Manage Java players

Last updated: July 23, 2026

This guide shows you how to grant operator access, configure the whitelist, and kick or ban players on a NolimitHost Minecraft Java Edition server.

Use the NolimitHost game panel console to manage players on Minecraft Java Edition. To open the console, log in to the NolimitHost Game Panel at https://panel.nolimithost.cc/ and select your Minecraft Java server, then click Console in the left sidebar. Enter console commands without a leading /.

Warning: Operators (OPs) are players with admin powers. Operators can change the world, player data, server settings, and access controls. Grant operator access only to people you trust.

Grant or remove operator access

With the server running, open the server console and run:

op ExactJavaUsername

Remove operator access with:

deop ExactJavaUsername

An operator can run the same commands in Minecraft chat with a leading /.

Enable and manage the whitelist

The whitelist is an allow-list: only the players you add can join. Add yourself and the intended players before enabling the whitelist.

whitelist add ExactJavaUsername
whitelist on
whitelist list

Task	Console command
Remove a player	`whitelist remove ExactJavaUsername`
Reload `whitelist.json`	`whitelist reload`
Disable the whitelist	`whitelist off`

Warning: Disabling the whitelist allows anyone with the server address to attempt to connect.

Kick or ban a player

Task	Console command
Disconnect a player temporarily	`kick ExactJavaUsername`
Ban a username	`ban ExactJavaUsername`
Ban an IP associated with a player	`ban-ip ExactJavaUsername`
List username bans	`banlist players`
List IP bans	`banlist ips`
Remove a username ban	`pardon ExactJavaUsername`
Remove an IP ban	`pardon-ip <address>`

You can add a reason after kick or ban. In Minecraft chat, add / before the command and use an operator account with sufficient permission.
