If you want to make your Minecraft server private, and only allow trusted players to connect, you can create a whitelist by following the steps below:
- Log into the control panel
- Right under the console, click on Type a command...
- Enter the following command:
whitelist on
Now that your whitelist is enabled, you can add new players to the list, including yourself:
whitelist add Potato
Just replace "Potato" with the player name you'd like to add. You can remove players this way:
whitelist remove Potato
Lastly, this is how you disable the whitelist:
whitelist off
