Identica

Identica: Provider-Oriented Identity

Supported Platforms

Velocity

A modern identity plugin for Minecraft networks that handles authentication, registration, verification, and account migration through one flexible core.

Instead of hard-coding your whole setup around one fixed login model, Identica treats authentication methods as separate providers and lets the core manage the flow around them.

Dependencies & Information

Platform
Identica is currently a Velocity plugin and should be installed on your proxy.

Java
Identica is built for Java 21+.

Persistence
SQLite works out of the box. If needed, you can switch to H2, MySQL/MariaDB, or PostgreSQL.

Replication
For advanced setups, Identica supports optional Redis replication for shared sessions, reservations, conflicts, and events across your network.

Important
Identica is the core system only. Authentication methods are not bundled into this project and must be installed separately as provider resources.

Provider-Oriented Core

Build your authentication stack around providers instead of one hard-coded mode.

• Separate Provider Resources: add, remove, replace, or reprioritize authentication strategies without rebuilding your whole setup
• Entrypoint-Aware Selection: map hosts or entrypoints to the right provider flow
• Conflict Handling: define how username conflicts should be resolved when multiple identity paths exist
• Migration-Ready Model: provider switching is part of the architecture, not a bolted-on extra

Network Flow

Route players through the right steps before they reach the rest of your network.

• Scenario Routing: configure separate targets for authentication, registration, migration, and completion
• Resume-Aware Journeys: reconnecting players can continue unfinished flows instead of starting from zero
• Session Policies: control TTLs, refresh timing, and concurrent session behavior
• Dedicated Auth Infrastructure: ideal for networks that use separate auth, lobby, registration, or migration servers

Verification

Add another layer of protection where it makes sense.

• Built-In TOTP 2FA: support authenticator app based verification
• Recovery Codes: provide a fallback when players lose access to their app
• Per-Provider Policies: enable, require, or restrict verification depending on the configured provider
• Reset Controls: admins can reset verification state when support is needed

Providers

Identica is the core. Authentication methods are added through separate provider resources.

That means this resource does not bundle one fixed login mode into the core.
Instead, you choose the providers that fit your network and install them separately.

Official providers

• Offline: adds password-based authentication for offline-mode players, including registration, login, password changes, migration support, and optional verification flows
• Premium: adds premium account authentication, authoritative username handling, migration support, and optional verification flows

More providers

• A list of official and community providers can be found here: Identica Documentation

Only install the providers you actually want to use.

Customization

Identica was built with one major goal: giving server owners enough flexibility to shape identity flows around their own network instead of forcing one rigid setup.

• Network-Specific Solutions: adapt the system to your own structure, entrypoints, routing flow, and authentication setup
• Config-Driven Behavior: control core behavior through dedicated config areas instead of editing code
• Flexible Command Layer: customize command aliases, descriptions, permissions, and behavior to better match your administration style
• Editable Messages: adjust prompts, notices, and error messages to fit your server tone and player experience
• Provider Control: enable, disable, prioritize, and configure providers based on what your network actually needs
• Built For Growth: start simple, then expand into more advanced routing, verification, persistence, or replicated setups later
