How to set up your server in Non-Premium mode

The "No Premium" mode allows players without a premium Minecraft Java Edition account to connect to your server. Follow the steps below to enable this configuration on your server.

Step 1: Access the Server Configuration File

1. Log in to the XeroHost control panel: https://panel.xerohost.net.
2. Select the server you want to configure.
3. In the left menu, go to the "Files" section and open the server.properties file.

Step 2: Update the Necessary Settings

Inside the server.properties file, make the following changes:

1. Find the line that says:

   online-mode=true
   

   Change its value to false:

   online-mode=false
   

2. Find the line:

   enforce-secure-profile=true
   

   Change its value to false:

   enforce-secure-profile=false
   

Step 3: Save and Restart the Server

1. Save the changes made in the server.properties file.
2. Restart your server from the control panel to apply the new configuration.

Important Notes About No Premium Mode

• Security:
  • When the server is in No Premium mode, it does not verify the authenticity of the accounts connecting to it.
  • Install an authentication plugin such as nLogin or AuthMe Reloaded to protect player accounts.
    
    
• Recommended Plugins:
  • nLogin (Recommended): Requires players to register and log in when joining the server.
  • AuthMe Reloaded: Requires players to register and log in when joining the server.
    
    
• Common Issues:
  • If players cannot join, ensure that both options (online-mode and enforce-secure-profile) are set to false.
  • Verify that the server has been restarted after making the changes.

Advantages of No Premium Mode

1. Allows more players, including those without premium accounts, to join your server.
2. Expands your community by not limiting access to premium players only.

And that's it! Your server is now set to No Premium mode. Remember to install the necessary plugins to keep your server secure and functional!
