Is their anyway to make a server on B1.7.3 without using offline mode?
Authenication doesn't work on any version predating 1.0, and the only working solution I've found is to disable online mode. One issue, I don' t want to do this as the servers whitelisted for me an my friends and I don't want to use a random password thing thats jank or just hopefully pray that no one guesses the whitelisted username or something.

Mojang change Minecraft authentication system twice on the whole history. I believe b1.7.3 is using the first, the Legacy Mojang server, which is not compatible with current Xbox authentication system in modern era.
The only way, is to modify how the game client authenticate to adapt current Xbox authentication system, and the server to accept it. I'm not sure if someone did that before, if u can't code, maybe pay someone else to do it.
if you want to use mods on the client side
