HubPanels

Minecraft Panel

Full install guide

Buy on HubPanels → install on your Linux VPS → open the panel on port 8095 → install Minecraft → invite players.

  1. Create a HubPanels account Go to Register (or Login if you already have an account).
  2. Buy Minecraft Panel Open Minecraft Panel → click Buy now → pay with Stripe. After payment, download unlocks on Account → Minecraft Panel.
  3. Prepare a Linux VPS Ubuntu 22.04 / 24.04 (or similar Debian) recommended. You need root/sudo SSH. Java is installed by the installer if needed (OpenJDK 21 is fine). For a small Paper server, 2–4 GB RAM is a practical minimum; add more for more players / plugins.
  4. Install the panel (one command) On Account click Generate install link (1h), then Copy install command. SSH into your VPS and paste it:
    curl -fsSL https://hubpanels.com/install-minecraft-from-release.sh \
      | sudo MC_PANEL_URL='https://hubpanels.com/api/download/minecraft-panel?token=...' bash
    The token link expires in about 1 hour. Do not share your install link publicly. Use the exact command shown on your Account page.
  5. Create the panel admin During install the script asks for an admin username and password. That is your web login for the Minecraft panel.
  6. Open the panel in your browser Visit http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:8095 and sign in. You will see Dashboard, Settings, Players, Plugins, Install, Worlds, Console, Files, Schedules, Backups, Logs, and more.
  7. Install Minecraft from the panel Open Install, choose Paper (recommended) or Vanilla / Spigot / Fabric, set the Minecraft version (e.g. 1.21.1), then Start install. Wait until the job finishes in the progress console.
  8. Configure & start Set MOTD / slots / gamemode / Java memory in Server settings. Open RCON, set a password, Save + restart, then Test RCON (needed for kick / say / schedules). Then on the Dashboard click Start. Status should show RUNNING.
  9. Connect in-game Use the connect line on the Dashboard (your VPS public IP and game port, default 25565). Open firewall ports before inviting friends.
  10. Files, worlds & safe restarts On Files, click a folder to open it — text configs edit in-panel; jars and world data use Download. Prefer Safe stop / Safe restart so the world flushes. Use Backups regularly and schedule nightly restarts under Schedules.

Firewall tips

Allow at least these ports on the VPS / cloud security group:

  • Panel web UI — TCP 8095
  • Minecraft game — TCP 25565 (or the port set in Settings)

Example (UFW): sudo ufw allow 8095/tcp && sudo ufw allow 25565/tcp && sudo ufw reload
