Allowing Offline (Cracked) Clients

Allowing Offline (Cracked) Clients

If you intentionally want to allow cracked/offline clients to connect, follow these steps. Remember: this increases security risks and can let malicious users impersonate admins — follow the steps carefully.

  1. Open panel.qwer-host.xyz and select your server.
  2. Go to the “Files” tab and open server.properties.
  3. Find the line online-mode=true and change it to online-mode=false. files-server-properties
  4. Save the file. open-files-server-proporties
  5. Restart the server.

IMPORTANT:

  • YOU MUST INSTALL AN AUTHENTICATION PLUGIN (e.g., AuthMe, xAuth or another trusted plugin). Without it, anyone can join with any nickname — including admin names — and perform any actions.
  • Use a whitelist and manage permissions via trusted permission plugins (such as LuckPerms).
  • Make backups before making changes.

While this setting allows non-premium players to join, we strongly recommend purchasing legitimate licenses for all players and using offline-mode only when absolutely necessary.
