​
First-time setup

1

Under Startup, select your desired software (Paper, Spigot, Forge, Fabric, Vanilla) and Minecraft version.
3

Click Start. The console will show the boot process. When you see Done!, your server is online.

Installing plugins

Plugins work on Paper and Spigot servers.
  1. Download the plugin .jar file from SpigotMC or Modrinth.
  2. Open the file manager and navigate to /plugins.
  3. Upload the .jar file.
  4. Restart the server to load the plugin.

​
Installing modpacks

1

Stop the server

Always stop the server before switching software.
2

Switch to Forge or Fabric

In Startup, select the matching loader and version required by the modpack.
3

Upload the modpack

Upload the server pack .zip to the root directory, then extract it via the file manager.
4

Set the correct startup jar

Update the JAR filename in Startup if it differs from the default.
5

Start the server

First boot may take a few minutes as mods generate configs.

​
Server properties

Edit server.properties from the file manager or use the Configuration tab to change:
  • max-players — player slot limit
  • difficulty — peaceful, easy, normal, hard
  • gamemode — survival, creative, adventure
  • pvp — enable or disable player combat
  • motd — message shown in the server list
Restart the server after editing server.properties for changes to take effect.
