Command /whitelist has not been renamed to /allowlist

According to the Bedrock edition release notes (https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/caves--cliffs-part-i-out-today-bedrock), the /whitelist command has been renamed to /allowlist in Bedrock edition. Since the corresponding Java edition command has not yet been renamed, this change introduces a parity issue.

steps to reproduce:

  1. start a server

  2. type allowlist list

    • ❌  the server responds with something like:

[20:02:31] [Server thread/INFO]: Unknown or incomplete command, see below for error
[20:02:31] [Server thread/INFO]: allowlist list<--[HERE]
  1. type whitelist list

    • ❌  the server responds with something like:

[20:02:36] [Server thread/INFO]: There are no whitelisted players

even though this command should be removed in favor of allowlist

Clones MC-187218. This might not be considered a valid parity issue as discussed in this r/mojira thread.

As far as I can tell, BDS did not actually make that change despite the changelog

Why is whitelist considered offensive now anyway?

See the description of MC-187218 for an explanation. Otherwise, let's not discuss the nature of the term here, as this is not a discussion forum.

@@unknown: because the issue is not dependent on which operating system or which JDK you're using, I've removed the environment from your report. But thank you very much for taking the time to update it! 🙂
