WebsiteCaptcha - Secure Your Minecraft Server with CAPTCHA Verification

WebsiteCaptcha is a Minecraft plugin that enhances server security by requiring players to verify themselves via a web-based CAPTCHA before accessing the main game world. The plugin integrates with an SQLite database for persistent verification and offers extensive customization to fit your server’s needs.

⚠ Disclaimer
WebsiteCaptcha is an experimental plugin and may contain bugs or glitches. It is a proof-of-concept and could exhibit instabilities under high player loads or certain server configurations. The embedded web server, SQLite database, and timeout mechanics may lead to unexpected behavior.
Use this plugin at your own risk, and test it in a controlled environment before deploying it on a live server. Contributions to improve stability and fix bugs are highly encouraged!

Features
✅ CAPTCHA Verification – Players must complete a Google reCAPTCHA challenge via a web link.
✅ Limbo System – Unverified players are placed in a restricted void world with limited actions.
✅ XP Bar Countdown – Displays the remaining verification time, smoothly decreasing.
✅ Configurable Settings – Customize timeout duration, game mode, flight, blindness, and inventory visibility via config.yml.
✅ Kick Delay – Displays a configurable message for 5 seconds before kicking on timeout.
✅ Version Detection – Logs player Minecraft versions (1.8 to 1.21.4) using ProtocolLib.
✅ Persistent Storage – Stores verification data in an SQLite database (verification.db).

How It Works
1️⃣ Player Joins – The plugin logs the player’s IP, name, and version, then checks their verification status.
2️⃣ Verification Check – If unverified or expired, the player is sent to Limbo.
3️⃣ CAPTCHA Prompt – A clickable chat message provides a link to the CAPTCHA page.
4️⃣ Timeout Mechanism – An XP bar counts down; if it reaches zero, the player is kicked after a short delay.
5️⃣ Success – Upon CAPTCHA completion, the player is teleported to the main world with restored settings.

Installation
✅ Requirements

• Minecraft Server – Supports Paper/Bukkit/Spigot (1.20 - 1.21.4).
• ProtocolLib – Required for Limbo system and version detection.

Setup
1️⃣ Download WebsiteCaptcha.jar and place it in the plugins folder.
2️⃣ Install ProtocolLib and ensure it’s loaded.
3️⃣ Start the server to generate config.yml inside plugins/WebsiteCaptcha/.
4️⃣ Configure config.yml with your reCAPTCHA keys and preferences.
