ProudAuth - Modern Authentication System for Velocity Networks
ProudAuth is an advanced authentication system designed for modern Minecraft networks using Spigot/Paper backend servers together with a Velocity-based proxy setup.
It provides secure login, registration, premium account handling, cracked account support, network authentication synchronization, backend protection, 2FA, admin tools, monitoring tools, and the ProudAccess delegated account access system.
Important: ProudAuth is not intended to be used as a simple standalone Spigot plugin. It is designed for network environments where backend servers are protected behind a proxy.
Main Features
- Complete authentication system for cracked/SP accounts, including login, registration, logout, password change, and session handling.
- Premium account support with Mojang profile verification, premium UUID resolution, automatic login, and configurable premium nickname policies.
- Mixed premium/cracked network support with claim modes such as strict premium handling, first-join claim, proxy custom claim flow, and automatic first-join claim.
- Premium/cracked claim commands allowing players to choose whether a nickname should be handled as premium or cracked, depending on your configured policy.
- Session restore system with configurable session lifetime and optional IP binding.
- 2FA/TOTP support with authenticator app setup, setup confirmation, disable flow, status check, and optional always-required 2FA behavior.
- Suspicious access detection for 2FA based on IP/account patterns, such as too many usernames from one IP or too many IPs for one username.
- Brute-force protection with configurable maximum failed attempts and temporary lockout duration.
- Proxy-side anti-abuse guards including anti-bot connection limits, identity correlation checks, temporary IP bans, and configurable history retention.
- IP ban system with backend and proxy support, including manual bans, unbans, active ban checks, and banwave tools.
- Trusted IP system for account/IP trust management.
- Premium IP whitelist system for restricting selected premium accounts to specific allowed IPs.
- Auth server flow with optional forced auth-entry backend, authentication timeout, and configurable post-auth redirect server.
- Protected auth-entry mode to prevent unauthorized manual transfers into the auth server after players are already inside the network.
- Direct post-auth routing for verified premium users when configured, allowing premium players to skip the auth backend after proxy verification.
- Backend protection while unauthenticated including movement, chat, command, interaction, block, inventory, PvP, item pickup, food, consume, drop, book edit, and world interaction restrictions.
- Visibility protection to hide unauthenticated players from others and optionally hide other players from unauthenticated users.
- Auth spawn handling with optional world spawn or custom auth location teleport.
- Visual protection effects during authentication, with configurable effect behavior.
- No-drop-on-death protection for unauthenticated players.
- Trusted proxy-to-backend bridge using signed assertions, shared secret validation, assertion TTL, and optional strict backend enforcement.
- Backend readiness probe before completing proxy-to-backend transfers, reducing broken joins when an auth backend is not ready.
- Network-wide configuration sync where Velocity publishes the authoritative config to MySQL and backend servers automatically pull updates.
- Language system with configurable messages for backend and proxy flows, including ProudAccess hover/click text.
- Detailed debug channels for session flow, premium flow, bridge flow, protection flow, IP ban flow, profile flow, command flow, movement audit, and teleport audit.
- Security and risk reports with IP history, user risk inspection, top-risk reports, and CSV export support.
- Automatic security report export with configurable interval, time window, and row limit.
- Admin tools for force login/logout, password reset, player wipe, IP bans, trusted IPs, whitelist IPs, claims, sessions, premium checks, auth info, 2FA reset, unlocks, history, bridge status, debug toggles, statistics, and reload.
- ProudMonitor support for live proxy monitoring sessions and remote staff actions such as message, re-auth request, force logout, kick, and server move.
- ProudAccess delegated account access allowing account owners to authorize trusted players to temporarily access their account.
- ProudAccess fingerprint and code flow with click-to-copy support, code verification, active access listing, revoke support, and history pages.
- ProudAccess premium and cracked target support when used with the required ProudX proxy fork.
- Dynamic command tab completion for ProudAccess, including join suggestions based only on accounts the player is actually authorized to access.
- MySQL-backed storage for accounts, sessions, IP bans, IP history, identity claims, trusted IPs, premium whitelist IPs, proxy assertions, backend probes, delegated access grants, delegated access history, and network config snapshots.
ProudAccess Module
ProudAccess allows an account owner to authorize another player to temporarily access their account through a secure delegated access flow.
The system uses fingerprint verification, confirmation codes, backend validation, proxy-side profile handling, and automatic restoration when leaving the delegated account.
- Authorize another player with
/proudaccess allowAccess. - Join an authorized account with
/proudaccess accessJoin. - Confirm access using a secure generated code.
- Leave the delegated account with
/proudaccess accessLeave. - Revoke active delegated access.
- View active AllowAccess entries.
- Click-to-copy support for fingerprints and codes.
- Dynamic tab completion based on accounts the player can actually join.
- Support for premium and cracked target accounts.

Requirements
- A Spigot/Paper backend server.
- A Velocity-based proxy network.
- MySQL storage.
- Backend servers must be protected behind the proxy.
- Correct proxy forwarding configuration.
ProudAccess Requirement
Important: The ProudAccess module requires the modified Velocity fork called ProudX.
Standard Velocity does not correctly support the delegated profile forwarding required by ProudAccess, so this module will not work properly without ProudX.
At the moment, ProudX is not publicly included in the package. It can currently be obtained only by opening a ticket via DM on the official Discord:

Who Is This For?
ProudAuth is recommended for server owners running Velocity-based Minecraft networks who need a complete authentication system with premium/cracked account handling, backend protection, network synchronization, admin tooling, monitoring, and secure delegated account access.
It is especially useful for mixed-mode networks that want stronger control over authentication, account ownership, and trusted access between users.
