PassiveWhitelist
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
PassiveWhitelist is a lightweight plugin for semi-private Minecraft servers, such as school servers, friend groups, or small communities. New players must answer a question when they join, so you can control who gets access without adding every player to a whitelist in advance. Players with the right answer are verified permanently and can play on the server. The question, answer, time limit, and messages are all customizable.
Configuration
- The plugin creates a config file at plugins/PassiveWhitelist/config.yml.
- Default settings:
answer: "bunubbv"
question: "<aqua>Who is hosting our Minecraft server?</aqua>"
welcomeMessage: "<yellow>Welcome! Please answer the question below to start playing.</yellow>"
correctMessage: "<green>Correct! You're now verified and ready to play.</green>"
incorrectMessage: "<red>Incorrect answer. Please try again.</red>"
kickMessage: "<red>You didn't answer in time. Please try again later.</red>"
kickDelay: 3 # minute(s)
