Getting Started with Your Minecraft Server

Welcome to AgilaHost!

Congratulations on your new Minecraft server. This guide will walk you through everything you need to do after purchase.

Step 1: Check Your Email

After payment, you'll receive an email with your server credentials including:

• Panel URL — The link to your Pterodactyl game panel
• Username — Your email address
• Password — Your panel login password
• Server IP and Port — What players use to connect

Step 2: Log Into the Game Panel

Visit your panel URL and log in with the credentials from your email. You'll see your server listed on the dashboard.

Step 3: Start Your Server

Click on your server, then click the green Start button. Wait for the console to show the server is online. The first start may take a minute as it generates the world.

Step 4: Accept the EULA

Minecraft requires you to accept their End User License Agreement. If the server stops with an EULA message:

1. Go to the Files tab
2. Open eula.txt
3. Change eula=false to eula=true
4. Save and restart the server

Step 5: Connect to Your Server

Open Minecraft, click Multiplayer → Add Server, and enter your server's IP address and port (e.g., 125.253.92.5:25565).

Common First-Time Issues

• "Can't connect" — Make sure you're using the correct IP:Port, your Minecraft version matches the server version, and you're using the right edition (Java vs Bedrock)
• Server goes offline after starting — Check the console for errors. Usually it's a missing EULA acceptance or a version mismatch
• Lag on first join — The server is generating chunks. This is normal and improves after the initial exploration
