Discord AutoWhitelist
by Mental
Discord AutoWhitelist lets a server add players to its whitelist after they submit a username through a Discord embed, and checks each name against the official Mojang API.
What it does
Server owners post a whitelist embed in a Discord channel, and a player submits a Minecraft username through it. The mod validates the name against the Mojang API before adding it to the server's whitelist, so only real accounts are accepted. A premium account requirement can be switched off in the config, letting offline names through when the server allows them.
Whitelisted names are kept in a plain whitelist.json file in the config folder, which can be edited by hand or copied for backup. The mod tracks whether the embed has already been posted, so it sends the whitelist message once and does not flood the channel. Embed colors, button text, descriptions and the messages for success, errors and invalid attempts are all set in a JSON config file.
The mod is Forge-only and runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. It is published for 1.20.1 – 1.20.5 and is released under the MIT License, not as open source.
Key features
Whitelist embed in Discord
A whitelist embed with a button lets players request access from a Discord channel without contacting an admin.
Mojang username validation
Each submitted name is checked through the official Mojang API, and a premium requirement can be toggled on or off.
Editable whitelist file
Entries are saved to whitelist.json in the config folder, a lightweight file that can be edited and backed up with ordinary file tools.
Spam-proof posting
The embed is sent only once, and the mod records whether it has already been posted to avoid repeated messages.
Customizable messages
Embed colors, button text, descriptions and success, error and invalid-attempt messages can all be changed in the JSON config.

How it compares
Simple Autoban is Forge-only for 1.20.1 – 1.20.4, open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and server-side only, so it handles bans rather than whitelisting. Mod Whitelist is available for both Fabric and Forge across 1.20 – 1.20.4 under the MIT License, and either side can run it, with the environment set to optional. WhitelistGate runs on Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, is server-side only and is open source under the Apache License 2.0, with Discord-based whitelisting as its main function.
