Setup

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

Requirements

  • A Spigot (1.16.5+), Fabric (latest Minecraft version), or Sponge (Implementing API v8) Minecraft: Java Edition server running on Java 16+
  • (For proxy network support) A proxy server (Velocity, BungeeCord) and MySQL (v8.0+) 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-Plugin jar for Spigot or Paper servers
  • the HuskHomes-Fabric jar for Fabric servers
  • or the HuskHomes-Sponge jar for Sponge servers

Single-server Setup Instructions

These instructions are for simply installing HuskHomes on one Spigot, Fabric or Sponge 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/Sponge 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, Fabric or Sponge 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/Sponge 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/Sponge) 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/Sponge)
  • Under database, set type to MYSQL
  • Under mysql/credentials, enter the credentials of your MySQL 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.
