Revision as of 10:41, 10 August 2017 by @DeletedUser41302033(talk | contribs)(The server software is no longer available on any known public Mojang download server.)
Alpha 1.0.16 added new features and commands for servers.
Additions
Added online authentication for online servers
The server can now be started in either online/secure mode or offline/insecure mode. A secure server requires all connecting players to first authenticate on www.minecraft.net, then checks that the authentication matches, before letting the player in. A server running in offline mode won’t do any such checks, nor will it ask the client to authenticate, but you can’t be sure that people who connect really are who they claim they are. Offline mode is meant for LAN plan where you know the people connecting to the server.
Added ban/pardon commands to ban and unban a player from the game
Added ban-ip/pardon-ip commands to ban and unban a specific ip (you have to kick the player manually)
Added op/deop commands to add/remove a player from the op list
Added player ops. They can send server commands by typing a slash followed by a server command. Server ops can also build/destroy blocks near the spawn area.
