# How To Allow Cracked Players To Join Your Minecraft Server

Some gamers prefer to play offline or use cracked versions of games. If you're looking to accommodate these players, you might want to consider disabling online mode to allow cracked players to join. In this article, we'll show you how to do it!

**Step 1:** Go to your [NameHero Client Area](https://www.namehero.com/clientarea.php) and head over to the **Advanced Game Panel** by clicking the blue button as seen in the screenshot within the NameHero Client Area. Here you will be accessing the **Files** tab**.**
