 Description   

According to the release notes for 1.17 (https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/caves---cliffs--part-i-out-today-bedrock), the command /whitelist has been renamed to /allowlist. However, if you actually start a dedicated server, you will see that /whitelist still works and /allowlist is not recognized as a valid command.

 

steps to reproduce:

  1. start a server
  2. type allowlist list
    •  the server responds with something like
      Unknown command: allowlist. Please check that the command exists and that you have permission to use it.
  1. type whitelist list
    •  the server responds with something like
###* {"command":"whitelist","result":[]}
 *###

even though this command should be removed in favor of allowlist

the correct command is /whitelist in the game, but in the server console is whitelist.

To add new players in the whitelist the right command is whitelist add "player name"
