Vintage Story: Quick Start

Whitelist (Enabled by Default)

As of Vintage Story 1.20, new servers are whitelisted by default. This means nobody can join, including you, until you either add yourself to the whitelist or disable it. All whitelist commands must be run from the server console in the Game Panel (not in-game chat, since you can’t join yet).

Add yourself to the whitelist

1. Open your server in the Game Panel
2. Go to the Console tab
3. Run: /whitelist add <your-username>
4. Connect to your server from the Minecraft client

Repeat /whitelist add <username> for each player you want to allow in.

Disable the whitelist entirely

If you want any player to be able to join without being added manually:

1. In the server console, run: /whitelist off

Your server is now open to anyone with the IP and port. You can re-enable it at any time with /whitelist on.
