AuthCore

[1.0.0-alpha.1] - 2026-01-01

🚀 The "Total Control" Update

This update introduces a complete overhaul of the configuration system, allowing server owners to customize every single interaction, message, and restriction within the authentication lifecycle.

✨ New Features

• Granular Limbo Restrictions:
  • Separated entity interaction blocking into specific categories: Hostile, Neutral, Friendly, Animal, and Player.
  • Added specific flags for Block Breaking, Block Placing, Item Usage, Item Dropping, and Inventory Movement.
  • Added Mounting restriction for rideable entities (horses, boats, pigs).
  • Benefit: You can now allow players to walk around spawn but prevent them from punching villagers or stealing crops while unlogged.
• Hybrid Authentication Mode:
  • Added native support for Premium (Online-Mode) auto-login alongside Offline-Mode accounts.
  • Implemented UUID spoofing protection: prompt-user-premium-different-u-u-i-d kicks players if a offline-mode client tries to join with a username registered as Premium in the database.
• Proxy Forwarding Support:
  • Added proxy-mode configuration.
  • Server now correctly parses real IPs from Velocity/BungeeCord, enabling accurate session management and IP bans on networks.
• Password Complexity Logic:
  • Added configurable requirements for:
    • Minimum/Maximum Length.
    • Minimum Uppercase letters.
    • Minimum Lowercase letters.
    • Minimum Digits.
  • Added distinct error messages for each violation (e.g., prompt-user-digit-not-present).

⚙️ Configuration & Messages

• Triple-Format Messaging System:
  • Every single event now supports three simultaneous display methods:
    1. Chat: Standard text with hex color support.
    2. Title/Subtitle: Large screen overlays with customizable fade-in/out times.
    3. Action Bar: Subtle text above the hotbar.
• New Message Keys:
  • prompt-user-welcome-lobby-user: Customizable title shown immediately upon joining the Limbo world.
  • prompt-user-session-resumed: Feedback when a player rejoins quickly and skips auth.
  • prompt-user-premium-auto-login: VIP recognition message for premium users.
• Periodic Reminders:
  • Added prompt-user-register-command-reminder-interval and prompt-user-login-command-reminder-interval to nag players who sit AFK without authenticating.

🛡️ Security

• Anti-Bot & Anti-VPN:
  • Added prompt-user-proxy-not-allowed: Native kick reason when a VPN/Proxy is detected.
  • Added prompt-user-exceeded-login-attempts: Temporarily bans/cooldowns IP addresses that fail passwords multiple times.
• Session Hijacking Protection:
  • Added prompt-user-different-ip-login-not-allowed: If a valid session exists, but a connection comes from a new IP, the connection is rejected immediately.
  • Added prompt-user-another-account-session: Kicks the active session if a valid login comes from a new client ( configurable).

🛠️ Commands

• Added /authcore whois <player>: Displays detailed info including UUID, Platform (Java/Bedrock), IP, and Registration Date.
• Added /authcore setmode <player> <online/offline>: Allows admins to manually toggle a specific user's authentication method.
• Added /authcore setspawn: Updates the exact location where unauthenticated players are sent (Limbo).
