Enabling a whitelist restricts access to a pre-approved list of specific user accounts. This security measure prevents unauthorized entry by potential griefers or hackers looking to disrupt gameplay on the Hytale server. Curating the player base cultivates a trusted environment focused on collaboration rather than conflict. Limiting the population helps maintain server stability by preventing unexpected traffic spikes. Such exclusivity reduces the administrative burden required to monitor public chat and player interactions.
