Configuring external server

[vagrant condor]

Now I'm getting this error

But in the velocity docs it says I must disable it

[obsidian jungle]

what external host are you using?

https://gamersafer.notion.site/Minehut-External-Servers-Docs-c93113ba90924e3fb8d941348e59439c

Here's MH's external server guide just for reference

Try to follow this and lmn if you run into any issues

[vagrant condor]

yeah, this is what I've been following

[vagrant condor]

Oracle cloud VPS

I can access the server on my own though

It works as fine as long as I don't add the -Dmojang.sessionserver=https://api.minehut.com/mitm/proxy/session/minecraft/hasJoined flag in my start.sh and enable the haproxy-protocol

[obsidian jungle]

Ok full disclosure I’ve never actually went through these steps myself and only have worked on servers that have done this

You’re using a standalone paper server right?

enforce-secure-profile needs to be false

[vagrant condor]

No, I was trying to set up a velocity proxy

since we're going to do an hub and stuff like that

[vagrant condor]

does it have to be false even if you're using a proxy connection?

[obsidian jungle]

No

[vagrant condor]

hum

[obsidian jungle]

Your MH server plan is external right?

[vagrant condor]

now I'm trying to set up a standalone paper server

but still can't manage to make it work

[vagrant condor]

yeah

[obsidian jungle]

What’s the error?

[vagrant condor]

it seems like the http requests I have as flags don't work

but I'm not sure

[obsidian jungle]

Could you send your flags here?

[vagrant condor]

it says I need to enable bungeecord to join the server, if I enable it, it says that the server is in a bad state

[vagrant condor]

sure thing

java -Dminecraft.api.auth.host=https://authserver.mojang.com/ -Dminecraft.api.account.host=https://api.mojang.com/ -Dminecraft.api.services.host=https://api.minecraftservices.com/ -Dminecraft.api.session.host=https://api.minehut.com/mitm/proxy -Xms20480M -Xmx20480M -jar server.jar nogui

[obsidian jungle]

looks good

enforce-secure-profile is false right?

in server.properties

[vagrant condor]

yes

[obsidian jungle]

paper-global.yml has proxy-protocol to true

[vagrant condor]

hum

no

[obsidian jungle]

you're using tcpshield?

[vagrant condor]

no

[obsidian jungle]

then set it to true

[vagrant condor]

mh

ok

let me try again

bungeecord: false, right?

[obsidian jungle]

?

[vagrant condor]

in spigot.yml

[obsidian jungle]

if that's the default value then yes

bungeecord doesn't work with mh's external server plan

[vagrant condor]

yeah I know

and it was disabled before

but I received an error telling me to enable it

anyways

now I get this error

[obsidian jungle]

yea don't enable it

[vagrant condor]

alr, it's disabled

[vagrant condor]

but this is what happened after enabling proxy-protocol

[obsidian jungle]

make sure you've done all of this - https://docs.papermc.io/velocity/player-information-forwarding#configuring-modern-forwarding-for-paper

[vagrant condor]

but I'm not using velocity anymore

let me try to use the proxy method again

[obsidian jungle]

💀
Must be an issue with your mh external server

[vagrant condor]

?

what are you talking about?

[obsidian jungle]

did you not switch the proxy type to other?

[vagrant condor]

yeah I did

[vagrant condor]

and this is the guide to follow if I'm using velocity

which I'm not anymore

[obsidian jungle]

@knotty canyon
Please help 💀

[vagrant condor]

ok I'm trying again with velocity and a paper server

[knotty canyon]

try one or both of the following

Set the server back to free plan. it will automatically refund you any remaining credits. start the server for a few minutes. hibernate the server. then set it to the external plan and reconfigure. If there is some internal issue, this may reset to default settings.

Set the server back to free plan. It will automatically refund you any remaining credits. Pick another server on your account and get the external plan on that one and reconfigure. I've seen this issue where very rarely, the external plan does not work on specific servers most likely do to it being an old legacy server.

[vagrant condor]

humm, ok

let me try real quick

[vagrant condor]

ok

it kinda worked

but kinda not

I don't get any error from MH but I still can't access ther server

I'm getting timed out

this is what the console has to say

[knotty canyon]

whats your server name?

[vagrant condor]

astrorealm

oh

if you're talking about the server name on MH is Tryxe

[knotty canyon]

does your server have any sort of firewall?

