Quick Start ​

This page explains where to download and how to configure the Connect plugin to list your Minecraft server on the Connect Network and allow players to join your server. It's easy!

Downloading the Connect Plugin ​

The installation steps are the same as for every other Minecraft plugin (Download jar, put in plugins folder, start server). The only difference is that you can download the Connect plugin right here, instead of SpigotMC.

What does the Connect Plugin do?

Disabling "enforce secure player profiles" Required ​

Since Minecraft 1.19 the enforce-secure-profile property was introduced. Players joining through the Connect Network to your server won't be able to join if this setting is enabled. It is safe to disable this setting as it only affects chat messages.

enforce-secure-profile=false

# If you disable online-mode, then enforce-secure-profile has no effect
online-mode=true

force-key-authentication=false

# If you disable online-mode, then force-key-authentication has no effect
online-mode=true

enforce_secure_profile=false

# If you disable online-mode, then enforce-secure-profile has no effect
online_mode=true

Joining your Server ​

Every server has a unique configurable Endpoint name that directly reflects the domain players can join the server with. If you leave this field empty, Connect will use a temporary random endpoint name for your server provided by the Random Name Service.

You can always update that endpoint name in the config:

endpoint: your-server-name

The environment variable CONNECT_ENDPOINT takes precedence over the configuration file.

Joining with free provided Public Domain ​

After installing Connect plugin and starting your server you will see the free public domain for your server that looks like <endpoint>.play.minekube.net.

Ping requests are also mirrored to the endpoint server.

Joining from Browser Hub ​

Players can also discover your server from the in-game Browser Hub at minekube.net and can join with the in-game UIs or with the /browser join <your-server-name> command.

Joining from your custom domain ​

Go to Endpoint Domains to learn how to use your own domain for your server.
