GateKeeper – Access Control for Necesse Servers
Adds whitelisting to multiplayer servers — no more random joiners or griefers.
It uses a server-side whitelist (by SteamID) so only approved players can connect. No client mod is required for normal players.
Full command documentation is on the GitHub.
Always back up your world before enabling new mods!
Highlights
- SteamID-based whitelist — secure, server-side enforcement
- Easy admin workflow: /whitelist enable, have players join once, then /whitelist approve-last
- Emergency lockdown mode and rate-limited join notices
- /whitelist reload safely re-reads edits to whitelist.json - if parsing fails, GateKeeper keeps the old settings and backs up the broken file
Notes
If you see it listed as a “client mod,” that’s just how Steam categorizes things. The server still controls access — but installing it on your admin client makes the commands appear in your list.
