Minecraft Setup (local)
We suggest this setup if you want to play Minecraft alone!
Our support for Minecraft is based on different server frameworks. These allow for more flexibility while keeping your launcher setup clean. We suggest Paper if you are not familiar with the other frameworks.
Step 1. Use the Crowd Control desktop app to configure your instance of Minecraft.
- Click “Configure Minecraft”
- Confirm your Minecraft username
- Select Framework (we suggest Pape)
- “Local” Server Type
Step 2. Install the server framework and launch from the Crowd Control desktop app. “Click to install” button.
Step 3. Launch Minecraft how you normally would and select Multiplayer.
Step 4. Click Add Server, and use Server Address “127.0.0.1”. Then, join your server.
Step 5. Press “Start Session” in the Crowd Control desktop app.
Step 6. Use the Effect Manager in the CC Desktop app to test effects!
Minecraft Setup (remote)
We suggest this setup if you want to play Minecraft with others!
This setup assumes you already have a remote Minecraft Server that can use one of our supported Frameworks. If you don’t have a server host already, consider our current partner, Grryno, more info found on our blog. We also suggest taking a look at Nodecraft, but there are plenty of hosts that will work. The host will need to support additional open ports.
We require an additional port to be open for Crowd Control to function.
58431 is the default but the mod config allows you to edit it as required. We also suggest editing the config to change the Crowd Control Mod password. All supported frameworks have a config, see below for details.
Step 1. Configure Crowd Control to connect to your remote server.
- Click “Configure Minecraft”
- Confirm your Minecraft username
- Select Framework (more info on frameworks below, but your host should tell you)
- “Remote” Server Type
- Add your host address and Crowd Control mod port ( ‘58431’ is the default ).
- Add your Crowd Control plugin password ( ‘crowdcontrol’ is default)
Step 2. Launch Minecraft and select Multiplayer.
Step 3. Connect to your remote server or add your server.
Step 4. Press Start Session in the Crowd Control desktop app.
Step 5. Use the Effect Manager in the CC Desktop app to test effects!
