Getting started

From creating your account to a protected server.

1
Create your account
Sign up and verify your email address. You need a verified account to buy a plan or contact support.
2
Choose a plan
Pick the plan that fits how many players you have online at the same time on the pricing page.
3
Download the plugin
Open the Downloads tab of your dashboard and download Hercules.
4
Install it
Stop your server, put the jar in the plugins folder and start the server once so the config file is created.
5
Add your license key
Copy your license key from the Overview tab of your dashboard and paste it into plugins/Hercules/config.yml.
6
Restart
Restart the server. It will show up under Servers in your dashboard as soon as it connects.

yaml

# plugins/Hercules/config.yml
license-key: "HERC-XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX"

Your license key is like a password. Never share it or post it in screenshots. If it leaks, regenerate it from your dashboard. The old key stops working immediately.