[vagrant condor]

idk

it might, but I have never had any problem with it

[knotty canyon]

can you send me an image of your settings on the minehut panel

you can DM it to me if you dont want to send it publicly

[vagrant condor]

nah it's fine, thanks

[knotty canyon]

does that domain have an srv record or is it an A record

[vagrant condor]

it had an srv record but I deleted it

now it only has an A record

[knotty canyon]

just put the numerical ip there. since players wont be able to join through that ip anymore

[vagrant condor]

ok

btw, my paper console doesn't show anything when I try to join

so I think that the proxy isn't sending me there

[knotty canyon]

so the proxy is showing something atleast?

[vagrant condor]

yes

[vagrant condor]

this

[knotty canyon]

are you using modern forwarding?

[vagrant condor]

yes

[knotty canyon]

does the proxy work fine without any of the minehut settings?

[vagrant condor]

let me try to remove it and restart everything

HANG ON

I just realised that my start.sh of the paper server was:
java -Dminecraft.api.auth.host=https://authserver.mojang.com/ -Dminecraft.api.account.host=https://api.mojang.com/ -Dminecraft.api.services.host=https://api.minecraftservices.com/ -Dminecraft.api.session.host=https://api.minehut.com/mitm/proxy -Xms20480M -Xmx20480M -jar server.jar nogui

I forgot to change it

this might be the reason

[knotty canyon]

yeah the paper server isnt supposed to have the flags when using a proxy

only the proxy needs it

[vagrant condor]

yep

let me try to restart it

didn't change at all :(

I'm gonna cry

ok let me try to enter without MH settings

hum

doesn't seem to be working

[knotty canyon]

get it working without the minehut settings first and then add the minehut stuff afterwards

[knotty canyon]

I think its an issue with how you added the subserver. rather than using the local ip, use the direct numerical ip with port

[vagrant condor]

let me try

but it was working before

I see

the port 25566 is closed for some reason

I opened it and still doesn't work ._.

ok that's it

RECAP

I removed the proxy and I'm trying to upload on MH a standalone paper server

it's working fine but as soon as I try to upload it to MH with these settings it doesn't work anymore

I get this error

and if I try to access with the direct ip: 204.216.223.10:25565 I get this error

with the same ip it was working perfectly before

[vagrant condor]

I can't follow this guide because:

1. The url doesn't exist anymore
2. I can't use this guide 'cause it requires velocity (which I don't have)

NVM IT WORKS

kinda

I'm getting these errors in the console and I think they're related to the flags on the wiki, could you look into that?

also, really important, the itemsadder resourcepack doesn't work

I don't receive the request to install it and even if I try to install it manually, it doesn't load the textures

it was working before so it has to be related to MH

[tropic plover]

afaik, itemsadder defaults to a pack hosting website that minehut blocks

I think there's a fix but idk it

[vagrant condor]

I'm using self host option

I mean, the resource pack is hosted and updated real time on the server

all the files are stored in a folder there, so local access

[vagrant condor]

hey guys, any help with items adders self hosting feature?

[drowsy bane]

i am also having this same issue, would be nice to find a fix.

[vagrant condor]

Yeah exactly

I’ve read that a lot of people are having troubles with this, I think it might be of help for a lot

[idle siren]

i was told you cant do self hosting you have to use an external host

the list of external hosts and instructions are on that setup instruction guide

[drowsy bane]

theres 4, and they all suck

apart from maybe github

[idle siren]

unfortunatly those are the ones Minehut allows

[drowsy bane]

ive made a feedback request to whitelist lobfile, but no ones messaged in there

[idle siren]

there recovering from that massive downtime right now.

i too am about to link an external proxy. Linking direct was to messy

[vagrant condor]

Yeah, I’m using GitHub and it works fine

But self host would be awesome

Since rn every time you make a change you have to reupload it

With self host you can skip a step

[drowsy bane]

do you have to download the pack everytime you join the server?

for me you have to

[knotty canyon]

the reason Minehut doesn't allow self host is cause Minehut hashes the ips of all players who join through Minehut. so servers never know the real ip of players. Texturepacks have a behavior where the client itself makes a request to the link specified to download it. So what people did once was put an ip grabber there. And when the client made a request to download the pack, the ip gets left there. Normally this isn't an issue on regular servers cause they already know your real ip. but not on Minehut. so they made it only Minehut links or certain whitelisted links are allowed. but it would be cool if more links were whitelisted. if you know of any safe links that to not tell the link creator ips of users, let me know and I'll pass it to a dev.

