Server-Password and individual Player-Password?

[sil_el_mot]

Hey there,
i didnt find anything regarding this, and maybe i'm just blind, but is it possible to start a server protected by password AND let the players protect their nickname with a password also?

when i start my server with default_password in minecraft.conf everybody can access every player with this pw.

thanks for help,

Don't do that.

If with server password protection you would like to control who can connect to your server, one alternative is to white list players, by only allowing certain players to connect based on a text file with valid player names. The morecommands mod has whitelist functionality:

viewtopic.php?f=11&t=15452

But this does mean that instead of sharing a server password, you will need to add users to the whitelist based on users requesting access. A whitelist does give better control IMO since server passwords can be shared and fall into the wrong hands.

Hmm perhaps this is an idea for a mod. As soon as a player logs in (via the builtin authentication mechanism), then a fullscreen formspec appears asking them to enter a master server password. If they fail to enter the correct password or they try to escape out of the formspec, then they will not be granted interact and shout privileges and will be kicked from the server automatically.

I could probably put something like this together very quickly, if there is interest.

Would like it.
Reason for this is, I want to install a server for a youthcentre.
The users should be able to protect their characters and buildings. Also they shall be able to play from home, this is why I need a password for the server, so no others, just the visitors of the youthcentre can enter

@sorcerykid: this mod would be great

Would like that, too ... but isn't that already possible?

You shouldn't be publishing private servers to the server list. Instead you should set the address in the config for each client or host your own server list

yeah, but than i need an payed dns-service in order to keep my ip or adress, so the guys can find me. with publishing they can find me everytime regardeless the ip

But the idea with the whitelist will also do. right! thx

Is there still interest in such a mod? I could probably put something together rather quick over the weekend. Lmk, so I don't spend time working on it, if it's not actually needed :)
