GatePass

GatePass is a modern authentication plugin for Paper servers, built around Minecraft’s new Dialog UI instead of old chat-based login systems. It gives players a clean register/login screen with password input, confirmation, secure account storage, and strong pre-login protection.

Unlike traditional login plugins, GatePass focuses on a premium “server gate” experience. New players create a GatePass when they first join, while returning players unlock their account through a modern login dialog. No passwords are typed in chat, and no plain-text passwords are stored.

Security Notice

GatePass does not store plain-text passwords. Passwords are stored using secure hashing. Passwords are also not entered through chat, making the login flow cleaner and safer than traditional command-based systems.

Why GatePass?

GatePass is made for server owners who want a login plugin that feels modern, clean, and different from the usual /login password experience. It protects your server before players authenticate while giving the login/register flow a more professional look.
