Short answer: I am connecting to https://api.mojang.com/profiles/minecraft using the /whitelist add command on my Minecraft server. I can not whitelist players who have not played on my server because when I do /whitelist add the connection gets blocked by CloudFront. This leads to a “That player does not exist.” error when whitelisting.
More information: Using the ticket that I referenced in the original post, I discovered that when you do /whitelist add the sever essentially is running “curl https://api.mojang.com/profiles/minecraft -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '["Username"]'”. I asked the host to try this api request manually to diagnose why my /whitelist add command won’t work and it would appear that CloudFront blocks their datacenters.
/summon cow ~ ~ ~
its not just the cows that do this issue, it is any entity i attempt to use with that command or any other form of summon command type
.
My server’s requests comes from 23.158.176.176. (If my IP server’s can be removed or hidden from here after you are done with it that would be nice.)
I unfortunately don’t know which datacenters my host (bloom.host) uses. I know that many of their clients have the same issue. Perhaps I should advise my host to make a ticket here. However, I am only concerned about being able to whitelist on my own server. I thank you in advance and appreciate your help! I am pleasantly surprised by the level of support Mojang is providing here.
