To get a server running, you generally need two components working together: The Backend (Minecraft Server): Spigot or Paper 1.8.8 The Proxy (EaglerXBungee):
build_make_workspace : Sets up the necessary workspace for the server to function.
Start the backend server first, followed by the proxy. Share your proxy's WebSocket address ( wss://your-domain-or-ip:port ) with your friends so they can input it into their browsers. Performance Optimization Tips followed by the proxy.
Setting up an Eaglercraft server requires some technical knowledge, but it's a relatively straightforward process:
: A standard Minecraft 1.8.8 server (often using Spigot, BungeeCord, or Velocity) that actually runs the game logic. Common Hosting Methods
