How to turn off online mode on a Minecraft server
Set online-mode=false in server.properties and restart the server. Accounts are no longer checked with Mojang, so anyone can join under any name.
online-mode
Controls whether players are checked against Mojang's account servers when they join.
online-mode=<value> Examples
online-mode=true Verify every player's account.
Values
| Value | What it does |
|---|---|
| trueDefault | On |
| false | Off |
Arguments
valueRequired- The value to write after the equals sign.
On SLASHPLAY
Keep it true on SLASHPLAY: with it off, anyone can join under any name, including an operator's.
What it does
With true, only players with a real Minecraft account can join and their names cannot be spoofed. Only turn it off behind a proxy such as Velocity or BungeeCord that does the check itself; otherwise anyone can join under any name, including your op's.
Good to know
- Changes take effect after a server restart.
- Turning it off without a proxy lets anyone impersonate any player.
Run it on your server
On a SLASHPLAY server, type it in the Console tab without the leading slash; in game, operators type it in chat with the slash. New to this? Start a Minecraft server first.
