⬇ Download on Modrinth🔐 AuthAnvil · Anvil Authentication
A zero-dependency, pure Bukkit login plugin that turns the vanilla anvil GUI into a sleek authentication interface. Offline and premium players share the same clean workflow — no chat commands, no extra setup.
Why AuthAnvil?
Zero Dependencies:No ProtocolLib, no external plugins. Runs on any Spigot/Paper server.
Anvil as UI:Players type their password directly into the anvil input field — just like renaming an item.
Two-Step Registration:Passwords must be entered twice to prevent typos during initial setup.
Premium Auto-Login:Optionally verify premium players via Mojang or LittleSkin API and let them in automatically.
OP Bypass:Allow administrators to skip login entirely.
Custom Command Slot:The middle anvil slot executes any command you configure — help menus, teleports, announcements, and more.
Session Persistence:Returning players skip login within a configurable time window.
Anti-ESC Close:The GUI reopens instantly when closed, so login cannot be avoided.
Hot Reload:Change settings in config.yml and apply them with /authanvil reload — no restart required.
Fully Configurable:Every message, sound, password rule, and timeout lives in config.yml.
