Potato Auth
by Mr_Potato
Potato Auth lets a Minecraft player log in automatically to chosen multiplayer servers, with its password kept encrypted.
What it does
The mod stores login details for specific multiplayer servers so the player does not have to type them on each join. The author notes say the player can choose which servers get automatic login, and that passwords are encrypted before they are kept.
Because the environment is client-side only, the mod is installed by players and never by server owners, and servers need nothing extra to accept it. It is published for Fabric alone, with files covering 1.20 – 1.21.5 in thirteen release versions, the newest being 1.1 for 1.21.5, released 2025-11-27. Potato Auth is open source under the MIT License, and its source code and issue tracker are publicly linked.
Key features
Stored login credentials
Credentials for chosen multiplayer servers are kept so the login step is skipped when connecting.
Per-server selection
The player decides which servers receive the stored login, leaving other servers to be joined manually.
Encrypted passwords
Stored passwords are encrypted, so they are not kept in plain text on the player's machine.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.

Use cases
Frequent server hopping
A player who joins the same few servers every day can skip the password prompt on each connection.
Who it’s for: Players who regularly join password-protected multiplayer servers and want the login handled automatically. Server owners do not need to install anything for it to work.
How it compares
Serverauth Mod is server-side only, not open source, under the MIT License, with files for 1.20 – 26.1.2, so players join without installing it. MineAuth is also server-side only and open source under the MIT License, but it targets 1.21.11 alone. IDELogin is the only alternative that runs on the client, is open source under the MIT License, and covers Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.20 – 26.2.
