SPKZMC:Oasis (Minecraft Server Configuration)

Oasis: Version-Agnostic Minecraft SMP Server

MoNoRi-Chan, the ever-innovative server owner, isn't just building a Minecraft server; he's crafting a version-agnostic paradise known as the Oasis. This ambitious feat wouldn't be possible without the magic of Velocity (SPKZ's SMP Implementation), a powerful Minecraft proxy server, and a trio of plugins working in perfect harmony.

Velocity: The Multiverse Conductor

Imagine Velocity as a grand conductor, orchestrating a symphony of servers. It acts as the central hub, seamlessly routing players to their desired destinations within the Oasis, regardless of their Minecraft version or platform. This allows players using the latest Java edition to coexist with those on Bedrock Edition (including consoles like PlayStation and Xbox) – a truly unified experience.

The Plugin Powerhouse:

To achieve this version-agnostic utopia, MoNoRi-Chan has strategically deployed three plugins:

• Geyser: This plugin acts as a platform compatibility layer. It essentially translates the Bedrock Edition protocol into something the Java server can understand, allowing seamless connection for Bedrock players. Think of it as a universal translator for the Minecraft world!
• ViaVersion: This plugin tackles vertical compatibility for the Java edition. It acts as a bridge, allowing players using older Java versions to connect and play alongside those using the latest updates. Imagine a time machine for Minecraft, bringing players from different eras together!
• ViaBackwards: As a companion to ViaVersion, ViaBackwards ensures a smooth experience for those joining with very old Java versions. It translates features and mechanics from newer updates so older clients can still function within the server. Think of it as a compatibility patch, smoothing out the wrinkles between vastly different game versions.

The Oasis Advantage:

This combination of Velocity and these three plugins grants the Oasis several advantages:

• Unprecedented Inclusiveness: Players of all stripes, regardless of version or platform, can join the fun.
• Authentication Features: To ensure Account Security, Requires Authentication for Cracked Minecraft Account Login (offline mode) with /login authentication.
• Vibrant Community: The potential for a diverse and exciting player base is vast, fostering collaboration and innovation.
• Future-Proofing: The Oasis isn't limited by future Minecraft updates. As long as these plugins are maintained, the server can adapt and evolve.

MoNoRi-Chan's Dedication:

While some might call it "wasting time"; MoNoRi-Chan's meticulous configuration of Velocity and these plugins demonstrates his dedication to creating a unique and inclusive Minecraft experience. The Oasis stands as a testament to his technical prowess and his vision for a boundless Minecraft world. And he's also sharing his "secret sauce" via those links you can run Velocity for yourself.

Security Features

Oasis (Minecraft Server Configuration) - Accidental Security Feature

One of the most unintentional but highly effective security features of Oasis's Minecraft server setup was discovered entirely by accident. This occurred when a player attempted to impersonate MoNoLidThZ, but due to the way Velocity Proxy + FastLogin was configured, the system instantly rejected the impersonator’s connection attempt—without even forwarding it to the authentication backend.

How It Works (Or, "Nice Try")

When a player logs in using FastLogin, the proxy first checks if the username is registered as a premium player (i.e., Mojang/Microsoft authenticated). If the player is marked as premium, their session must be fully encrypted.

In the case of "fake MoNoLidThz" (notice the lowercase z instead of Z), the login attempt was unencrypted, which caused Velocity to:

1. Drop the connection outright before even sending the request to the auth server.
2. Log the attempt as a rejected premium login request.
3. Prevent the impersonator from even reaching the authentication step.

MoNoLidThZ's reaction?

"Nice try."

Accidental Security is the Best Security

This "feature" wasn’t planned—but in a true happy accident, it provided an added layer of security against username spoofing. Unlike some offline-mode servers where cracked accounts can freely impersonate others until they reach the authentication plugin, Velocity’s strict session handling blocked the imposter before they even had a chance.

So while some servers might worry about players spoofing admin names, Project Art3mis doesn’t even let them get through the front gate.

Moral of the story?

• Sometimes, good security isn’t about what you build—it’s about what you accidentally configure correctly.
• And if you're trying to log in as MoNoLidThZ, make sure you actually own the account. 😉
