[1] Finding a Provider

There are a lot of hosting providers out there. Some are good, but most are not. You want the best performance for the best price, so let's take a look at the recommended options.

See this list for more provider options.

Providers to Be Careful Of:

Providers to Avoid:

[2] FileZilla Setup

FileZilla is a program that allows you to send and receive files to and from your server. I won't explain every part of this program, but I'll show the basics.

1 - First off, you need the download from here.

2 - Open it up, and at the top you should see this.

3 - Now you need to find out the information needed to connect to your server.

• If you don't already know your multicraft login information, you should check your email. Not all servers are immediately ready for use, so you may need to wait a bit before you receive this email.

• Within the email you receive, there should be a link to your multicraft control panel site along with your login information. This is NOT the information needed for FileZilla

• Open the link to the multicraft control panel. (Example: node37.minecrafted.net/multicraft/)

• Login with the information provided in the email.

• On the left, click "Files", Then "FTP File Access"

• Use the information on this page to login to FileZilla.

4 - If the bottom right shows your server (likely with default worlds, perhaps a plugin folder, etc.), then you've successfully connected.

[3] Downloading Spigot/PaperSpigot

Spigot is a modified version of CraftBukkit that provides better performance, and performance is important in hosting a UHC. PaperSpigot is a modified version of Spigot that provides even more performance enhancements.

Downloading PaperSpigot (Recommended For 1.9 ) | GIF

• (1.8.8)

• (1.9.4)

• (1.10.2)

• (1.11.2)

• (1.12.2)

• Additional downloads can be found here.

Downloading Spigot GIF

1 - Go here to download Spigot.

2 - Find the right version, and press "Download".

Now heres how to add this jar to your server:

1 - Open FileZilla and connect to your server.

2 - If you have folder named "Jar", drag it into there. Otherwise, put it in the main directory.

[4] Control Panel Configurations

Remember that link you had to follow from your email to connect to your Multicraft control panel? The site that gave you the information to log into FileZilla? Well, we're gonna need to do a few things on there again.

First of all, let me explain what the control panel is used for.

• This is where you can start/stop your server.

• You can view console and execute commands without being in the game.

• You can view/edit files such as skripts.

• You can make backups

That's basically everything you need to know for now about what is does. Now let's configure!

The follow things can be changed from the front page of the control panel:

1 - Player Slots (If you're unable to set this, it is likely locked by your provider. Most providers allow you to unlock slots upon request. If so, you just need to open a ticket in the client area of your hosting provider's website.)

2 - Jar File (Ex: spigot-1.9.2.jar, paperclip-685 (1).jar) | GIF

To edit the server.properties file, do the following: | GIF

• On the left, click "Files".

• On the left, click "Config Files".

• Click on "Server Settings" or "Server.Properties".

• Make sure "Enable Command Blocks" is set to "Enabled".

• Make sure "broadcast-console-to-ops" is set to "Disabled".

• Make sure "Whitelisting" is set to "Disabled".

• Make sure "Flying" is set to "Enabled".

• Click "Save" at the bottom.

To disable some annoying control panel commands, do the following: | GIF

1 - On the left, click "Advanced", then "Commands"

2 - Click on "Date"

3 - On the left, click "Delete Command"

4 - On the left, click "Back"

5 - Click on "Time"

6 - On the left, click "Delete Command"

To create files we'll need later, do the following: | GIF

1 - Start your server (at the top of the main control panel page)

2 - Stop your server

[7] Downloading Skripts

In this section, I'll be explaining exactly how to download skripts, and I'll explain which skripts are necessary for hosting a UHC. Many scenario skripts can be found on the official scenario list.

Recommended Skripts:

1 - Skript Utility Pack

• Open the folder named "scripts"

• Drag the skript file into here.

• Type "/sk reload <skript name>" or restart the server.

[8] Creating A Simple Spawn

How to build the spawn:

• "/mvc Spawn normal -t flat" (This will make a flat world. You can do "/mvc Spawn normal" for a normal world)

• "/mvtp Spawn"

• "/tppos 0 20 0" (This will teleport you to the center of the world so you don't lose the spawn later)

• Build the spawn by hand or by using WorldEdit

  • To use worldedit, do //wand and right click a block and left click another.
  • "//set <block>" (This will set all blocks between the two blocks to the block specified) | GIF
  • You can also do "//pos1" and "//pos2" instead of using the wand. | GIF

Creating a worldguard region: (Used to disable building, pvp, etc.) | GIF

• Go into the bottom corner of one side of the spawn.

