Generic Minecraft Server Authentication Web Portal

Intro

This is a generic solution for a basic XAMP stack Authentication Portal for a Minecraft Server. It utilizes the Discord Server roles and authentication to manage access and Minecraft's built in RCON functionality to automatically manage the whitelist and banlist for the server(s). Users do not need to create any accounts in order to interact with the portal and their access is limited by the roles that are setup in the associated Discord Server.

This web application features:

• Independent public portal to allow for convienence: users can submit applications for the server and privileged users can approve or deny those applications
• View Applications, Whitelists, and Banlists with each users' Discord Id and Minecraft Account so there's no confusion over who's who
• Automatically add users to the servers' whitelists and banlists without accessing the server or logging in
• Automatically verifies users are in the associated Discord server and has appropriate roles before application submission and validates that the provided Minecraft Account exists
• Automatically posts when submissions have been approved or denied into a channel in the Discord server
