📄 PasswordWhitelist
A plugin to make users enter a password on server join.
Description
This plugin adds a new twist to whitelisting! Instead of manually adding players to your whitelist, you can set a server-wide password, which all connecting users will have to enter on server join. The plugin utilizes the new dialog system introduced with the 1.21.6 Minecraft update and a new configuration API introduced by Paper in 1.21.7 to make the process very clean and smooth.
Features
- Extensive customizability
- MiniMessage Format
- New dialog system introduced in 1.21.6
- Async configuration-phase password input
Folia compatibility
Folia compatibility is a goal, which at the time of writing might not be reached yet, as no public builds of Folia 1.21.7 have been released so far.
Paper compatibility
This plugin should work on all Paper servers on version 1.21.7 (build #17) and higher.
Permissions
⚠️ It is suggested that you install LuckPerms for managing permissions.
Below is a table of all permissions, their default values, and their descriptions:
| Permission | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| passwordwhitelist.exclude | false | Excludes a user from having to enter the password |
| passwordwhitelist.command.use | op | Main permission required to run the /passwordwhitelist command |
| passwordwhitelist.command.help | true | Permission required to run the '/passwordwhitelist help' subcommand |
| passwordwhitelist.command.reload | true | Permission required to run the '/passwordwhitelist reload' subcommand |
| passwordwhitelist.command.enable | true | Permission required to run the '/passwordwhitelist enable' subcommand |
| passwordwhitelist.command.disable | true | Permission required to run the '/passwordwhitelist disable' subcommand |
| passwordwhitelist.command.attempts | true | Permission required to run the '/passwordwhitelist attempts' subcommand |
| passwordwhitelist.command.password | true | Permission required to run the '/passwordwhitelist password' subcommand |
| passwordwhitelist.command.password.set | op | Permission required to run the '/passwordwhitelist password set' subcommand |
| passwordwhitelist.command.password.show | op | Permission required to run the '/passwordwhitelist password show' subcommand |
If you are confused about the true values for some of the subcommands: The only reason they are set to true by
default is to make quick permission setups easier. All players require to passwordwhitelist.command.use permission
in order to use any command. The sub-permissions merely allow for fine-grained control for server owners.
Note regarding the exclude permission
Because of the exclude permission being checked during the configuration phase of a player's server connection, it is not possible to check the player's permission through Paper's API. Therefore, this feature requires that LuckPerms is installed on the server.
