Game Servers

Pair your Minecraft server with Storra so deliveries fire automatically.

To deliver in-game items (run /give commands, grant ranks, etc.) Storra needs to talk to your Minecraft server. There are two ways: the Storra plugin (recommended) or RCON (legacy).

Add a server

  1. Go to Game Servers and click Add server.
  2. Give the server a name (e.g. "Survival" or "Creative") so you can tell them apart in package deliverables.
  3. Save. Storra generates a server ID and a pairing secret.

See Plugin Installation for the full walkthrough. The plugin polls Storra for pending commands and runs them — no inbound network access needed (works behind firewalls / NAT).

RCON (legacy)

If you can't run the plugin (proxy-only setup, custom server software), Storra can connect via Source RCON instead.

  1. Enable RCON in your server's server.properties: enable-rcon=true, rcon.port=25575, rcon.password=<long-random-password>.
  2. Open your firewall to allow Storra's IP range to reach the RCON port.
  3. In the Storra dashboard, click Configure RCON on your server card and enter host + port + password.
  4. The password is encrypted at rest with per-store keys.

Heartbeat

Once paired (plugin or RCON), the server card shows live status: online/offline, player count, TPS, plugin version. The card flips to "stale" if no heartbeat in 5 minutes — usually means the plugin crashed or the server went down.
