Create and connect databases
For plugins like LuckPerms or CoreProtect: a MySQL database in three clicks.
Some plugins and mods prefer to keep their data in a database rather than in files, especially when several servers share the same data. Every server includes 5 databases.
- Open your server in the Panel and click
Databaseson the left. - Click
New database, enter a name underDatabase name(for exampleluckperms) and leaveConnections fromempty. - Click
Create database. The list now showsEndpoint(address and port) and the username; the eye icon shows the password. - Enter address, port, database name, user and password in the plugin's configuration and restart the server.
Treat the password like a key. If it got into the wrong hands, Rotate password creates a new one; enter it in the plugin.
Connections from limits where connections may come from. Empty means anywhere, which is fine for plugins on your server. Deleting a database deletes its data; back it up first with an export from the plugin.
