PasswordProtect is a lightweight Minecraft server security plugin that adds an extra layer of protection by requiring players to authenticate with a password before they can interact with the world. It's designed for private servers, development servers, and communities that want stronger access control without relying solely on the standard Minecraft authentication system.
