Being a pedant and changing this to allowlist. More inclusive language and all that :)
Not my language mate lol

Yeah I know that's the terminology the minecraft server uses, but eh. Like I said - being a pedant.
Could it get confusing if we have two terms for the same thing? I get the accessibility sentiment, however it appears to be a widely used term.

In general yeah I think it could - but I think most people know that these are synonymous terms

It does, but IMHO allowlist and denylist/blocklist are clearer terms and just because something is often done doesn't mean it's the best way to do it.
I feel like I've opened a bit of a can of worms here. At work we are trying to reduce our usage of terms like master/slave whitelist/blacklist etc and so I've tried to carry that over to stuff that I work on in my personal time is all.
You are right, one should always strive for better. Let's go for the more accurate terms.
Just to be clear, I am not trying to argue against inclusiveness! Sorry if that's what came across.
