean file. It is built for SMP openings, private friend servers, and season resets when you need a fresh allow list fast.

Banned players and banned IPs in the same workflow

Switch tabs to manage banned-players.json or banned-ips.json with the same paste, validate, and download flow. Keep kick reasons and metadata when you import existing ban files, then download only the list you changed.

Use bans for griefers and repeat rule-breakers, and the whitelist when you want a closed community. Pair this tool with our server.properties builder so white-list and enforce-whitelist match the files you deploy.

How to install the files on your server

Upload the JSON into your Minecraft server root next to server.properties (or the path your host documents for those files). Set white-list=true when you want the allow list active, then restart or run /whitelist reload so the server picks up changes.

Always keep a backup of the previous whitelist and ban files before overwriting them. If you migrate hosts, export from the old machine, validate here, then upload to the new instance so nobody is locked out mid-move.

Common questions

Where do I put whitelist.json?
Place it in your Minecraft server root next to server.properties, enable white-list (and usually enforce-whitelist), then restart or run /whitelist reload.
Do offline-mode servers need Mojang UUIDs?
Offline-mode UUIDs are calculated differently from Mojang accounts. Prefer online-mode for public servers; this tool looks up official UUIDs for premium accounts.
Can I edit bans and the whitelist together?
Yes. Use the tabs for whitelist, banned players, and banned IPs. Each list exports as its own JSON file for your server folder.
