Minecraft

Takaro supports Minecraft servers through our generic connector and the Takaro Minecraft mod. This integration enables real-time player event streaming, server log forwarding, player management capabilities, and remote server control. Minecraft uses the generic connector, which means your server connects outbound to Takaro — no port forwarding is needed. For details on how the connection works, see Connection Architecture.

Installation

To connect your Minecraft server to Takaro, you’ll need to install the Takaro Minecraft plugin on your existing Minecraft server.

Requirements

• Minecraft 1.21.5 server running Spigot
• Administrative access to your server files

Plugin Installation

1. Download the latest Takaro Minecraft plugin from the GitHub releases page
2. Place the plugin JAR file in your server’s plugins directory
3. Restart your Minecraft server
4. The plugin will create a configuration file at plugins/TakaroMinecraft/config.yml

Configuration

After installation, you’ll need to configure the plugin with your Takaro authentication tokens.

Edit the configuration file at plugins/TakaroMinecraft/config.yml:

takaro:
  authentication:
    identity_token: 'your-server-name'
    registration_token: 'your-takaro-registration-token'

Getting Your Tokens

1. Identity Token: Use a unique identifier for your Minecraft server
2. Registration Token: Obtain this from your Takaro dashboard when adding a new server

After updating the configuration, restart your Minecraft server for the changes to take effect.
