<p align="center"> <img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/version-3.1.1-blue"> <img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/minecraft-1.21.11-green"> <img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/java-21-red"> </p>Ever started playing on one of your Minecraft servers and a few hours later that one friend that didn't buy the game wants to join? Now you have to start a lengthy process of turning your server to offline mode and making sure everyone has their inventory and achievements after the switch...
This happened to me way to often, and now I automated the whole process. The Java applicatin will convert all player related files to be offline or online compatible.
Supporting
[!WARNING]
As of Minecraft version 26.1 there were some changes to world folder structure! This means I currently can't guarantee that the plugin will work as intended. I am on it, but this can take a bit. Cheers!
Currently I tested and can confirm support for Vanilla, Bukkit, Paper and Purpur servers. Every Minecraft version since and including 1.17.1 is confirmed to work. Earlier versions I can't guarantee.
Regarding Spigot and Forge servers, I haven't had enough time to fully confirm everything will work 100% of the time.
But using the new mooc-config.yml file, you can specify custom directories to convert.