• "//pos1"

• Go to the top of the opposite side of the spawn.

• "//pos2"

• "/region define <name>" (Ex: /region define spawnarea)

• "/region flag <name you just set> pvp deny (Ex: /region flag spawnarea pvp deny)

• Allow/disallow other features from this full list of flags.

Setting the Spawn | GIF

• Choose a place where you want players to spawn.

• "/setspawn"

[9] Hosting a UHC

This is the section of the post where I'll be explaining exactly how to use the plugins/skripts above to show you how to host a game.

Pregenerating a World | GIF

• Find a good seed using Amidst. (Not 90% Ocean)

• /mvdelete UHC (This deletes the world from your last game if you had one)

• /mvconfirm

• /mvc UHC normal -s <seed>

• /mvtp UHC

• /wb set <map radius> 0 0 (1000 Radius Recommended) (Border will stay even if the world is deleted)

• /wb shape square (This will stay until changed, Only needed once)

• /wb fill 50 100

• /wb fill confirm

Creating a Backup World | Click Here For a Full Post About This

(Note: You only have to do this once until you use the backup world)

• Generate a World

  • /mvc <worldname> normal -s <seed>

• Pregenerate the World

  • /mvtp <worldname>
  • /wb fill 50 100
  • /wb fill confirm

• Unload the World

Setting Walls (You only need to do one of the these)

• /worldborder set <map diameter> (Double Radius, 2000 Recommended) (1.8 ) | GIF

• /setwalls <world> <radius> [<center x>] [<center z>] [<block>] | GIF

Generating Nether/End (Note: You don't always need an end world) | GIF

• /mvc UHC_nether nether

• /mvnp link nether UHC UHC_nether

• /mvnp link nether UHC_nether UHC

• /mvc UHC_end end

• /mvnp link end UHC_end UHC

• /mvnp link end UHC UHC_end

Creating a Match Post | Click Here For The Official Guide

• Go to hosts.uhc.gg

• On the top right, click "Log In", login to reddit, and click "Allow" to link your reddit account.

• Go to a calendar and check for an available time. (Read the scheduling rules so you don't violate them)

• Completely fill out the form.

• Check the calendar again just to be sure nobody took the time.

• Click "Submit" at the bottom.

Using Hosting Commands

• Toggling Features

  • "/uhc" (Click which feature you want to toggle) (1.8 )
  • "/feature list", "/feature toggle <feature>" (<1.8)
  • /setrates <apple/flint> <percent>

• /shears <on/off> (Whether a player should be able to use shears to get apples)

• Opening a Game

  • "/maxplayers <number>" (Note: This cannot be higher than the number set in your server control panel)
  • "/whitelist off"

• Whitelisting players - "/whitelist add all" or "/whitelist add <player>"

• Unlocking teams (Chosen Team Games)

  • /team reset
  • /team limit <number>
  • /team management on

• Locking Teams - "/team management off"

• Randomizing Teams - "/team random <size> <amt>"

• Coloring Teams - "/team color"

• Disabling PvP - "/pvp global off"

• Freezing

  • "/ffg on" (1.8 )
  • "/freeze *" (<1.8)

• Scattering

  • Scattering (Teams) - /scatterteams <world> <radius> <minimum distance between teams>
  • Scattering (FFA) - /scatterall <world> <radius> <minimum distance between players>

• Starting Timer

  • /timer -t <time until meetup> Meetup (Ex: /timer -t 1h30m Meetup) (1.8 )

• Unfreezing

  • "/ffg off" (1.8 )
  • "/freeze *" (<1.8)

• Enabling PvP

  • "/pvp global on"

Shrinking Border (1.8 )

• "/worldborder set <new border diameter> <seconds until diameter is reached>

There are two ways to do a shrinking border. One is to make the border shrink over the duration of the match.

• (Ex: /worldborder set 1 4500) (This would take 75 minutes to shrink to 1x1)

The second way is to make it only shrink at meetup

• (Ex: /worldborder set 100 900) (This would take 15 minutes to shrink to 100x100)
