Selfhosting

To selfhost the project, you will need a host that supports custom HTTP ports and plugins (if it can run Dynmap, it can probably run this), or a plain VPS server.

Minecraft Side

Hosting on a Linux VPS server:

  1. Install Java: Ensure Java 21 is installed by running java --version. If not installed, run sudo apt install openjdk-21-jdk.
  2. Prepare Directory:
    • Create a new directory for your Minecraft server:
      mkdir 
      cd 
  3. Download Server Software:
  4. Run the Server:
    • Start the server with allocated memory:
      java -XmxM -XmsM -jar .jar
  5. Agree to EULA:
    • Edit eula.txt to accept the EULA:
      nano eula.txt
    • Change false to true, save with CTRL+O, and exit with CTRL+X.
  6. Configure Server:
    • Modify server.properties:
      nano server.properties
    • Add {"layers":[{"block":"minecraft:air","height":63},{"block":"minecraft:grass_block","height":1}]} to the generator-settings field.
    • Set level-type to minecraft:flat.
  7. Install Plugins:
  8. Start Server:
    • Run the server again and allow it to generate necessary files.

Note: Additional hosting options may be provided in the future.

Roblox Side

  1. Upload Game:
    • Download the Roblox game or create your own from the source, then upload it to Roblox.
  2. Configure IP:
    • Set the IP and port of your Minecraft server's HTTP endpoint in ReplicatedStorage, example "server-ip:CrossplayPackage port".
  3. Enable HTTP Requests:
    • Go to game settings on Roblox and enable HTTP requests.

For further details, contact support.

Demo

We provide a demo for you to test the source without needing to set up everything yourself.

  • Demo Server IP: demo.crossplayproject.xyz
  • Demo Roblox link: 🙀
  • API Base URL: https://crossplayproject.xyz/demo/

To use the endpoints, append the endpoint name to the base URL. For example, to access the /players endpoint, use https://crossplayproject.xyz/demo/players.
