How to set up a Paper or Purpur Java server¶

Use this guide to set up a Paper or Purpur based Java server on NexusCloud.

Before you start¶

• Make sure the server egg is actually for Paper or Purpur.
• Back up your data if you are switching software from an existing server.
• Use official builds from trusted sources.

Download the official server jar¶

• Paper: PaperMC Downloads
• Purpur: Purpur Downloads

Installation steps¶

1. Upload the jar to the panel¶

1. Open https://panel.nexuscloud.id/.
2. Select your server.
3. Go to Files.
4. Upload the Paper or Purpur .jar file you just downloaded.
5. Click the three-dot menu next to the uploaded file and rename it to server.jar.

2. Adjust Startup¶

1. Go to Startup.
2. Change the Minecraft Version to match the one you downloaded.
3. If the startup requires a specific file name, rename the jar accordingly (for example, server.jar).

3. Start the server¶

1. Go back to Console.
2. Start or restart the server.
3. Wait until the initial file generation finishes.

How to OP a player¶

In the console, run:

op PlayerName

The player does not need to be online as long as the name you enter is valid.

Common extra settings¶

Example in server.properties:

allow-flight=true
spawn-protection=0

If you want to update the version¶

• Download the new jar from the official site.
• Stop the server.
• Replace the old jar with the new one.
• Make sure the file name still matches the startup config.
• Start the server and check the console.

According to the Paper documentation, do not replace the server jar while the server is still running.
