Frequently Asked Questions

What versions are supported?

Loki offers support for skins, capes, and authentication to every Minecraft version that has skins, capes, or authentication. From Classic 0.0.15a up to the latest version of Minecraft, Loki makes a strong effort to support everything.

Wait, what about classic servers?

Minecraft Classic servers use the Classic Protocol, which is entirely incompatible with the Yggdrasil protocol.

If you are using Drasl version 4.0.0 or later, then the Classic Protocol is supported. Unfortunately, fallback API servers are not supported.

If you are using another API server (Blessing Skin, Ely.by), you could ask them to implement it how Drasl does. For an immediate solution, consider playing ClassiCube or Classic+ instead.

Are total conversion mods or obscure mod loaders supported?

They should be, but if not, please file an issue.

Does chat reporting/secure-profile work?

It does, as long as you're on the same API server and your API server supports chat reporting. While using Loki, the player signature is not validated, even with enforce-secure-profile=true in server.properties - it only requires that a signature is provided. In this state, No Chat Reports will not resolve the issue if it were installed on the server-side, because it does not permit malformed signatures, it only tolerates missing or valid signatures. By default, when using Loki, signatures could potentially be forged unless you additionally set -DLoki.enforce_secure_profile=true. Doing this will, however, kick fallback API server players, and is discouraged (see "Chat validation error" in troubleshooting.md). You can even do chat reports across API servers, the API server will of course reject the attempt to make the report though.

I'd like to use this on Windows 95, does it support Java 5?

Loki supports Java 5 and above. However, Java 5 lacks some functionality and may have issues in some modded environments. If you are using Java 6 or later, there should be no issues.
