ServerPassword
by FBanna
ServerPassword lets server owners on Fabric gate a whitelist behind a shared password that players enter on first join.
What it does
On large community servers, adding each player to the whitelist by hand becomes slow. ServerPassword addresses this: a new player meeting the server for the first time is greeted with a dialog asking for the password. Entering it correctly adds that player to the whitelist, and the dialog does not appear again on later joins.
The password is set in the mod's config file with a default value, and the config can be changed on the server. Players are shown a message when the password is changed in the config, so they know to ask for the new one. The mod runs only on the server and needs no installation on player clients.
The server must also have enforce-whitelist and white-list enabled in server.properties for the check to apply. Fabric API is required. Files are published for Fabric only, for 26.2 and 26.3; the latest file is 1.1.1+26.3 for 26.3, released 2026-09-29. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Password-gated whitelist
New players enter a shared password once, and a correct entry adds them to the whitelist automatically.
Join-time password dialog
A dialog during the configuration phase prompts the player for the password before the game starts.
Configurable password
The password is stored in the config with a default value, and the server owner can replace it.
Change notice
Players receive a message when the configured password is changed, so the new one can be requested.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners on Fabric who run a whitelisted server and want members to join with a shared password. Players only need to know the password; they install nothing.
How it compares
Dialog Password Hider is client-side only, open source under the MIT License, and published for 1.21.6 – 26.2, so it covers a different part of the join process on the player side. Combat Persistence is server-side only, open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and covers 26.1 – 26.2, so it does not handle whitelisting. AutoLogin is client-side only, open source under the MIT License, and covers 1.21 – 26.3.
