How To Setup A MineHut External Server

How to Set Up a Minehut External Hosted Server

This guide will walk you through the process of connecting your MintServer to the Minehut network. This allows you to use your powerful and reliable server from us while still being listed and accessible through Minehut. We will be referring to Minehut's official guide and explaining the specific steps for our platform.

Before you begin, please ensure your server is running on Paper, Spigot, or a fork of Paper, as this is required for the connector plugin to work.

Step 1: Follow the Official Minehut Guide

Minehut provides a setup tool that will generate the necessary files for you. It's important that you follow their guide first to get these files.

1. Visit the official Minehut External Server setup page and follow their on-screen instructions.
2. During the process, you will download a .zip file.
3. Unzip this file on your computer. Inside, you will find the MinehutConnector.jar plugin and a proxy-config.yml file. You can ignore the run.bat or run.sh files, as our system handles this differently.

Step 2: Upload Files to Your Server

Now you need to upload the two files you obtained from Minehut to your MintServer.

1. Log into your Game Panel and navigate to the File Manager.
2. Upload the MinehutConnector.jar file into your /plugins folder.
3. Inside the /plugins folder, create a new folder named exactly MinehutConnector.
4. Open the new MinehutConnector folder and upload your proxy-config.yml file into it.

When you are done, the path to your config file should be /plugins/MinehutConnector/proxy-config.yml.

Step 3: Request Startup Parameter Changes

This is the most important step. The Minehut connector requires special startup flags to function, which can only be added by our support team.

You must open a support ticket to have these parameters added to your server. Please join our official Discord and create a ticket.

Our team will apply the changes for you and let you know once it's done.

Step 4: Start Your Server

Once our support team has confirmed that the startup parameters have been added, you can go to your Console and start your server. It should now boot up and successfully connect to the Minehut network.

If you encounter any issues, feel free to update your support ticket and our team will be happy to assist!