[vagrant condor]

Yeah

[drowsy bane]

ItemsAdder has an option to use LobFile, it'd be cool if that were added.

[vagrant condor]

But I had that same problem before, I thought it was how itemsadder manages resource packs

[drowsy bane]

also tarna, do you know why we have to download the pack everytime we join the server?

is it because minehut's lobby has a pack

or what

[vagrant condor]

Alr, I see, thank you very much for making this clear

[knotty canyon]

yeah probably. when players join through the lobby and have accepeted the pack there, they would have to redownload the pack when joining a player server. but if you direct connect, it shouldn't be an issue

[drowsy bane]

like minehut > paper?

is that what u mean by direct

[knotty canyon]

can you send an example of what the links look like

[knotty canyon]

I mean like if a player joins through the direct ip like server.minehut.gg or a custom domain going through there

[drowsy bane]

lemme try

no, still have to download it

[drowsy bane]

https://lobfile.com/file/QrgPcEFb.zip

[knotty canyon]

I actually think thats normal isnt it? when you leave a server, the pack gets unloaded and you have to reget it when joining back. the only time you dont have to redownload it is when you are switching between servers of the same proxy.

[knotty canyon]

ill show this to a dev on Monday but probably wont be added for a while as they are working on big changes

[drowsy bane]

when you download a pack, it stays in your downloads folder (in .minecraft) and can be applied again once joining without redownloading (if the same pack is still applied to the server of course)

[knotty canyon]

it doesnt seem to do that for a server I just tried it on thats not through Minehut

[drowsy bane]

what server did you join

[drowsy bane]

expected behaviour: notice how it doesnt redownload the pack but applies it directly

oh ffs

here

[knotty canyon]

the server I did it on had a hub with no pack and one of their servers had a pack. so maybe that made a difference

probably similar to why it does that on MInehut

[drowsy bane]

then shouldnt the minehut pack also redownload??

[knotty canyon]

for me, it seemed to work fine. i joined minehut. downloaded minehut pack. joined that server, downloaded that pack. went back to minehut lobby. didnt have to redownload. and joined that server again and it didnt redownload

actually nvm, it did seem to redownload, it did it super fast that I didn't notice.

so im not sure

[drowsy bane]

actually, it seems like theres an error in console when a minehut player joins

[knotty canyon]

what is it?

[drowsy bane]

happened for all the times you joined

to me it seems like minehut is sending the wrong packets?

[knotty canyon]

minehut doesnt modify any packets for resource packs. all they do is intercept it, check if its coming from one of the allowed sources. and if it is, let it pass through. if not, block it

atleast thats my understanding

do you use any plugin to send the pack or just the link in server.properties

[drowsy bane]

could this be an itemsadder issue? i use no-host in the plugin, and host the pack in github, and like put the link in server.properties but my pack comes from ItemsAdder

[knotty canyon]

when I joined the server, i saw an error in chat about something like that

[drowsy bane]

i imagine this would be fixed if minehut supported LobFile or one of the external hosts

[knotty canyon]

isnt external-host the one you are supposed to be using?

and put the github link there

[drowsy bane]

i dont know, the wiki doesnt say anything about it, they only list DropBox, Google Drive and OneDrive

but i can try

i tried it and got this error upon joining

[knotty canyon]

any error in console?

cause with an internal error, there usually is one

[drowsy bane]

sends this wall of text

but no error

[knotty canyon]

that just seems to be a regular lost connection message

[drowsy bane]

hm that could just be an itemsadder issue

i tried joining not through minehut and i get the same error

[knotty canyon]

yeah just revert back to how you had it before then

[drowsy bane]

that error when joining is weird though (no-host)

im not sure if thats an itemsadder issue or a minehut issue

[vagrant condor]

hello @knotty canyon sorry for disturbing you, could I ask you a question in dm?

[knotty canyon]

sure

[drowsy bane]

do you have any update on whether lobfile will be whitelisted or not?

[waxen adder]

@here

can someone help me with a similar issue

[drowsy bane]

@knotty canyon

[knotty canyon]

I do not have any updates on that yet, sorry

[knotty canyon]

@drowsy bane it should be added now

[drowsy bane]

oh my god thank the lord

this also fixed the downloading the pack every join issue :)
