Getting Started with ENDOS SMP

If you are new to ENDOS SMP, this page explains what you need before joining, how the whitelist works, and what to do if Minecraft says the player is not whitelisted yet.

What you need first

  • Minecraft Java Edition: ENDOS SMP is a Java Edition server. Bedrock, console, and Xbox usernames are not enough on their own.
  • A Microsoft account: Minecraft Java Edition uses a Microsoft account. Parents or guardians may need to help younger players set this up.
  • Your correct Minecraft Java username: This is the username you must enter on the signup form. If you are unsure, read our username guide.
  • Email access: The signup process includes an email confirmation step before the request is reviewed.

What is a Minecraft whitelist?

A Minecraft whitelist is an approved-player list. If a server uses a whitelist, only usernames on that list can join. ENDOS SMP uses a whitelist so the community can stay more intentional, family-friendly, and easier to moderate than an open public server.

How the ENDOS SMP signup works

  1. Complete the signup form with the player and parent or guardian details.
  2. Open the email confirmation message and complete that confirmation step.
  3. Wait for the whitelist review.
  4. If approved, watch for the welcome email with connection instructions.

If Minecraft says you are not whitelisted

If the player sees a message like you are not whitelisted on this server, it usually means one of these things:

  • the application has not been approved yet
  • the email confirmation step was not completed
  • the wrong Minecraft Java username was submitted
  • the player is using Bedrock, Xbox, or console instead of Minecraft Java Edition
  • the approval email has not arrived yet

Start by checking the confirmation email and making sure the submitted username matches the exact Java Edition profile name. If the username is wrong, use the appeal form or contact path provided by ENDOS SMP so the team can review it.

Need Minecraft Java Edition first?

If the player does not already have Minecraft Java Edition installed, use our guide on getting Minecraft Java Edition. That page walks through setup, launcher basics, and what to prepare before joining.

  2. Select Multiplayer.
  3. Choose Add Server.
  4. Name the server ENDOS SMP.
  5. Enter the server address from your welcome email.
  6. Click Done and join the server.
