Disclaimer: > This mod collects and logs player IP addresses solely for the purpose of maintaining server integrity, and enforcing username-IP-based access control. All collected data is used exclusively for the features provided by this mod.

Before using this mod, server administrators must ensure:

• Player Consent: Players must be informed and acknowledge that their IP addresses will be collected and linked to their usernames for access control.

• Data Use: Collected IPs are used solely for access enforcement and are stored internally — never shared outside the server staff.

• Data Security: Server owners are responsible for securing this information and ensuring only authorized administrators have access.

Description

SenthryX is a server-side whitelist mod that binds usernames to specific IP addresses. It enforces strict access control by allowing only whitelisted and trusted players to join the server. This prevents unauthorized access, blocks login attempts from unbound IP addresses, and protects against username spoofing. SenthryX is especially recommended for servers running in offline mode. It also supports multiple IP bindings per player, making it compatible with dynamic IP addresses. For added convenience, SenthryX integrates with a Discord bot that provides real-time alerts for failed login attempts and enables server management through bot commands, the bot integration can also be disabled.

Features

• Access control based on username and IP address

  • Whitelist players by username and IP using commands like whitelist_add player1 127.0.0.1 (Discord) or senthryx whitelist add player1 127.0.0.1 (console).

  • Players can only connect from approved IPs tied to their usernames; multiple IPs per user are supported.

  • Blocks connection attempts from unknown players or unapproved IPs.

  • Supports adding new IPs for users with dynamic addresses.

• Discord bot integration:

  • Access attempt alerts.
  • Manage whitelist entries directly from Discord.
  • Enable or disable Discord bot feature as needed.

Installation guide

1. Download the Mod

   • Download the mod here.

2. Install the Mod

   • Place the downloaded mod file into the mods folder within your Minecraft directory.

   • In server.properties, it’s recommended to disable the built in whitelist (white-list=false) to allow the mod to fully handle access control based on usernames and IPs.

     • Optionally, you can leave the built in whitelist enabled for an additional layer of security, but this is not required.

3. Initial Server Startup

   • Start or restart your server. On the first startup, an error is expected—this is normal. During this process, a file named config.json will be generated in the config/senthryX directory.

4. Configure the Discord bot if you want to enable the Discord integration feature. See the details for step by step process below.

5. Configure the Mod

   • Open the config.json file and adjust the settings as needed. Refer to the Configuration Values section below for guidance.

6. Restart the Server

   • Once you’ve configured the config.json file, restart your server to apply the changes.
