# How to Use the Player Manager on Your Minecraft Server (/docs/minecraft/player-manager)



The Player Manager lets you manage your server's players directly from the XGamingServer panel — no console commands needed. You can view online players, grant OP, manage the whitelist, ban players, and view player stats.

Player Detail Dialog [#player-detail-dialog]

Clicking on any player card opens a detail dialog with two pages:

Actions Page [#actions-page]

The actions page shows the player's UUID and a grid of action buttons:

| Action                        | Description                                                        |
| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Whitelist / Unwhitelist**   | Add or remove from the whitelist                                   |
| **Op player / Revoke OP**     | Grant or remove operator status                                    |
| **Ban player / Unban player** | Ban or unban the player                                            |
| **Wipe player**               | Delete all player data (inventory, position, stats) — irreversible |
| **Kick player**               | Remove from the server (online players only)                       |

| **Kill player**               | Kill the player in-game (online players only)                      |

> ⚠️ **Warning:** The **Wipe player** action permanently deletes all data for that player, including their inventory, position, stats, and advancements. This cannot be undone.
