Guestpath Secure Bridge Plugin FAQ
6 questions players actually ask, answered.
What is the main purpose of the Guestpath Secure Bridge Plugin?
It allows server owners to welcome guest players who don't have premium accounts while keeping online security verification active, without forcing the entire server into offline mode.
How does the plugin differentiate between premium and guest players?
Premium players log in through official Mojang accounts with normal verification, while guest players use a controlled entry path through a customizable whitelist of approved usernames.
What happens if a non-licensed player tries to use a registered premium username?
The plugin blocks the attempt and can kick the player with a customizable message preventing non-licensed players from taking over registered premium usernames.
How are guest players identified in the game?
Guest players receive a customizable chat prefix (such as "[Guest]"), custom spawn messages, screen titles, and default game mode settings upon joining.
Does this plugin support Bedrock edition players?
Yes, the plugin automatically bypasses guest checks for Bedrock edition players when using Floodgate or Geyser.
What command is used to update the plugin settings without restarting the server?
The `/sidegate reload` command reloads the plugin configuration files without requiring a server restart.
