Step 1 — Download & Extract

1. Download the setup from BuiltByBit.
2. Extract the archive using WinRAR or 7-Zip.
3. Open the extracted folder and install all dependencies listed in the included text file.

Step 2 — Upload Files via FileZilla

Most hosts have a file size upload limit, so uploading via SFTP (FileZilla) is the most reliable method.

1. Select all server files and archive them as .zip (avoid .rar — some hosts block it).
2. Download and open FileZilla.
3. Find your host's FTP/SFTP details (Host, Username, Port, Password) — usually in the File Manager or Settings tab of your hosting panel.
4. Enter the credentials into FileZilla's top bar and click Quickconnect.
   • Some hosts have a "Launch SFTP" button that opens FileZilla automatically.
5. On the right panel (server side), delete any existing files.
6. Drag and drop your .zip from the left panel (local) to the right panel (server).
7. After uploading, open your host's File Manager and extract the .zip.

Step 3 — Configure the Server

In your hosting panel's Startup or Settings tab:

• Set Java version to Java 21.
• Set the startup jar filename to server.jar.

---

Step 4 — Start the Server

Start the server from your hosting panel. Startup takes approximately 60 seconds on first launch. Connect using your host's provided IP address.

---

⚠️ If the server fails to start, double-check your Java version and that server.jar is set as the startup file.
