AutoWhitelist
AutoWhitelist links a Discord role on a Minecraft Java server to the server's whitelist, so a player who gains the role is whitelisted automatically.
What it does
Whitelisting is driven by Discord roles. When a member gains the role set by the server owner, the matching player is added to the whitelist, and the mod can remove the player again when the role is lost. Usernames are kept in memory, so a returning player with the required role is whitelisted without a manual step. Whitelist actions can also run commands, for example to grant LuckPerms permissions alongside the whitelist entry. Fabric API is required, and LuckPerms and Player Roles are optional dependencies.
The mod uses the vanilla whitelist rather than a separate list, so the login process stays close to the vanilla experience. It works with the whitelist setting in server.properties and with whitelisting done from the server console. Messages shown to players can be customized, and the mod offers an API so other mods can add more whitelist actions. Text Placeholder API is bundled inside the mod. Only the server needs it, and players join without installing anything. AutoWhitelist is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and has files for 1.18 – 26.2, including snapshot builds.

This mod works on top of the vanilla whitelist, so make sure to enable the vanilla whitelist, you can do that by changing white-list on server.properties to true or by running whitelist on on the server console
