Is using Auth Plugin In 1.2 Update Still Necessary?

Is It Still Necessary To Use An Auth plugin like SimpleAuth or the built in xbox live auth is safe enough ?

 

Built in Xbox Live auth is safe if you use PocketMine’s ALPHA8 version

 

It should be safe enough, but it's not wrong at all to have a auth plugin just for users with elevated rights/admins. Just as a 2nd Factor (in case someone breaks your xbox acc)

 

yeah it is because they can edit Minecraft and disable Forced-Xbox-Auth then connect to the server https://twitter.com/dktapps/status/912284951512539137

What if im using the pmmp he said we should get ???

 

Wrong, players can disable forced xbox auth on (modified) clients (or proxies), but a PMMP server (in it's default setup) will only let authentificated players join as of the ALPHA8 Pre-release.

 

not sure if that’s a word, think you mean “authenticated” heh

 

i did mean by auth (server-side xbox auth)

 

Even with a custom client, PocketMine still won't let you play if you're not logged in to Xbox. Sure the game may let you connect to an outside server, but PocketMine itself checks if you're logged in or not (unless you change that setting in PocketMine, which I wouldn't recommend)

 

For extra measures, I mean, extra security, it wont hurt anything!
