Features

• Does not replace existing whitelist. You can still manually whitelist people. OPs also bypass the authentication check.
• No wait time. Once your accounts are linked, server access is instant.
• No need to "whitelist yourself" for every server. Linked accounts work across all servers that use MCLink.
• Multi-platform support. Support for Forge & Bukkit (and Spigot). Others are being worked on.
• Multi-service support. Supports Twitch, Patreon & GameWhisp. Others are being worked on.
• Multi-community servers. Any combination of services and server owners is possible.

Feature requests can be made via GitHub issues.

Thanks

• @Brianetta for the work on the Bukkit plugin.
