minehut External Plan

The External plan allows you to host a single server, or a server network (using Velocity or Waterfall) outside of Minehut, and connect it to the Minehut proxies, which has some benefits like being displayed in the Minehut server list, and being able to advertise in the Minehut lobby. This plan is primarily for experienced users as you are hosting your own server, and Minehut support has a limited capability of helping you through the setup and maintenance.

While the External plan counts towards removing the daily 4 hour uptime limit, it is not the correct plan if you still intend to use Minehut's servers. If you purchased this plan as a mistake, simply change the plan to something else and you will be refunded for the remainder of the time.

Please note that this feature is for advanced users. Ensure you read the guides below thoroughly so you don't misconfigure your server.

Yes but i faced some issues

long portal
#

what are the issues

tender meadow

#

you need to join through minehut

#

players aren't just redirected, they are still part of minehut. when using the external plan, all players must join through minehut. if you have a custom domain and want players to join with, you just need to route that domain through minehut

#

if you want players to join directly to the server outside of minehut, the only way to do that is through using two seprate proxies but it is not a supported feature

How do I set up a custom domain?

While using Minehut, all servers by default can be connected to by using the IP servername.minehut.gg. If you are interested in taking your server to the next level by using a custom domain, follow the tutorial below and you'll easily be able to set one up.

⚠️ Requirements:

  • Dashboard access to the Minehut server you'd like to use the custom domain on. This works with free, paid and external plans!
  • You will need to purchase a domain. This guide uses Cloudflare as it's a popular, affordable option, but you can use whichever domain registrar you'd like. The records needed are the same across all domain registrars, although the UI will look different than our screenshots if you use a different service.
  • You will need to have the DNS records page of your domain registrar open in your browser. Most of the custom domain setup involves your providers website

It’s possible but you need two proxies and it’s generally a complicated process not recommended for beginners

tender meadow

#

Have you worked with velocity before

#

I can set it up for you tomorrow but you need a way to split servers and I generally don’t work for free

Tarna is the guy who snaps me back to reality

tender meadow
#

snap back to reality hope that gives gravity

#

yea so quick recap

#

If your doing it , what exactly will you do?

grizzled hollow
#

Setup two velocities, one connected to Minehut and one not, and sync them properly if possible with your host

#

If worst comes to worst and craft lands doesn’t allow creating redis databases there are free solutions out there

grizzled hollow

#

Ahh nice so my external plan isnt useless

#

grizzled hollow
#

It’s no worry I just like helping out a bit I just stopped doing the actual setup work for people for free because sometimes people act entitled and it’s annoying

tender meadow
#

Thats nice

grizzled hollow
#

Still worth setting up a velocity if you want like a lobby if your main server crashes

tender meadow
#

Yeah i actually tried a couple of days ago ;-;

#

for a lobby

#

i even thought of using mvtp for a lobby

#

Shoot, lets do it

#

@long portal you got paypal?

long portal
#

tender meadow

tender meadow

#

grizzled hollow
#
