## Essential Changes (required) Server owners must modify these sections for the plugin to function: ### Database Connection SkarvexAuth requires a shared database to run Flyway migrations and sync player sessions across Velocity and Paper. ```yaml database: url: "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/auth" # Replace 'localhost:3306/auth' with your host, port, and DB name username: "root" # Your MySQL username password: "root" # Your MySQL password ``` ### SMTP Setup (for Email binding) Email verification won't send without valid SMTP credentials. ```yaml smtp: host: "smtp.gmail.com" # SMTP Host (e.g., smtp.gmail.com) port: 587 # SMTP Port (587 for TLS, 465 for SSL) username: "example@gmail.com" # SMTP Account Email password: "app-password" # App-Specific Password ``` ## Requirements * **Paper/Spigot 1.20.4** and higher * **Velocity 3.3.0** and higher * **Java 21** and higher A MySQL 8.0+ database is highly recommended for cross-server support and Flyway migrations. ## Support & Links * Source Code: [GitHub Repository](https://github.com/nobodyinvited/SkarvexAuthentication) * Issue Tracker: [Report Bugs](https://github.com/nobodyinvited/SkarvexAuthentication/issues) * Support the project: [Buy Me a Coffee](https://buymeacoffee.com/nobodyinvited)
