Which login/register plugin works for version X (1.16/1.17/1.19)?

If you're running a cracked or semi-premium server, you'll want a login/register plugin — and the long-standing choice is AuthMe, which supports a wide range of Minecraft versions.

The recommended choice

AuthMe is the go-to login/register plugin and covers most versions. Pick the build that matches your Minecraft version. For newer versions, check the plugin page for a compatible release. Alternatives exist, but AuthMe plus a premium module covers most cracked and semi-premium setups.

How to choose the right build

1. Note your exact Minecraft version (e.g. 1.16, 1.17, 1.19).
2. Download the AuthMe build listed as compatible with that version.
3. Install it from the Mods & Plugins page and restart.
4. For semi-premium, add a premium module (like FastLogin).

Tip: Always match the plugin build to your server version — a mismatched build is the most common reason an auth plugin fails to load.
