pageGetting Started

Setting Up the Server

Once your server is installed properly, go to the console and click start. The server should install PaperMC properly.

Make sure to accept EULA by going to file manager and searching for eula.txtand changing it toTRUE.Not doing so will not start the server!

Restart the server after accepting EULA

The server will automatically run the startup command once it's restarted. Once the server has been set up, it's ready for use! Copy the IP of your server from the info panel located under the console tab. Head over to Minecraft and paste your IP address with port and start playing!

Server Configuration

As the server configuration is very big and detailed, we will be covering some important settings you might want to change. You can edit these options by locating server.properties file, in the file manager.

This file will only appear after you install PaperMC successfully.

Allow joins with cracked launcher

Set online-mode to true

Using this option allows anyone to login as you with just your username. Only use this option if you have a login system in place or if you plan to play with friends.

Message of The Day (MOTD)

Set your custom message after MOTD= . Below are some color codes to customize your message color.

  • \u00A70 = Black.

  • \u00A71 = Dark Blue.

  • \u00A72 = Dark Green.

  • \u00A73 = Dark Cyan.

  • \u00A74 = Dark Red.

  • \u00A75 = Purple.

  • \u00A76 = Orange.

  • \u00A77 = Light Grey.

For example, if you need MOTD with Purple, set as follows- motd=\u00A75Welcome to my server!

Custom Seed

Set level-seed= with the seed of your choice. Doing so will need a reset of the world. Make sure to take a backup.

In the file manager, delete or rename the folder that is the same name of the world and the ones ending in “_nether”, and, “_the_end”, if available. For example, world, world_nether, and world_the_end. (The server uses the folders that begin with the same level-name as in server.properties. You can have multiple world folders and can switch between them by updating the level-name in server.properties.)

Restarting the server will now generate with the seed you specified.

To get a full idea about each option, we suggest you to have a look at the Minecraft Wiki's page of server.properties

Plugins

Installing plugins is as easy as 1,2,3! You can search for your favorite plugins by navigating to plugins section in your panel. Choose the plugin you like and install it.

You can also install plugins manually by creating a folder named plugins if it does not exist already, and simply uploading your plugin.jar file.
