PAL - Player Advanced Login

First-Join Premium Detection

Premium players on offline-mode servers are now recognized from their very first join.

Changed

• On offline-mode Spigot, Paper and Folia servers with no proxy, PAL Native login now detects premium names on the first connection and verifies them with Mojang. New premium players get auto-login right away, without running /premium first.
• Premium auto-login is only given after Mojang confirms the session. A name lookup on its own never counts as proof.
• Names without a Mojang account keep the normal offline login. If Mojang can't be reached, the player also gets the normal offline login.

Fixed

• PAL Native login no longer runs when premium is turned off (premium.enabled: false), when the PAL resolver is off, or when premium.mode is OFFLINE_ONLY.

Notes / Recommendations

• Players on an offline client who use a name owned by a premium account can't complete the premium check anymore. They need to pick a different name.
• This needs premium.protocol.enabled: true in premium.yml (it is on by default). /premium confirm is still there for players who want to request verification on their next join.
• Restart your server after updating.
