Partial Online Mode
by dnrsides
Partial Online Mode lets a server keep online-mode=true while admins grant specific player names offline access, so most players still sign in through Mojang authentication.
What it does
The mod is a server-side Fabric addition for Minecraft 26.2 that keeps the online-mode setting enabled. Administrators can name individual players who may join without a Microsoft-authenticated account, using the allowplayer command. Everyone on the allowlist still goes through normal Mojang authentication, so the security check stays in place for every other name.
Operator accounts can also receive operator permissions through offline UUIDs, which is useful when a trusted offline player needs admin rights. Fabric API is required, and the server must run Fabric Loader with the mod. Only the server needs the mod, so players join without installing anything. The license is MIT, and the code is not open source in the sense of a public repository listed here.
Key features
Per-player offline access
Specific player names can be allowed to join without a Microsoft-authenticated account, while online-mode stays on.
Allowplayer command
Administrators add or remove offline access for a named player with the allowplayer command.
Operator permissions for offline UUIDs
Offline accounts can be given operator permissions, so an admin role does not depend on Microsoft sign-in.
Normal authentication for everyone else
Players on the allowlist still pass through standard Mojang authentication, and no other name bypasses it.

Use cases
Friends without a Microsoft account

Who it’s for: Server owners and administrators running Minecraft 26.2 with Fabric who want to keep online-mode security enabled while still admitting a short list of offline players.
