11.8K template deployments on Sealos

Your friend’s first join, in four steps

  1. Choose your version and Administrator Password

    Choose 1.8 (Paper 1.8.8) or 1.12 (Paper 1.12.2) in the deployment configuration. Each deployment runs one selected version; running both uses separate instances and volumes.

    Set a strong, single-line Administrator Password in rcon_password and save it for server management.

  2. Deploy and open the admin console

    Select Deploy Eaglercraft, sign in to Sealos, and review your configuration. Open the deployed application card in Canvas to reach /admin. Enter your Administrator Password and select Confirm.

    The console opens during startup. Watch its status while Paper prepares the world.

  3. Wait for Paper, then join

    Wait for Paper is ready on Overview, then select Join game. In a fresh browser profile, use Edit Profile to choose a stable player name of 3–16 characters, then Done. Use Multiplayer → Join Server to enter the listed world.

    Press T and create your Player Account within 30 seconds using a personal password of 6–32 characters:

    /register <player-password>

    Registration signs you in. On later visits, keep the same player name and enter /login <player-password>.

  4. Invite a friend

    Copy the destination of Join game: this is the Browser Play Link. Share it with your friend. They open it in a WebGL-capable browser, choose their own stable player name, and register their own Player Account to join your world.

    Keep the Administrator Password private. Each player uses their personal game password.

Manage access and keep what you build

Illustrated connection from a browser through a game server to a persistent world.

Browser Play Link

The included browser client opens the game over HTTPS. Friends can play while your browser is closed, as long as the hosted server is running, reachable, and covered by your account’s available resources.

WebSocket Server Address

Overview shows the secure wss:// address. Paste it into a compatible existing Eaglercraft client using the same game version as your server.

Administrator Password

Use it at /admin to manage time, weather, players, world saves, configuration, trusted plugins, and controlled Paper restarts. Admin access controls the server.

Player Account

Your stable player name and LoginSecurity password identify you in the game. Register once, then log in with the same identity on future visits.

Persistent World

Worlds, player accounts, and configuration live on the deployment’s persistent volume. For retention across application restarts, preserve the same volume mounted at /eaglerx-data.

A separate recovery copy

Persistent storage keeps the working world across restarts. A separate backup provides a recovery copy after deletion or corruption. Save and keep a copy separately before upgrades or game-version changes.

Server resources and monthly hosting

The published 7-day free trial is for new users, subject to account eligibility and regional availability. Check the trial resources and terms in Cost Center.

Before you start

Does this include the client and server?

Yes. The template includes the browser client, Paper game server, secure WebSocket gateway, web admin console, and persistent storage.

How do I share the game with friends?

Send the Browser Play Link from Join game. Each friend chooses a stable player name and registers a personal Player Account when entering the world.

Can I use an existing Eaglercraft client?

Yes. Use the WebSocket Server Address shown on Overview in a compatible Eaglercraft client matching your selected server version.

Which game version should I choose?

Choose 1.8 for Paper 1.8.8 or 1.12 for Paper 1.12.2 to match your players. One deployment runs one version. Use separate instances and volumes for both.

Can friends play after I close my browser?

Yes, while the hosted application remains running and reachable and your account has the required resources. Server operation is independent of your browser session.

How many players can I host?

Capacity depends on world complexity, plugins, and player activity. Watch CPU, memory, and storage usage during play and increase your server allocation and plan when needed.
