Player statuses

A status decides whether a player can join, whether they appear in the public API, and which denial screen they see.

Built-in statuses

Status	Can join?	Notes
whitelisted	Yes	Approved players.
neutral	No	The usual starting status for new players.
banned	No	Can carry a reason, shown on the denial screen.

Custom statuses

Create your own statuses to match how your community works, for example a status for applicants who have submitted a form. Each status controls:

whether players with it can join
whether they appear in the public API
which denial screen they use

Add custom statuses to your Gatekeeper configuration, then run:

/gatekeeper reload

List every status currently available with /gatekeeper statuses.

Building an onboarding flow

Statuses, profile fields, and denial screens work together. A player who isn't approved yet can be shown a screen that tells them how to apply, while your website or Discord bot reads their profile through the HTTP API and updates their status when you approve them.
