How to Turn Off Online Mode

Disabling online mode on a Minecraft server lets it run without verifying players against Mojang’s authentication servers, allowing cracked/offline clients to join your server.

Players can also change their usernames to join the server using a different user's account. Please ensure you install an authentication system such as:

• The AuthMeReloaded plugin

• The EasyAuth Fabric mod

• The Nedologin or SimpleLogin Forge mods

Disabling online mode also prevents skins from loading in. To restore profile skins, you will need to install:

• The SkinsRestorer plugin

• The FabricTailor or Everlasting Skins for modded servers.

Turning Off Online Mode

To turn off online mode:

• Access the RocketNode Panel.

• Stop the server.

• In the Files tab, open the `server.properties` file.

  

• Locate the `online-mode=true` line.

  

• Set it to `online-mode=false`

• Save the changes.

  

• Start the server.
