How to disable online mode on your Java Minecraft server

 

What is online mode?

Online mode is a setting in Minecraft server that makes it so unofficial copies of the game known as Cracked Players are able to join. This is useful if you have friends who don’t own an official copy of Minecraft and pirate it instead.

 

What are the dangers of disabling online mode?

If you have online mode disabled banning players isn’t as effective and you may need to do more IP bans. Players can also join under any username so it is strongly recommended to use an authentication plugin such as Passky to protect your players for other trying to login as them. It is also recommended to use an Anti VPN plugin to avoid banned players from using a vpn to get around an IP ban.

 

Minecraft Rules

Note allowing cracked players is a violation of the EULA and the MUG, while these are violations there is a high chance nothing will happen to your servers as these rules are generally loosely enforced. Allowing cracked players may make it so you are unable to get your server put on the official server list.

 

Bungeecord/Velocity/Waterfall servers.

The process to disable online mode on network servers is a little different as the backend server require online mode to be false for them to work. A doc for networks is here [Insert link]

 

How to disable online mode?

1.      Go to the file manager by clicking the “File Manager” tab at https://panel.civilhost.net/auth/login

2.      Open server.properties

3.      Go to “online-mode” by default this should be set to true

4.      Set online mode to false “online-mode=false”

After -

5.      Now once online mode has been set to false restart your server

6.      Additionally you can put your authentication plugin in /home/container/plugins and restart the server after your plugin is installed

7.      Now cracked players should be able to join your Minecraft Java server.
