Run the server in a screen session (Linux/Mac) or as a background process (Windows .bat script):
: Provides a "one-click" deployment for those who want a more robust, professional environment with auto-scaling and high availability. Method 2: The Custom Way (BungeeCord + Replit) how to create a server on eaglercraft
Edit the HTML file's "Server List" section to include your server's IP address and the WebSocket port you chose earlier (e.g., ws://your-ip-here:8081 ). Run the server in a screen session (Linux/Mac)
| Problem | Likely fix | |---------|-------------| | Connection refused | Wrong port or server not running | | WebSocket handshake error | Using http:// instead of ws:// in client | | Friends can’t connect | Firewall blocking port; or use ngrok | | Server won’t start | Install Java 8 or higher ( java -version ) | | Laggy gameplay | Eaglercraft server is lightweight, but client depends on browser/GPU | Since Eaglercraft uses a specialized bridge to connect
