Setup

This will walk you through installing HuskHomes on your Spigot or Fabric server, or proxy network of servers.

Requirements

If the plugin fails to load, please check that you are not running an incompatible version combination

  • A Spigot (1.17.1+) or Fabric (latest Minecraft version) Minecraft: Java Edition server running on Java 17+
  • (For proxy network support) A proxy server (Velocity, BungeeCord) and MySQL (v8.0+)/MariaDB/PostgreSQL database
  • (For optional Redis support) A Redis database (v5.0+)

Download HuskHomes for your server

Download the correct jar file for your server from the latest release page:

  • the HuskHomes-Paper jar for Spigot or Paper servers
  • the HuskHomes-Fabric jar for Fabric servers

Single-server Setup Instructions

These instructions are for simply installing HuskHomes on one Spigot or Fabric server.

1. Install the jar

  • Place the plugin jar file in the /plugins/ directory of your Spigot server, or the /mods directory of your Fabric server.

2. Restart the server and configure

  • Start, then stop your server to let HuskHomes generate the config file.
  • You can now edit the config and locales to your liking.

3. Turn on your server

  • Start your server again and enjoy HuskHomes!

Multi-server Setup Instructions

These instructions are for installing HuskHomes on multiple Spigot or Fabric servers and having them network together. A MySQL database (v8.0+) is required.

1. Install the jar

  • Place the plugin jar file in the /plugins/ directory of each Spigot server, or the /mods directory of your Fabric server.
  • You do not need to install HuskHomes as a proxy plugin.

2. Restart the server and configure

  • Start, then stop every server to let HuskHomes generate the config file.
  • Advanced users: If you'd prefer, you can just create one config.yml file and create symbolic links in each /plugins/HuskHomes/ (/config/huskhomes/ on Fabric) folder to it to make updating it easier.

3. Configure servers to use cross-server mode

  • Navigate to the HuskHomes config file on each server (~/plugins/HuskHomes/config.yml on Spigot, ~/config/huskhomes/config.yml on Fabric)
  • Under database, set type to MYSQL, MARIADB or POSTGRESQL (depending on which type of database you wish to use)
  • Under mysql/credentials, enter the credentials of your MySQL, MariaDB or PostgreSQL database server.
  • Scroll down and look for the cross_server section. Set enabled to true.
  • You can additionally configure a Redis server to use for network messaging, if you prefer (set the messenger_type to REDIS if you do this).
  • Save the config file. Make sure you have updated the file on every server.

4. Restart servers and set server.yml values

  • Restart each server again. A server.yml file should generate inside the plugin config directory you navigated to earlier
  • Set the name of the server in this file to the ID of this server as defined in the config of your proxy (e.g. if this is the "hub" server you access with /server hub, put "hub" here)

5. Restart your servers one last time

  • Provided your MySQL database credentials were correct, your network should now be setup to use HuskHomes!
  • You can delete the HuskHomesData.db SQLite flat file that was generated, if you would like.
Cross-Server RTP

When using Cross-Server RTP 3 things must be true:

  1. You must set rtp.cross-server to true
  2. You must be using Redis as your message broker
  3. The server names in rtp.random_target_servers must match the server.yml & Proxy values!
