Basic Login
by BraveCake
Basic Login is a NeoForge security mod for servers running in offline mode, and it keeps new players locked until they log in.
What it does
Before a player logs in, the mod blocks most of what they could otherwise do. A player who has not logged in cannot take damage, cannot interact with blocks or entities, and cannot send chat messages or run commands, except for the commands that handle login and registration. Players who do not log in within 60 seconds are disconnected automatically.
The mod is aimed at servers that use offline mode, where anyone can join under any name. It is described by its author as a counterpart to similar authentication plugins for Bukkit-based servers. Installation and usage steps are covered on the author's own pages, and the mod is licensed under the MIT License, which means it is not open source. Basic Login is published only for NeoForge, across five game versions, 1.21 – 1.21.4, with 2.0.0.21.1 for 1.21.4 as the latest file.
Key features

Restricted actions before login
Until a player logs in, they take no damage, cannot interact with anything, and cannot chat or run commands other than login and register.
Automatic timeout
Players who do not log in within 60 seconds of joining are kicked from the server.
