ServerPassword

Protect Your Server with a Password!

The ServerPassword mod provides the ability to set a reliable password for your Minecraft server based on Forge. This solution works on both the client and server sides, ensuring maximum connection security.

Security Technologies

Advanced encryption methods are used to protect your password. On the server side, the password is converted into irreversibly encrypted text using the PBKDF2WithHmacSHA512 algorithm with 10000 iterations. Additionally, salt is generated via SHA1PRNG, which significantly enhances protection.

The connection between the client and server is also maximally secure. To establish a connection with a password-protected Forge server, encrypted keys are exchanged using elliptic curve cryptography (Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman), implemented as an SHA-512 protected key. All transmitted information is additionally encrypted using AES.

Privacy

We do not collect any data! Neither the client part of the mod nor the server part collects information. Event logging is also not performed, which fully aligns with our approach to privacy protection.

Server Configuration

After installing the mod, a serverpw.cfg file will appear in the server configuration directory, containing your password in secure irreversible encryption. By default, the file is empty, and you can set the password via the console using the serverpw set [password] command.

Important: The mod does not support offline-mode (cracked) servers! If you use such a server, you will not be able to apply this mod.

Quick Start for Ready-Made Server Packs

1. Download the required server pack in ZIP format and unpack it.

2. Navigate to the unpacked server pack directory.

3. Download the appropriate version of ServerPassword and place the mod file (e.g., ServerPassword-1.19.x-1.0.4.jar) directly into the mods folder.

4. Now you can start the server.

5. Wait for all components to fully load.

6. In the server command line, use /serverpw set **** (replace the asterisks with the desired password).

7. If executed correctly, the command line will report successful password setup.

8. Now you can log into the password-protected Minecraft server!
