Online and Offline modes

Feb 04, 2026 11:33 Minecraft

One of the most important settings is choosing whether you want your server to be in online mode or offline mode.
What does Online Mode do?
Online Mode (true): When enabled, the server connects to the official Mojang servers to verify each player's account. This ensures that every player has a unique, registered identity.
Offline Mode (false): When disabled, the server stops verifying accounts with Mojang. This allows a wider range of players to join, regardless of the launcher they use. Follow these simple steps to change your mode:
Step 1: Open the Control Panel
Log in to your game panel at https://client.d-serv.eu/
Select the server you want to modify.
Step 2: Locate the Configuration File
From the left-hand menu, click on Files.
Find and open the file named: server.properties
Step 3: Edit the Online-Mode Setting
Look for the line that says online-mode=true
Change the text to be either true or false, based on your preferences.
Step 4: Save and Restart
Click the Save content button to apply your changes.
Restart your server from the main console. Your server is now ready for all players!

Setting online-mode to false disables the official Mojang session check. While this makes the server more accessible, it means you should consider using a login plugin (like AuthMe) to keep your players' accounts secure and prevent unauthorized access to their names.
