fixed in version 3.0.0. You now need to make your own minecraft server to let people oauth with their account.

Nearata hey a couple of questions:

If I stopped using this plugin and extension, would existing accounts on the forum be able to function? If not, how could I remedy this if I needed to not use it for any reason?
And for the server, would it be https://<website url>:4567/verify or should this be something else?
For the OAuth key I assume is in the Minecraft plugin folder, but please advise if it is not.

Happy to do testing soon!

User39 If I stopped using this plugin and extension, would existing accounts on the forum be able to function? If not, how could I remedy this if I needed to not use it for any reason?

no, users who register an account with Minecraft can't change email and password. The use case of this extension implies that you close public registration and keep only this as the only OAuth for the users. So, this implies as such that you write extensions that depend on this one.

User39 And for the server, would it be https://<website url>:4567/verify or should this be something else?

If you are running the Minecraft server on the same machine of the forum, replace <website url> with localhost.
Example: you buy a dedicated server and setup both Flarum and a Minecraft server on it, that's the same machine.

User39 For the OAuth key I assume is in the Minecraft plugin folder, but please advise if it is not.

If for OAuth key you mean the secret code yes, that's in the config.yml file and is generated on the first run of the plugin.

If you are in need of a custom extension, you can open a discussion in

@Nearata thanks for the detailed response. If this extension were to go unsupported at some point, what would be the recourse for accounts created? Jus to confirm – would users need to abandon their accounts, and insated, create new ones?

Nearata

User39 would users need to abandon their accounts, and insated, create new ones?

yes.

The reason of it is because you can't know the email of a Minecraft account when they login your server, so i put a fake email in the email field, on register. (this is also another reason why you can't change email)

User39

Nearata I imagine I could go in and manually change the emails, and ask everyone to reset them, from the admin panel?

Nearata

User39 change email to what? if you disable this extension, the only way for the user to login is to reset the password. But because there's a fake email into their account, they can't.

User39

Nearata in the admin panel enter the real email of X user if I ask them, then they could reset the password I’d imagine.

Nearata

User39 yes, in the admin panel, as admin user, you can change their email and password.

Nearata very confused. I set things up, but the only thing that happens is, on login, it will say "You have X seconds to login" and it counts down, and then resets. When I try to login to the website using the extension, it tells me to join the game. But I can't join the game lol... hmmm

Could it be that I am running 1.19.2?
"1.18.2 is the only supported version for now."

And, do I need a separate server on which to run this? I cannot join my main server, and verify at the same time it seems like. Ideally, I'd like the main server people play on to also be able to verify users somehow.

Thx!
