How to Host a Velocity Minecraft Server With Paper

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 Forwarding Secret

Open the file “forwarding.secret” and copy the text. This is the key that velocity will send to server when connecting.

6. Navigate to the Proxy Server

Navigate back to the “Servers” page and select the server to proxy.

7. Navigate to the Config Folder and Open “paper-global.yml”

Navigate to the config file and scroll down to the velocity option.

8. Change The “enabled” and “secret” Options

Change “enabled” to “true” and change “secret” to your secret from Step 5 and click save.

It should look like this.

9. Restart the Server and Copy the Connection Details

Restart the server for the changes to take effect and copy the connection details for the server so velocity knows where to send players.

10. Navigate Back to the Velocity Server

Navigate back to the velocity server and re-open “velocity.toml” and scroll down to the “servers” option.

11.a (Optional) Delete Everything in “forced-hosts”

forced hosts are likely not needed for the average user and can cause issues if not configured properly, so it is best to delete.

11.b Delete the Options for “lobby”, “minigames”, and “factions”

Delete the options for the default servers: “lobby”, “minigames”, and “factions”. Be sure to keep the “try” option.

12. Add Your Server Name and Connection Details

Within the “servers” option input the name of the server you would like to add followed by the connection details from Step 9. For this guide we will call the server “hub”

13. Change the Name in “try” to Your Server Name

This will determine what server to send your players to. Change the default value of “lobby” to the name of your server. Since we used “hub” for ours, it will look like this.

14. Save the File and Restart the server

Save the file to set the changes that were made, then restart the server for them to apply.

15. Copy the Connection Details for Your Velocity Server

Copy the connection details of the server.

16. Open the Minecraft Game

Open the Minecraft launcher and select the same version as the server. Click the ‘PLAY’ button.

17. Open the Multiplayer Page

Click the ‘Multiplayer’ button on the Minecraft homepage to begin adding your new server.

18. Add the Server

Click the ‘Add Server’ button so you can begin entering the details for your new Minecraft server.

19. Add Your Server to Your Minecraft Client

Give the server a suitable name and enter the IP address and port from Step 15 into the ‘Server Address’ field, use the format IP_ADDRESS:PORT (e.g., 123.123.123.123:5000) – This is very important. Press ‘Done’.
