Minecraft Offline Mode Risks on GlassHosting

Why online-mode exists

Online mode validates Java sessions with Mojang/Microsoft. Offline mode allows cracked usernames and impersonation—dangerous on public networks.

Guidance

Keep online-mode true for public or semi-public communities
Private LAN-style exceptions are rare on internet-exposed hosts
Prefer whitelist + online mode for friend SMPs
Geyser/Floodgate setups have their own auth considerations—follow those guides carefully

GlassHosting stance

We recommend authenticated modes for internet-facing Minecraft. Security incidents from offline-mode impersonation are community-owned.
