RootMC Network

Network setup

Drop the suite jars, set one product key, restart once — your Paper host joins the RootMC network. Prove it with /rootcore connect.

Paper 26.x Operators Product key

Goal

After this checklist, the host has shared identity in plugins/RootMC/cloud.yml, license presence on api.rootmc.net, and /rootcore connect prints NETWORK CONNECTED. Feature plugins then share economy sync, Discord hooks, stats, and transfer mesh through that identity.

Network spine (required)

  • Root-Core — bind, presence, shared folder, updater, Discord/Slack comms
  • RootMC — heartbeat, account link, cloud economy consumers

Outbound HTTPS to https://api.rootmc.net must work from the host. Set cloud.yml discord.* / slack.* under Root-Core for per-server chat bridge and reachout. Do not install a separate Root-Discord jar.

Checklist

  1. Install jars for the spine plus any packs you bought (Root-Claims land — see live land).
  2. Register at the developer portal and create a product key.
  3. Edit plugins/RootMC/root-core.yml: set server-name and product-key. Leave cloud secrets blank on first boot.
  4. Start (or restart) Paper once. Root-Core binds and writes server-id / server-secret into cloud.yml.
  5. Run /rootcore connect — expect NETWORK CONNECTED.
  6. Optional: Discord bot fields in cloud.yml, confirm the host under My Servers, run /rootcore update for suite jars.

/rootcore connect

Pass/fail probe for operators (rootcore.admin):

  • Required plugins enabled
  • Cloud credentials present
  • Product key present + license presence OK (or bind id set)
  • API base reachable over HTTPS
  • Recommended packs reported as WARN if missing (do not fail the spine)

/rootcore status stays the verbose dump and shows a NETWORK CONNECTED / INCOMPLETE banner at the top.

Where jars live

Public catalog: rootmc.net/plugins. Source of truth for versions and downloads: manifest.json. Root-Core self-updates (and can self-install) every file listed there via /rootcore update or the scheduled poll. Do not treat GitHub Releases as jar distribution.
