Offline Mode & Gamemode Selector
Toggle authentication mode and set default gamemode (Survival/Creative/Adventure/Spectator).
Overview
Configure server authentication requirements and default gamemode settings directly from the Tunnely interface. These settings give you control over player verification and spawn conditions.
Quick Summary
- Offline mode surfaces a clear anti‑piracy warning
- Gamemode cycles with emoji labels; persists to config
- Server init applies authentication + gamemode settings
How It Works
1
Offline mode disables Minecraft account authentication, allowing cracked clients to join. A prominent warning explains piracy concerns.
2
The gamemode selector cycles through Survival, Creative, Adventure, and Spectator with visual emoji indicators.
3
Settings are saved to your Tunnely configuration file and applied automatically when starting a new server session.
4
Authentication settings affect both joining players and how the Minecraft server validates connections.
Use Cases
Enable offline mode for local testing with cracked clients or when Mojang authentication servers are down.
Set Creative mode for building sessions, map creation, or creative-focused multiplayer projects.
Use Spectator mode for server tours, map showcases, or observing gameplay without interaction.
Keep Survival as default for standard gameplay experiences.
Technical Details
- Offline mode sets the 'online-mode=false' property in server.properties when starting the session.
- Gamemode changes only affect newly spawned players - existing players retain their current gamemode.
- The configuration persists across Tunnely restarts and applies to all future sessions until changed.
- Changing these settings requires stopping and restarting the server session to take effect.
Best Practices
- Only use offline mode for legitimate testing purposes - piracy harms game developers.
- Set appropriate visibility (Invite Only) when using offline mode to prevent unauthorized access.
- Document your gamemode choice if hosting for others so players know what to expect.
- Operators can always override gamemode for specific players using in-game commands.
Common Issues & Solutions
- Players may not be able to join offline mode servers if their client is in online mode.
- Gamemode changes don't apply to currently connected players - they must rejoin or use /gamemode.
- Offline mode disables Minecraft's anti-cheat and skin verification systems.
