Controlling who can join your Colony Survival server is essential for keeping your world secure, stable, and tailored to the community you want to build. Whitelisting gives you direct control over player access by allowing only approved users to connect, preventing unwanted visitors and protecting your colony from griefing or accidental disruption. Whether you’re hosting a private group, managing a long‑term cooperative world, or simply tightening server security, enabling a whitelist ensures that only trusted players can participate. This guide explains how to set up and manage whitelisting on your Colony Survival server so you can maintain a safe, organized, and well‑regulated gameplay environment.
