Setting a whitelist on a 7 Days to Die server ensures that only approved players can join, effectively protecting a community's progress from griefers and random trolls. It gives administrators full control over player population, which helps manage server performance and prevents unexpected resource strain. Ultimately, this restriction fosters a cooperative and safe environment where friends or private communities can build and survive without the fear of uninvited interference.
Requirement: A platform ID is used for the whitelist.
