Need to run multiple services like a Dynmap or a BungeeCord instance on a single server? Allocating additional network ports is the key. By default, MintServers provides you with ports to get started, but you can easily add more right from the game panel.
This guide will show you how to create new port allocations for your server.
Why Allocate Additional Ports?
- Run Multiple Services: Use extra ports for plugins like Dynmap, for voice servers, or to connect to a BungeeCord or Velocity proxy network.
- Greater Flexibility: Customize your server setup to handle exactly what you need without being limited to a single port connection.
- Improved Management: Keep different services organized by assigning each one its own unique port.
How to Allocate Ports in the Panel
Adding a new port is a quick process in the MintServers game panel.
- Log into your account at the MintServers Dashboard and access the Game Panel for your server.
- In the server management area on the left-hand sidebar, click on the Network tab.
- Click the blue Create Allocation button. A new, unique port will be instantly generated and added to your list.
- Set the Primary Port (Optional): Your server's primary connection uses the port marked as "Primary". If you want the new port to be the main one players use to connect, simply click the Make Primary button next to it.
🛠️ Requesting More Ports
By default, you can create up to 5 ports for your server directly from the panel. Allocating extra ports unlocks your server's potential to host multiple services at once.
If you find that you need more than this initial limit for your projects, or if you have any questions about configuring a specific plugin to use your new port, do not hesitate to open a support ticket or reach out to our team through our official Discord for assistance!
