Initial server configuration

Before opening your server to players, a few important steps are required.


⚙️ Check server settings


Start by reviewing all server configuration options and make sure everything is correct on your side.


We recommend:


  • Setting the View Distance to the maximum you are comfortable with
⚠️ Important: View distance is the biggest factor in RAM usage*If your server uses too much RAM, reduce the view distance


  • Setting the number of player slots according to your needs


Take a moment to double-check these settings before starting the server.


▶️ Start the server


Once your configuration is ready, start your server using the Start button in the control panel.


🔐 Authenticate your server (required)


After the server starts, authentication is required before players can join.


You can authenticate in one of the following ways:


Option 1: From the logs


  • In the server logs, look for “DEVICE AUTHORIZATION”
  • Click the second link shown
  • Complete the authentication process


Option 2: From the popup


  • Click the Authenticate button (yellow button)
  • Complete the authentication process


✅ Confirm authentication


Once authentication is complete, you should see the following green message in the console:


Authentication successful! Use '/auth status' to view details.


To save your authentication, run the following command in the console:


/auth persistence Encrypted


🌐 Connect to your server


After authentication is saved, you can connect to your server using its IP address.


Your server is now fully configured and ready to use.
