Whitelist Live Mod for Minetest

Version: 0.0.0 Author: Zion

A live-reload server whitelist mod for Minetest. Automatically prevents unlisted players from joining and provides commands for managing the whitelist in-game. Works in sandboxed environments like Luanti.

Features

• Enforces a per-world whitelist.

• Automatically auto-whitelists singleplayer.

• Provides live reload of whitelist.txt when the file changes.

• Commands to manage the whitelist in-game:

  • /whitelist add <name> — Add a player to the whitelist.
  • /whitelist remove <name> — Remove a player from the whitelist.
  • /whitelist list — Show all whitelisted players.
  • /whitelist reload — Reload the whitelist from whitelist.txt.
  • /whitelist enable — Enable the whitelist.
  • /whitelist disable — Disable the whitelist.
  • /whitelist status — Show current whitelist status.

• Supports bypass privileges: players with whitelist_bypass can join even if not on the whitelist.

• Supports admin privileges: whitelist_admin for managing the whitelist.

Installation

1. Copy the ct_whitelist folder into your Minetest mods directory.

2. Enable the mod in your world:

   • Edit world.mt:

     load_mod_whitelist_live = true

   • Or enable via the in-game mod UI.

3. The whitelist file is created automatically in the world folder:

<world folder>/whitelist.txt

4. Edit whitelist.txt to add one player per line. Lines starting with # are comments. Example:

   # Whitelisted players
   zion
   sfan5

   Changes are automatically reloaded every ~5 seconds.

Usage

• Auto-whitelist: The singleplayer is automatically added to the whitelist.
• Commands: Only players with whitelist_admin can manage the whitelist.
• Live reload: Editing whitelist.txt triggers live reload; no server restart needed.
• Bypass privilege: Grant whitelist_bypass to trusted players to skip whitelist checks.
• Checking status: /whitelist status shows if the whitelist is enabled and the number of entries.

Privileges

• whitelist_admin — Can manage the whitelist using /whitelist.
• whitelist_bypass — Bypass the whitelist entirely.

Notes

• The whitelist file is per world, so each world can have its own whitelist.
• The mod also stores the whitelist in persistent mod storage, so edits in-game or via commands are saved even if whitelist.txt is missing.
• Works safely in sandboxed environments like Luanti.
