How To Have Skins On Offline Minecraft Server

We have a video tutorial for enabling offline mode for your server:

Online mode is a server setting that configures whether or not players authenticate through Mojang's servers before connecting to your server. This authentication procedure verifies they are logged in and lets players access their profile skins.

Some server types don't piece of work when a server has online manner enabled. For example, BungeeCord does non work when online manner is enabled. Players using cracked clients are too unable to bring together a server that has online mode enabled. If you want to use BungeeCord or desire to let your players to use croaky clients, you volition need to disable online way.

There are a couple of things you should be aware of if you plan on disabling online mode:

Disabling online mode means that players will not be authenticated past Mojang'south servers before they connect to your server. This means that anyone could log in to your server using any username they choose and your server wouldn't verify they are who they say they are. If you are using a BungeeCord server, a plugin such as IPWhitelist volition aid mitigate risks. For Minecraft servers, a plugin like FastLogin would assistance, while modded servers could utilize a mod such as Elementary Login.
Your players will non have their profile skins and you will see everyone with Steve or Alex skins. Again, this is because your server is not contacting Mojang's authentication servers. You can use a plugin like SkinRestorer to restore profile skins in your server if desired.
