Use third-party authentication servers, like Ely.by, on your server without interfering with Mojang authentication
Alternative Authentication is a mod that allows you to use two or more third-party or custom authentication servers without interfering with Mojang's authentication servers. In addition, it also implements whitelist support for third-party authentication servers.
By default, there are two configured authentication servers in the config: Mojang and Ely.by. You can add or remove as many as you want.
Requires online-mode=true in the server configuration for correct operation. Also, it is recommended to set enforce-secure-profile=false to disable message signing that players joining via third-party providers do not have.
Keep in mind that this is only a server-side mod! And if you want to use third-party authentication on the client, you need to use other tools.
This mod is made exclusively for EDUCATIONAL and INFORMATIONAL purposes to show how authentication works in Minecraft from inside. I do not encourage anyone to piracy.
⚙️ Convenient configuration of authentication servers.
🔐 Support for third-party authentication servers when joining the server.
👕 Support for setting player textures via a third-party skin server when joining the server.
🌐 Support for fetching additional properties for the player when joining server. Example of use: set the textures (skin and cape) for the player server-side so client can see player's texture without any mods.
📝 Support for adding players to the whitelist via third-party authentication servers.
When a player connects to a server, authentication first occurs on Mojang servers; if the player cannot be authenticated there, then a check is made on Ely.by or other servers, depending on the configuration. You can change the order of checking servers in the configuration; for example, first check in Ely.by and then in Mojang. If the player has not passed the check on any server, then the player is not allowed on the server. His username could not be verified.
You can use the whitelist with this mod, it implements support for third-party authentication servers for adding to the whitelist.
When you add a player to the whitelist, the check first occurs on Mojang servers, if the player was not found, then the check is hapenning on Ely.by or other servers, depending on the configuration. You can change the order of checking servers in the configuration, for example, first check in Ely.by, and then in Mojang. If the player was not found on any of the servers, then he cannot be added to the whitelist.
Well, in this case, you can temporarily change the order of authentication servers or add the player to the whitelist yourself.
This is an example configuration file, located at /config/alternative-auth.json.
If you change the value from false to true, then during authentication or whitelisting, the corresponding data will be logged to the console, which can be useful for troubleshooting. Disabled by default.
Your authentication providers, or authentication servers. You can remove, add, or swap them to change the order of checking.

property_url. Not required. Additional URL for fetching custom properties (like skin and cape), if needed, for the player when joining server. You can use {0} to put player username in the request, and {1} to put player UUID.
