New Feature: Pre-Join Authentication

Authenticate players BEFORE they enter your server! The login/registration dialog now appears during the loading screen - players can't join your world until they've logged in or registered.

How to enable:

dialogs:
  use-configuration-phase: true
  configuration-phase-timeout: 60

Why use it?

• Players never see your world until authenticated
• Cleaner experience - no "please login" messages
• Players who fail to authenticate are simply disconnected
