License Management & Anti-Piracy Protection for Minecraft Plugins
License Management & Anti-Piracy Protection for Minecraft Plugins
What is ObsidianLicense?
ObsidianLicense is a license management and anti-piracy platform built specifically for Minecraft (Paper) plugin developers. Instead of handing buyers your compiled plugin directly, customers install a small loader plugin — your real plugin is delivered securely at runtime and runs entirely in memory. It never touches the customer's disk.
Why Use It?
A standard
.jar can be decompiled and reshared in minutes. One buyer can hand your plugin to hundreds of servers with no way to stop it. ObsidianLicense removes the unprotected file from the equation entirely and gives you live, revocable control over every copy in the wild.Key Features
Code Protection — Your plugin is encrypted at rest and decrypted in memory only when a valid license is verified. No plaintext jar ever lands on a customer's server.
License Management — Create, edit, revoke, or expire license keys individually or in bulk. Set per-machine activation limits and expiry dates from a clean dashboard.
Machine Binding — Each license is tied to a configurable number of servers. Customers can reset their binding when migrating hardware.
Access Logs — Every activation attempt is logged in real time — allowed or denied. Exportable for your records.
Abuse Protection — Automatic IP banning and rate-limiting to detect and block license sharing and brute-force attempts.
Marketplace Automation — Connect your BuiltByBit and Voxel ([Censored]) stores. A purchase automatically issues a license key; a refund or chargeback automatically revokes it — no manual work required.
Automatic Key Delivery — Keys can be DMed or emailed to buyers automatically, or customers can self-serve redeem them via a dedicated page.
Analytics — Track activation trends, active installs, and denied attempts across all your products.
Team Accounts — Invite teammates to manage products and licenses without sharing your login credentials.
SaaS or Self-Hosted — Use it as a managed cloud service or host it entirely on your own infrastructure — you stay in full control.
How It Works for Your Customers
- Purchase the plugin on BuiltByBit or Voxel — a license key is issued automatically.
- Receive the key via DM or by redeeming it on the provided page.
- Install the loader plugin on your Paper server.
- Add the license key to the plugin's config file.
- Start your server — the plugin loads and runs automatically.
That's it. No complicated setup. The loader handles everything behind the scenes.
For Developers — BuiltByBit Integration
Connect your own BuiltByBit store in minutes from the dashboard. Purchases trigger automatic license issuance; refunds and chargebacks trigger automatic revocation. No shared credentials, no manual key distribution.
Honest Security Note
ObsidianLicense significantly raises the bar against casual piracy — no plaintext jar on disk, server-side kill switches, per-machine binding, and full access logging. It is not a silver bullet against a highly determined attacker with direct server access, but it eliminates the vast majority of casual redistribution and gives you the visibility and control to act when abuse is detected.
Available as a managed SaaS or self-hosted on your own server.
