Self hosting

What is the difference between self-host and the other methods?#

The difference is that with self-host you can download the pack directly from your server without having to upload it to a website each time you make a small change.

self-host is really useful when you are configuring the resourcepack on your test server on your PC.
You just have to use command /iazip and you'll see changes applied in-game almost instantly.

Configuration#

• Check in your hosting service panel if you can get an additional port; if not, please ask your hosting service support to provide you with one.

For example on Pterodactyl:

• After you obtained a new port you can open config.yml and set it like this:

  self-host:
    enabled: true
    server-ip: '127.0.0.1'
    pack-port: 8163

• You have to replace 127.0.0.1 with your server IP
• And replace 8163 with the new port you obtained.

For example if my IP is 123.456.789.0 and my additional port is 8163 I will set it like this:

  self-host:
    enabled: true
    server-ip: '123.456.789.0'
    pack-port: 8163

Last step#

After you configured the config.yml file you just have to run the /iazip command to refresh the zip file and start the hosting.

Continue installation if you need#
