EasyWhitelist
by NikitaCartes
EasyWhitelist changes how a Fabric server whitelist matches names, so players are checked by nickname rather than by UUID.
What it does
The mod turns a whitelist into a name-based list for Fabric servers. Vanilla whitelist matching compares UUIDs, while this mod compares lowercase nicknames, which lets offline-mode players be listed by the name they use to join. The whitelist must still be enabled in server.properties before the mod has any effect.
Server owners manage entries with the easywhitelist add and easywhitelist remove commands. The mod also adds commands that follow the offline version of names, and it notes that commands are case-sensitive. Its changes cover the whitelist, the banlist and the op-list, so those lists behave by name instead of by UUID.
The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything. It targets Fabric alone and is published for the 1.17.1 builds through 26.3, with 1.1.4 as the latest file for 26.3. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Name-based whitelist
Whitelist entries are matched by nickname, so a player can be allowed in without a Mojang UUID lookup.
Add and remove commands
The easywhitelist add and easywhitelist remove commands edit the list directly from the server console or in game.
Lowercase nickname matching
Comparison against the vanilla whitelist uses lowercase nicknames, which avoids mismatches caused by capital letters.
Banlist and op-list handling
The same name-based behaviour is applied to the banlist and op-list, not only to the whitelist.

Use cases
Offline-mode servers
A server that runs without online authentication can keep one list of names that players join with.
Mixed-version servers
Admins running several Fabric game versions can use the same commands across the supported builds.
Who it’s for: Server owners running Fabric who want whitelist and banlist entries to follow player nicknames. Players only need a vanilla client that joins the server.
How it compares
Force Lowercase is a client-side Fabric mod, published for 1.19.4 – 26.3 under the MIT License, so it does nothing on a server alone. Show Yourself is also client-side on Fabric, for 1.18.2 – 1.21.9, and is open source under the MIT License. Offline Whitelist - Username-Based is server-side on Forge for 1.18.2 only and is not open source, since it is licensed CC-BY-1.0. EasyWhitelist differs from all three by running on the server, on Fabric, across its full build range.
