Login Daddy

A Fabric mod for private friend servers (Mainly Offline-Mode servers). Requires players to have the mod installed on their client, be on the whitelist of this mod (not the server whitelist) and authenticate with a password before they can play.

How it works

1. Player connects → sent to an invisible limbo dimension
2. Server checks if the client has LoginDaddy installed (handshake). No mod = kicked
3. Client is prompted to enter the server key (if one is configured). Wrong key = kicked
4. Server checks if the player is whitelisted. Not whitelisted = kicked
5. If the player has a valid session (logged in within the last 48 hours from the same IP), they are released automatically
6. Otherwise, player registers or logs in with a password
7. Player is teleported back to where they joined from

Join/leave messages and tab list are hidden until authentication is complete.

Requirements

• Minecraft 1.21.11
• Fabric Loader 0.18.2+
• Fabric API

Setup

Server

1. Drop the mod jar into your mods/ folder
2. Start the server once to generate config/LoginDaddy/logindaddy.properties
3. Edit logindaddy.properties with your database credentials and optionally a server key
4. Add players to the whitelist (see commands below)

Client

Players need the same mod jar in their mods/ folder. On first join to a server with a key configured, a prompt will appear to enter the key. The key is saved automatically and reused on future joins.

Configuration

config/LoginDaddy/logindaddy.properties is generated on first launch.

# sqlite (local file) or mysql
database.type=sqlite

# MySQL only — ignored if using sqlite
mysql.host=localhost
mysql.port=3306
mysql.database=logindaddy
mysql.username=root
mysql.password=

# Optional server key — leave empty to disable
# Players will be prompted to enter this key on first join
server.key=

⚠️ Never share your logindaddy.properties file with anyone.

It contains your database credentials and server key.
