How to Host a Paper Minecraft Server
1. Log in for the First Time
After placing your order on the Cybrancee website, you will receive an email confirming your order. The first step is to access the Control Panel, where you will manage the server. To get access for the first time, you will need to reset your password (this is because we don’t share the password via email).
Go to https://panel.cybrancee.com and when greeted with the login page, click on the ‘Forgot Password’ button. Alternatively, you can get to the Panel by going to Client Area > Click on the ‘Services’ box > Click on your product > Click ‘Go to Panel’.
2. Reset Your Password
You will receive a reset password email like the image below. Click the ‘Reset Password’ button to initiate the process.
3. Set a New Password
Enter a new secure password into the form, then click the ‘Reset Password’ button.
4. Access Your Panel Dashboard
You will be taken back to the login page where you can now log in with your new set of credentials. Once logged in, you will be presented with the Cybrancee Pterodactyl Control Panel. This is where you will manage and configure your game server. From here, click on the ‘Manage Server’ button.
5. Get Your Connection Details
By default, the world will have started automatically with the default settings on the latest version of Minecraft. To join your server, use the IP address and port provided on the dashboard.
6. Open the Plugin Searcher
Go to the panel and click the ‘Plugins’ option on the left.
7. Find Your Plugins
Search for the plugins you would like to install. Click the install icon on the plugin.
8. Install the Plugins onto the Server
You will then need to select the version of the plugin to install, then click ‘Install plugin’.
9. Start the Minecraft Server
Go to the ‘Console’ page and restart the server (it is always best to start the server from the console page so you can see any outputs, such as error messages).
10. Open the Minecraft Game
Open the Minecraft launcher and select the latest version. Click the ‘PLAY’ button.
11. Open the Multiplayer Page
Click the ‘Multiplayer’ button on the Minecraft homepage to begin adding your new server.
12. Add the Server
Click the ‘Add Server’ button so you can begin entering the details for your new Minecraft server.
13. Add Your Server to Your Minecraft Client
Give the server a suitable name and enter the IP address and port from Step 5 into the ‘Server Address’ field, use the format IP_ADDRESS:PORT (e.g., 123.123.123.123:5000) – This is very important. Press ‘Done’.
14. Join Your New Server
Double click the server to join it – and you’re in!
15. Play Minecraft! 🎉
