Warning: Decentralized Auth is currently in Beta, so there may be breaking protocol changes in the future. Proceed with caution and prepare to have your server and client mod versions updated together!

Decentralized Auth is currently released for Fabric 1.19 on Modrinth.

  3. Install Decentralized Auth for Minecraft 1.19 by placing the JAR file in your .minecraft/mods folder.

Fabric server instructions

  1. Install the Fabric Server Launcher.
  2. Install the Fabric API for Minecraft 1.19 by placing the JAR file in your server's mods folder.

Customizing your player

You can add a skin to your Decentralized Auth player by saving a valid skin texture to .minecraft/decentralizedauth/client/SKIN.png in your modded client version's data directory.

You can also add a cape texture by saving it to .minecraft/decentralizedauth/client/CAPE.png. If you're looking for a cape texture to use, you can try the official Decentralized Auth cape!

Other mod loaders and Minecraft versions

Support for other mod loaders and versions is planned but not yet started. If you'd like to see a particular setup prioritized, please add a 👍 to the corresponding issue(s) on GitLab, or create a new issue if one doesn't exist.
