Authentication mod for Fabric or Forge servers
About this Mod
Deprecated. Use EasyAuth instead.
SimpleAuth
Do you have a server that you want to protect from unwanted visitors without using whitelist? Or need an extra form of authentication for players?
This mod will come in handy then - it denies moving, destroying blocks etc. for players that aren't registered / logged in. It's possible to set a global password as well, check wiki for more details.
Make sure to download the right version, depending on your server being Fabric or Forge one!

SimpleAuth server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (21w10a). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is SimpleAuth compatible with fabric and forge?
SimpleAuth officially supports fabric, forge for Minecraft 21w10a, 1.16.5, 20w49a. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with SimpleAuth – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if SimpleAuth consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
