Naming your server within the Game Dashboard is only to help with identifying it within your dashboard server list. It does not change the actual server hostname.
Go to the "Server Details" tab in the System menu within the dashboard, under "Server Name" type in your desired name for your server and click "Update Server Name".
The servers hostname will display on the in-game server list to all players who enter your servers IP.
Go to the "File Manager" tab and enter the "server.properties" file.
Scroll down in the File Contents area and locate "motd=A Minecraft Server", should be #35
Replace "A Minecraft Server" with your desired name (example, Scarlette & Friends)
Click "Save File" when you're done
Go to the Console tab and click "Restart" to implement the change, and voilà !
Making yourself an operator will help you manage your server settings when in-game, but only your server properties, not mods or plugin management. With great power comes great responsibility!
Go back to your "Console" tab and enter:
Hit "Enter" on your keyboard, and voilà !
Whitelisting is important, save yourself from those griefers and weirdos by making sure only the chosen few can join your block-paradise.
To enable a whitelist, go to the "Console" and enter: whitelist on
Hit "Enter" on your keyboard.
Once you have turned on the whitelist, you need to make sure it's enforced... or what's the point?
Go to the "File Manager" tab in the Management menu, and double-click the "server.properties" file.
Locate the "enforce-whitelist=false" command.
Replace "false" with "true" (enforce-whitelist=true) & click "Save File" in the bottom right.
Since the Whitelist is now enabled and enforced, you'll want to add your friends to make sure they can join!
Go to the "Console" again, enter: whitelist add [username]
Hit "Enter" on your keyboard.
Repeat this command with each of your friends' usernames.
You have now safeguarded your server! Continue on to the next pages to learn more about server management.
