Databases

Some game servers and plugins need a MySQL database to store data. You can create and manage databases directly from the panel.

Creating a Database

1. Go to the Databases tab on your server
2. Click New Database
3. Enter a name for your database
4. Choose the connection source (leave as % to allow connections from anywhere, or restrict to specific IPs)
5. Click Create Database

📝 Note: Your plan determines how many databases you can create. If you've reached your limit, delete an unused database or upgrade your plan.

Viewing Connection Details

Click on a database in the list to view its connection details:

Use these details to configure your plugins or mods that require a database connection.

💡 Tip: Most Minecraft plugins that need a database will have a config.yml with fields for host, port, database, username, and password. Copy the values from the panel directly into that config.

Rotating a Password

If you need a new database password:

1. Click the Rotate Password button next to your database
2. The panel generates a new random password
3. Update your server configs with the new password

⚠️ Warning: Rotating the password immediately invalidates the old one. Any plugins using the old password will lose their database connection until you update them.

Deleting a Database

1. Click the Delete button next to the database
2. Type the database name to confirm
3. Click Confirm

Deleting a database permanently removes all data stored in it. This cannot be undone.
