Overview
Let players log in with their premium Minecraft account.
Premium lets players log in with their premium Minecraft account, verified by Mojang, without a password. Install it as described in Installation and enable it in providers/providers.yml.
Its files are in providers/Premium/: settings.yml, messages.yml and commands.yml.
Who is asked for a premium login
Premium decides for every joining player whether they own the premium account of their username. Such a player is asked for a premium login, which the official launcher completes on its own; everyone else continues with the next provider, such as Credential. Premium detection explains how Premium decides, and how to avoid disconnecting offline players who use a premium name.
A username linked to a Premium account always needs the premium login, so an offline client cannot take it.
Usernames
Premium owns its players' names: only the owner of the Mojang account Steve can join through Premium as Steve. A player who renames their account at Mojang plays under the new name on their next join and keeps their account.
Under the default username rules, the owner of a name takes it over from a Credential account that registered it first, and that account is renamed.
Moving accounts
| Command | Does |
|---|---|
/premium | starts moving the account to Premium |
/premium confirm | confirms the move |
/premium cancel | cancels it |
A player moves to Premium while logged in, then joins with their premium account. Moving from Premium to Credential needs one more premium login, after which the player chooses a password. See Moving between providers.
Features
Premium supports every feature. Premium accounts are already protected by Mojang's login, so many networks do not require verification for them.
See Settings for every setting.
